Posted by Anna | June 09, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Great Job!

He has handled two traffic tickets for me and both times he got them dismissed. I am very happy with his work and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer for traffic violations.

Great job TWICE!

I have hired this firm twice for traffic "situations" Both times the cases were resolved as promised to my great satisfaction, one time the result was way better than I had been promised. They definitely know what they are doing and for sure know their way around the NY Courts, both big and small. ...I work in the legal field and am a lawyer. I know lawyers, you should hire this firm for sure if you have a motor vehicle matter of any kind.

Posted by Jake | November 24, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

A powerhouse.

Peter Tilem is hands down the attorney you want in your corner. His years spent in the Manhattan DAs office uniquely qualified him as a defense attorney who knows the system and how to navigate it in order to win your case. He knows the law inside and out, makes himself available, thoroughly expl...ains everything, but most importantly, is a gladiator in the arena. I got the sense that he really was in my camp, 100%, like I was even a relative of his. He put his heart and mind into winning my case, and we won. If you hire him, rest assured, that his discipline and diligence will do the same for you.

Revoked Pistol License

Counselor. Peter H Tilem is a excellent lawyer who fought for my pistol license appeal which was revoked by the police department and then overturn by a judge in my favor. I, the client, Raul Rodriguez could ounce again reapply for my pistol license because of counselor Tilem and his team for there s...kills (verbal disputes) in law. Yes, I recommend, Counselor, Peter H. Tilem on your side when it comes to defending your rights for a license fire arm. Thank you.

NY State Overweight Fine - Full Dismissal!

Peter handled an unusual overweight fine for a large load my company was handling. Long story short, on a technical issue the DOT voided our permit and then fined us as if we had NO permit at all. They wrote a ticket in excess of $20,000.00. We were hopeful that Peter could get the ticket knocked do...wn to a reasonable amount. He did even better and got it completely dismissed. Great Job!
