John C. Lackatos, P.C. 1040 Elk Street, Franklin, PA 16323

"I was looking at 60-90 days in jail and my hearing was in 4 days. However, Mr. Lackatos was able to work with me on such short notice and managed to get the charge withdrawn, sparring me 2 months in jail. He was also very affordable and extremely kind compared to other attorneys in the area."

"I echo the one review below. I have a horrendous custody agreement I am still paying the price for. Very unresponsive, was not proactive, and ended up costing me a ton in spousal support by not challenging the fact my ex was cohabitating with her new husband while receiving spousal support. A good attorney would have stood up for me instead of encouraging me to sign something that I have been told by multiple attorneys since then would have been easy to fight."

"He was there for me when I needed him. However, I have been trying to get the remainder of my retainer returned. Countless phone calls/voicemail, letter sent, and used his website "ask attorney" No response! It has been several months. Next step is the legal board?"

"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 to make sure the hundreds of dollars were in the right hands. The communication was so poor that I had to result in reaching out through the attorney office website's on their "ask me a question" section. The job was never completed and decided to leave this attorney once I spoke to other lawyers, who found it very shocking and unprofessional. Overall, the guy was nice, but definitely a no go for me."
