Отличный юрист

Denis Petre самый лучший адвокат. Большое спасибо Денису за грамотную юридическую консультацию и поддержку, очень приятно было с ним работать. Денис хороший юрист, очень вежливый и дипломатичный человек. Приятно когда адвокат подходит с душой к своей работе. Человек работает на 101% и больше!!!! Бы...стро составил требуемые документы, консультация доступным языком. Он шёл до конца и никогда не бросал меня. Таких адвокатов и юристов очень мало в наше время! Да и вообще почти нет таких!!! Я выражаю ему огромную благодарность за проделанную работу! Советую всем обратиться именно к нему!!!!! Благодаря Денису мы выиграли дело в судебном заседании, было такое время суд длился почти 7 часов. Он до конца боролся. Денис проделал гигантскую работу в суде, проявив на всех этапах высочайший профессионализм и потрясающую адвокатскую интуицию, основанную на многолетнем опыте и умении вникать в мельчайшие детали дела. Отдельно хочу отметить высокую порядочность, честность и уникальную работоспособность Дениса, его умение психологически поддержать подзащитного в сложный период жизни, при этом Денис никогда не даёт пустых обещаний и не вводит в заблуждение, обещая 100% успех. Он много и кропотливо работает, умело просчитывает все риски и выбирает единственный оптимальный путь в интересах подзащитного. Я подписываюсь под каждым словом и рекомендую Дениса, как надежного, порядочного и очень профессионального адвоката!!! Желаю Денису успехов в его нелегком, но очень нужном труде!Highly recommended!

Exceptional professional with great integrity who will represent for you like he will for himself

Denis provided me with the best possible result I could ask for. He was stunning and delivered 100%. There is no more that I could ask for. I had been referred to Denis by one of my friend’s senior lawyer, as the “ go to person for any immigration or criminal cases ” , he further mentioned that if he... ever gets in trouble, he would hire Denis. I realized why Denis had such a great personal reputation from people who knew him and from the avvo web page reviews only after I met him, hired and worked with him. I met him with regards to my case, he had asked me to explain my side of the story – he patiently listened and keenly took notes of each and every detail I offered, he never interrupted me, he was poised, composed, attentive and nonjudgmental through the entire process and after I was done, he asked pertinent questions and systematically went through the next steps and my expectations of the case. At the end of our initial meeting, I had a sigh of relief and personal gratification, thanked god that I had indeed come to the right place. He regularly updated me with the proceedings of the case and checked on me to make sure that I am doing fine, and did so until the day we had our final disposition ( which was the best possible outcome ). He also extends me service outside of the contract as a courtesy and continues to take care of it in the best possible way he can. I am truly grateful for the timely help, service and counsel that you have rendered. Based on my personal experience with Denis, I affirm all of the avvo reviews to be legitimate of him and I outright endorse him with the highest recommendations possible. If you are seeking legal counsel in his areas of expertise, I would ask you to think no further and head straight to his office for an appointment, I am rest assured that you will have a memorable and pleasant experience with exceptional outcomes, that you would forget the awful nature of the troubles, that brought you to his office in the first place. Denis is thorough with his client’s case details, he is very knowledgeable, he has comprehended the system very well and knows how it works and how to work with it. Some of these attributes might be shared by the outstanding lawyers of this country but Denis outshines, stands unique and tall with his humility, integrity, character and respect that he has for his client , that which emanates out of his work is apparent and results in pure brilliance.

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
