About
My law office has been open since 2006. Since 2001, I have practiced in real estate law, bankruptcy law, and general business law. I handle all types of real estate closings, including both residential and commercial properties. My bankruptcy practice includes cases under Chapter 7, 13, and 11, as well as bankruptcy litigation. I have extensive experience in other matters, such as business formation, contract negotiation, landlord/tenant, and general litigation. As the owner of a small firm, my primary focus is on providing the highest possible level of service to my clients. It is important to me to get to know my clients as people, not just customers. I keep my clients informed on all aspects of their cases, encourage questions, and take the time to thoroughly explain all issues. I return all phone calls and emails the same day, if at all possible. I offer free consultations, in addition to reasonable fees. Payment plans are available for most types of matters. Outside of the law, I am an avid runner and hiker. I play 3 musical instruments, and I love animals, especially cats.

Peter L Berk is a kn incredible attorney. He did an absolute stellar job. Questions answered immediately! Did a thorough job explaining key details and even after it was all over still offered advice and direction. Stop your search now and get with Peter! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
Peter was recommended by Hyatt Legal Services, which I utilized as a voluntary benefit from work. My wife and I are very grateful to have hired Peter as our attorney during the home purchasing process. He promptly answered all of our questions and requests during the contract negotiation and inspection period, and made the daunting closing process go very smoothly. He has great attention to detail and explained each legal document thoroughly. We highly recommend hiring Peter L. Berk for your real estate legal needs.
Peter was very thorough - he listened to the issue and gave me sound advice based on my situation. I now have a game plan in place that will help me deal with a problem and I don't need to hire an attorney. Thanks- nice work!
My wife and I recently closed on a difficult Short Sale in Illinois and were fortunate enough to have found Peter Berk to represent us. I must say that I have never worked with a professional that managed any number of conflicts and kept the process moving as successfully as Peter. I highly recommend Peter and his associates. You will not be disappointed.
I cannot say enough great things about Peter Berk! I had the pleasure of being put in touch with him to represent me when attempting to close the selling of my condo via short sale. I was completely clueless about the process and Peter always took the time and care to respond to my questions and concerns in a very timely manner. He went above and beyond the call of duty, easing my fears near closing time. Not only did he get the job done in what I have learned was one of the more difficult short sales, but he truly made this experience as easy as possible. If you are in need of a quality, considerate, efficient, and successful attorney, look no further. Peter Berk is your guy!
Peter Berk assisted me with my c13 bankruptcy and his service through the 5 year completion process was outstanding! His professionalism & heartfelt concerns definitely went above & beyond my expectations. Peter Berk never missed following through on any issue & he always responded to each immediately! I could not have asked for better service, which played a critical part in helping me stay on track & achieve my ultimate goal!!
I needed a lawyer trustworthy and knowledgeable Peter Berk is all that and more! I needed timely advise on a real estate partners bankruptcy that was enveloping me. Peter helped to protect my interests, recover assets, and provided council for going foreward.
I had interviewed several lawyers before I decided on Mr. Berk. What ultimately lead to my decision was Peter's responsiveness. Others thought my case to be extremely difficult or impossible to pursue and if I where to prevail the reward to small to warrant the expense. Peter warned me that there prognosis could be an reality however he also had a game plan to make my wishes come true. It was a very long haul the opposition thew every they could at us but Peter's extensive knowledge and my tenacity lead us to a settlement which made us both ( Peter and I ) vary happy.
After a long ordeal with some properties we owned, we were forced into bankruptcy. We had discussed Bankruptcy with another attorney who seemed focused on treating us like a number. We were introduced to Peter by our attorney who dealt with our other issues. Peter, after listening to our saga, came up with an approach that was not even discussed by the other bankruptcy attorney. Peter quickly wrote up our case to be filed for our review and was prompt with responses to questions or changes. Our case was filed quickly and went through without a hitch. I have already recommended Peter to another person who was satisfied with his service and will not hesitate to recommend Peter in the future.
I had to file bankruptcy, and peter guided me all the way through explaining everything to me so I would understand what was going to happen and what to expect I advise anyone who needs an attorney look up Peter Berk he is the BOMB.COM!
