Pete is always watching out for me and my kids. He is so thorough. He pointed out aspects of my case that I didn't know were important and really protected my interests. He and Dawn (assistant) keep me well informed of developments. He has been a true professional in court and privately. My kids and I feel protected and he is constantly there to be supportive and helpful. I would recommend him highly without reservation to anyone who is looking for a wonderful attorney. AAAAA++++++

We had a private nuisance matter that we thought would never come to an end. We were on the verge of losing our minds. We spoke with several area attorneys, all of whom recommended a course of action that, especially in hindsight, would have drained our savings and left us in a worse-off position. Luckily we trusted our instincts and waited until we found the right attorney for the job. Mr. Kratcoski was just that. He listened carefully to our concerns, proceeded cautiously and strategically, and ended up helping us completely resolve our case in our favor without endless and costly litigation. Hands down, he is the most ethical attorney I have ever dealt with. To boot he is an extremely nice person, and he made us feel throughout our case that we had the "big guns" on our side should we need them. He managed our case exactly the way it needed to be managed, and I can't tell you how thankful we are to have our lives back. Everything about the firm is great. If his areas of practice fit your needs, look no further. He's a busy person (for obvious reasons), so be patient, listen to him, trust him, follow his advice, and let him and his firm work their magic. If there's a good result to be found, Mr. Kratcoski and his staff will find it. Again, we are indebted and grateful far beyond the reasonable sum of money we paid to have this matter resolved in our favor. An excellent experience from start to finish. If we need representation again in the future, we know who to call.

I have used Mr. Kratcoski several times in the past for various issues. He helped me navigate my divorce, and various child support and custody issues. I have been very satisfied with him. He is extremely knowledgable and also very fair. I have personally recommended him to several other people and definitely have his number in my phone for in the future. As another reviewersaid he is busy, so be patient, but he has always gotten back to me!

I met with attorney can from this firm in july 2016 for an hour after calling twice on the phone. After the hour meeting, attorney can told me he cannot represent me as the defendant was being represented by someone who rents office space from them. He even told me he went downstairs and took a folder from said defendant and gave it to his attorney. Now the same defendant hires attorney kratcoski. After being made aware of the conflict and seeing phone logs, i described the office and i knew they rented space to troy reeves which is not public knowledge, he refuses to withdraw. This is very unethical. I have reported him to portage county ethics committe and was already told this is a major ethical problem. My attorney has been trying to get attorney kratcoski to withdraw now for over a month. He refuses. Today he was supposed to send errol can, a partner to a hearing to get this situated and instead, he files a motion to continue. I believe that attorney can and this firm met with me to get inside info on my case as they saw alot of my evidence in the hour we met so they can represent the defendant with insider info. This firm is extremely unethical to refuse to withdraw from a case when You have already met with the plaintiff and then decide to represent the defendant
