Hughly recommend.

I want to inform you, friends, that Denis won my case in court. Ura! I came to him from another lawyer (an American). With my past lawyer, I communicated through his assistant. She knew Russian. That lawyer lost my case. Denis is clever, cunning, grammatical concentrated, his tactics and the main abi...lity to present the material. The struggle for me began even in the break before the beginning of the hearing. About 20 minutes he communicated with the prosecutor outside the courtroom. It was a heated discussion, a dispute. My business was not easy. In my country I worked in the law enforcement system. It's great when you work with a lawyer, who is a specialist in his business. In my country for 15 years of practice, I saw the work of no lawyer. I can evaluate and analyze. Just to whom I would not go. He represents interests, as his own, values ​​his reputation. During the hearing, he kept the situation under control. He competently discussed the issues with the prosecutor and the judge. You know, many lawyers lack of arguments or the ability to adequately represent defense, compensate by excessive courtesy and fawning before the judges, prosecutors. Denis affirms his position positively, correctly and diplomatically. Do not wait for the situation to come to a standstill, and adjust everything on the spot and immediately. If someone else doubts and faces a choice, do not suffer. I was in this situation. So what? My first lawyer was zero. Pass yourself into the hands of Denis Petrе. English and Russian are his native languages. He has an iron grip, character, diplomacy, cunning, experience and energy. He cherishes the name and reputation. I shake your hand, dear lawyer Denis Petre

Highly recommend lawyer!

Mr. Denis Petre is very professional, respectful and talented lawyer. I had immigration court with him and I am 100% satisfied with his service. When I had preparation meetings with him before the court, I felt like I was speaking with a friend who was trying to help as much as possible. During the... court, he was well prepared and confident. He explained everything in details to me and patiently. I’m really grateful to have him defending for my case. I Highly recommend Mr. Denis Petre for immigration courts.

Excellent highly knowledgeable attorney

Mr. Petre is very proffesional , knowledgeable attorney with great interpersonal skills. I was very nervous about my case, however he reassured me and emotionally supported me throughout the process. He was perfectly prepared for any issue that might have came up and proceeded to reach a great result... in court. He is incredibly smart and experienced in dealing with even the hardest cases. I truly admire his interpersonal and communication skills and the ways in which he handles stressful situations. He is excellent in what he does and Im forever grateful that I had him by my side as my attorney! Thank you so much Mr. Petre, god bless you and your family.

Professional

Well before i start to write about his skills, first i want to say that he is very nice, emphatic and down to earth. Whenever i called him, i didnt feel that i am talking to an attorney but instead to a friend, relative or person who cares a lot and tries to help and support as much as he can. By the... way before Mr. Petre i had another Lawyer who messed up all my paperwork. My immigration case was so hard, i went through a lot in the last 6 years. On my hearing day, inside the courtroom in one moment i felt that everything is going against me but Mr Petre with his professional Law skills and knowledge put everything in place. If not having Mr Petre as an attorney on my side god forbid i dont even want to think what could happen. With all his efforts and knowledge, now me and my family are on path to US citizenship. Thanks you very much Mr. Petre me and my family will never forget you. I strongly recommend Mr. Petre to anyone who want to have one of the best lawyers in States, and good friend as well.
