Verified ClientHired Attorney 2024-2025Our family required legal representation and chose John J. Fioravanti, Jr. to represent us. As with most people hiring a lawyer for the first time, we were not sure what to expect. Well, we couldn’t have had a better experience. He handled our case brilliantly. He was very detail oriented, extremely dedicated to his client and always Garymade himself readily available. I would without a doubt recommend Mr. Fioravanti to friends and family.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2024-2025We can't say enough good things about John Fioravanti. We needed to find an attorney for our son for a felony case. We did extensive research trying to find the best lawyer to represent our son and John had so many great reviews. As soon as we met him, we knew that he was the lawyer we needed. John listened to our son and guided us through every step of the process. He referred our son to all of the experts that were needed to evaluate and help our son throughout the case and beyond. In the courtroom, you could see how well respected John is. I don't think we could have found a more experienced, knowledgeable, honest, supportive and caring lawyer. John fought for our son, who has ASD and was able to get the best possible outcome for our son. We are beyond happy with our experience with John. We can't thank him enough for everything he did for our son and for us. I would highly recommend John to anyone who needed an amazing defense attorney who will give you the best representation possible.

Attorney Information
Overview
I attended Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, where I received a Bachelor of science degree in psychology, authored an Honors paper and graduated sixth in rank from my entire graduating class.
Beginning in the fall of 1972, I attended the Temple University School of Law, and graduated 1978.
I worked as a Bucks County Public Defender beginning in the spring of 1979.
As a public defender I operated the juvenile court division for some time and tried many criminal cases, with and without juries. My expertise in the criminal field moved to death penalty litigation in 1982. In 1986, I was appointed as the deputy public defender, in charged of hiring new lawyers, trial training and trial assignments.
In 1989, I began a private law firm partnership with David H. Knight. We handled criminal defense, juvenile law, family law, federal criminal law, appellate litigation in state and federal courts, estates and civil litigation. I was appointed to the Bucks County Court appointed list and continue to serve in that capacity and am also a court appointed member for Pennsylvania Federal cases.
In 1993, I ran as the democratic candidate for Bucks County District Attorney and was defeated in the November election.
In June of 2013, I became a sole practitioner, and focus in the state and federal criminal areas, although I do a fair amount of juvenile law, some personal injury, civil and estate work along with some child custody.
Throughout the years, I have served on the Board of Directors for the Community Commitment Corporation, an agency treating juveniles in the community and have also served on the Board of Directors for Reaching at Problems, a home for abused young females
