Services
At John C. Lackatos, P.C., our firm provides experienced legal counsel for people facing particularly complex legal matters. From protecting your personal freedom when facing criminal charges to protecting your parental and property rights in a divorce, we are dedicated to obtaining positive results for every client.
At John C. Lackatos, P.C., we understand that a good lawyer needs to be versatile. The tough, aggressive approach that often works well for criminal defense is typically not as effective or productive in a family law case. In divorce, custody and other family law matters, peaceful negotiation and cooperation often yield the best results.
Estate planning is about more than just deciding who will inherit your possessions and assets when you pass. In fact, estate planning is so important, in part, because Americans are living longer than ever before. Your plan will include documents related to your preferences for medical care later in life and who should make medical and financial decisions on your behalf if you ever become incapacitated.
Although our firm is highly experienced in all areas of law we practice, our criminal defense work is particularly noteworthy. Attorney Lackatos has worked as a police officer, a prosecutor and as chief public defender before going into private practice as a criminal defense attorney. He thoroughly examines cases from all perspectives, which greatly benefits our clients.
Although it is not a commonly used term, firearms law is the intersection of many legal practice areas: criminal defense, civil rights and estate planning, just to name a few. Our attorney, John Lackatos, has spent his career helping clients with legal issues related to gun ownership and possession.

Worst attorney ever. He did not advocate for my fiancé in his custody trial and worked AGAINST HIM in his own trial. Never answered or returned phone calls and spoke to the defendant more than he talked to his own client. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone. He was always unprepared in court and fought for the mothers side instead of his clients. On top of that, he would answer other clients phone calls when we were in the office and did not use privacy measures while doing so.

Listen, I understand attorneys are extremely busy, dealing with multiple cases and clients at once. However, there comes a point where one should actually respond to their clients. I called this office multiple times a week throughout a course of three months. I just wanted to know the status of my case. My calls were NEVER returned over a course of three months. I left on average 6-7 voicemails throughout this time and I received absolutely no response, from anyone. On top of that, I was beginning to get worried because my check was never cashed. So now I had a random check floating around, waiting

As lawyers go, he is one of the good ones. He is more accessible than any lawyer I have ever had experience dealing with. He is also very honest and fair about his hourly billing etc. He won't turn 5 minutes into an hour (like most lawyers have a tendency of doing). All and all he is just a good human being, probably too good for his profession.
