I was referred to Peter Kratsa through a friend who had amazing things to say about him. After speaking with him the first time, I knew why my friend thought so highly of him. You could tell, even through the phone, how much he cared about his clients & the outcomes of the cases he takes on. I felt like I finally had someone on my side who I could trust. Peter and his staff are always available to speak, promptly & they explain things in the clearest of ways so you fully understand your options. I am so pleased with working with him and I would recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

Mr. Kratsa provided excellent representation in my 2015 case. Very knowledgeable of the law. More importantly, he knows the nuances of the judicial process and the folks that oversee it in Chester County PA--judges, magistrates, clerks etc. Very personable; great at listening and providing advice and recommendations. Overall, an excellent and successful experience.

My case was a fairly simple one. Public intoxication, and Disorderly conduct, both were fines, but I did not feel that I was at fault. Peter was very close to the police officer in this case, and the judge as well. The charges were completely dropped, and I felt as if I had been represented very well. I would highly recommend.
