Attorney Peter Billings

I was recently involved in a case where I was fortunate to be represented by attorney Peter Billings. Mr. Billings was highly recommended to me by a very trusted source in the community and I was very pleased and relieved to have him by my side in court. He was very professional and excellent wit...h handling my legal matters at a fair price. Mr. Billings is knowledgeable, well prepared, empathetic, and very intelligent. He took the time to explain the situation, steps of the process, and best/ worst case scenarios. Mr. Billings answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner making me feel reassured. I strongly recommend attorney Billings as he obtained an excellent outcome, or best case scenario, while representing me in court.

Expert criminal defense lawyer

Attorney Peter Billings is truly amazing. I used his services for a time-consuming and delicately negotiated criminal matter. From the onset of the criminal matter, Atty Billings was candid and honest about how the case would proceed and typical outcomes for the charges involved. He was available to ...me via phone calls, texting and email on a consistent 24/7 basis. Additionally, he was a part of all interviews with law-enforcement, State agencies, and other legal entities, if needed. Recommendations made by him related to all criminal matters were explained carefully and thoroughly. With the consistent legal support from Atty Billings, I never felt I was out of the loop with any negotiations between the State and him. His cost was extremely fair compared to all other criminal defense attorneys in the area that I consulted with prior to his selection. While I hope to not need his services in the future, there is no other phone call I would make for an attorney if a criminal matter arose. You can rest for assured he will maintain strict confidentiality in regard to the criminal matter and is well respected in the State of Connecticut judicial system. The outcome of the criminal matter was better than expected, however it was in line with expectations, as explained by Atty Billings at my first consultation, for the case. If you need a criminal defense attorney you would be doing yourself a horrible disservice if you do not reach out to Atty Billings for a consultation.

Excellent Divorce Lawyer

Needless to say, I did not envision myself encountering a divorce so early in my relationship but Attorney Billings provided the much needed stability to guide me through the complex legal process. While it seemed like everything around me was in disarray, Attorney Billings proved to be extremely tru...stworthy, knowledgeable and communicative while he navigated the situation and kept my best interests as his priority. Together with his affordable rate, his top notch service is something that I will forever be grateful.

the greatest lawyer

Hiring Peter Billings for my criminal case was one of the best and most important decisions we have made in our lives. Without the investment of time and knowledge that Peter contributed to my case I definitely would be yet another innocent person serving a prison sentence for a crime I did not commi...t. Before we met Peter my fiance and I cried daily because we was led to believe there was no hope for an acquittal and I was encouraged to take a plea deal that involved jail time by two other attorneys. I was reserved to my fate and was about to give up when we met Mr. Billings. Since his introduction to my case my fiance, our three children and I became filled with great hope because we finally found an attorney who believed in us and had a plan to fight the case brought against me. We now had my freedom to look forward to. Our sleepless nights became sleeping nights, because my attorney explained the case clearly and honestly and he always made sure that we understood the good and the bad. Peter came to our home for many of our meetings to discuss the case and he never had any time constraints as well as field questions from our family. During these discussions Peter talked to us as if we were family or good friends; the level of compassion he exudes was very important to us, because it renewed our faith in humanity. Although this was a job for Peter, by my estimation we did not pay him enough. We make that determination base on the time he invested and the success he brought to my case. If the outcome of my case was unfavorable, even with the disappointment of knowing truth did not prevail, my fiance and I know in our hearts we received the best representation possible. Thanks to Peter we are able to close our eyes at nights and rest peacefully without any fear of a prison term hanging over our heads. Peter Billings is more than a top notch attorney; he is a good friend, a humanitarian, and a man of honor, who we would highly recommend for any criminal defense case. To quote Peter, "I am a criminal lawyer and I work hard at my job" and he never faltered in proving this through his tireless effort in his handling of my case. We will forever be grateful to Peter and now I feel I owe him my life.

An absolute A 1 lawyer

I cannot possibly find the words to describe the service that Peter Billings afforded my daughter-in-law, my son and for that matter my entire family. I am truly appreciative of all he has done including the extra effort he extended during this case. Peter took on the child negligent/ abuse case agai...nst my daughter-in-law after two other lawyers practically provided zero help while encouraging her to accept a plea deal involving prison time even though she was innocent. Peter took the case and hit the ground running and never stopped until the case was dropped. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field; he is timely, shows passion and great responsibility to his clients and the work he does and continues to do. He has gone above and beyond his scope of duty to assist us in every way possible and he is even open to suggestions. We never felt rushed in any meetings, while discussing the case, and whenever he provided information about the case he omitted nothing and his explanations were always crystal clear. Peter Billings was worth far more than he charged, and he never made us feel as if it was about the money. He exemplifies the title of a great lawyer and a wonderful person. We will forever be grateful to him. If you want the best possible chance of good representation, I highly recommend Peter Billings for any case you might have, because I know with certainty even if the case is not in his area of expertise he will make a great recommendation for you.
