Michael Petro did an amazing job! He was very helpful and actually took the time to explain and go over everything. Having someone who is kind and knows what he’s doing is super important and he exceeded all that and more. Michael Petro did such a great job taking care of everything!

My husband had the most complicated X felony case ever. We called a lot of attorneys but no one was able to help us. Michael Petro was the only one who agreed on to work on that case and he did awesome job. He was able to vacate all charges like my husband never ever had anything on his records. It was mission impossible, but we believed in him and he didn’t disappoint us. My husband and I are the luckiest family due to attorney M.Petro. Would highly recommend him! The price that he charged us was very reasonable for the job that he did. He is the only one that would do his best to help you in any situation no matter how hard it is.

I was in trouble with the Illinois State Police for DUI. Mr. Petro put on my trial and won. The Judge really paid attention to everything he said. He was in control of the whole thing. I would refer anyone in trouble to use Mr. Petro.

I unfortunately got into some very serious trouble back in 2010 that led to my name being on the FBI website and me facing 44 years in prison. I cannot pretend as if I wasn't nervous but Mr. Petro definitely came through for me in big ways. He is an excellent attorney whose professionalism and personable demeanor is why I would recommend him to anyone in need. He was there for me when I needed him most and never gave me the impression that I was just another client. When my family had issues bailing me out, they called him at 1 in the morning and he answered fully prepared to help. He made sure i didnt have to serve that time in prison and I am forever grateful for that. I can sit here and tell a million reasons why you should put your trust in the guy, however, all you need to know is that when your situation is bleak and you need an attorney who cares and gets REAL results, Mike Petro is your guy.

On Sunday, I was returning to Miami after a cruise with my fiancée. Out of nowhere, Customs arrested my fiancée allegedly for a warrant from Indiana. Out of nowhere, my fiancée was locked up without bond in the Miami jail. Mr. Petro worked non-stop to get my fiancee' out of the Miami jail. He worked with prosecutors in Miami and Indiana to correct this mistake. Today, my fiancée was released. I can not tell you how grateful I am for Mr. Petro's efforts. HIs experience and persistence is incredible. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a top notch attorney. Thank you Mr. Petro!

Yesterday, I was arrested for allegedly delivering a pound of marijuana to another guy. I was at the police station for over 24 hours. Fortunately, my brother knew attorney Petro. Out of nowhere, he arrived at the station and got down to business. I think his presence was very intimidating to the police because of his reputation. Two hours later, I was released without being charged and I got my car back. This is such an incredible relief. Thank you Michael J. Petro!

Being charged with a federal case is so hard. There are so many rules and procedures. Having Mr. Petro on my side made the difference. He has been doing this stuff so long that there isn't one question you could ask him that he doesn't know the answer too. With all this knowledge of the system and the judges and the laws, making the right choices is easy. I appreciate this man and this lawyer. If you have a federal case, call Mr. Petro, he is the best!

Yesterday, Attorney Petro was on fire. I can only say that his cross of the two State's witnesses was like fireworks. He relentlessly cross examined the State's main witness. The witness caved in. The truth came out. And the Judge found me Not Guilty. Mr. Petro was professional and timely. I would recommend him to anyone that is in trouble with the law.

Michael Petro saved me from jail. I was federal charged for opening a bank account that was used for fraud. Michael prepared the case for trial. The day before the trial, the prosecutor reduced my case to a misdemeanor federal charge and I got probation. At the sentencing, Michael brought my whole family and kids to convince the Judge. Use Mr. Petro if you have a federal case.

Michael J. Petro represented me two times. Both cased went to trial. Both cases I won due to the great lawyering of Michael J. Petro. I would hate to think of my life today had the outcome of either case been different. Hire Michael J. Petro with confidence.
