NYC Gun Laws

We had a case due some different laws for New York state and the city. Living 3ooo miles away and many trips back to the city Peter was great. Always there and always on time and very helpful. Great knowledge and knows the system. Found him through the NRA. A Very very good lawyer to have your side. ...Got everything done in a timely manner. Got issues with the gun laws in the city give Peter's office a call.

6-point speeding ticket reduced to a zero-point parking ticket!

I used Peter Tilem and Associates for representation in a speeding ticket case. I was driving in upstate NY at 80 mph in a 55 mph zone which carries 6 point penalty. They exceeded my expectations and reduced that speeding ticket to a zero-point parking violation! It was a smooth process and the s...taff did a good job answering and following up on all my concerns. I did not have to appear in court. One of the associates communicated with me throughout the whole process, so it was easy to get a quote, sign-up and to follow up on everything without spending a lot of time to reach the lawyer. The fee was very reasonable (I called several lawyers before signing up). Do not hesitate to use them, the fee that they charged was worth every penny

Above and beyond the call of duty—FULL DISMISSAL

Mr. Tilem was courteous, hardworking, early to appointments, (yes) caring, and honest. His office always responded to my questions in a timely fashion. I had a case related to possession of a loaded magazine, with the number of rounds over the NY limit. The judge I was originally assigned to was... unreasonable and even hostile. Mr. Tilem was able to have the case moved to another judge. I paid a fixed fee for my case, but the first judge caused the number of billable hours to go above the anticipated hours by several times. At my court appearance, the court misplaced my paperwork and we waited for three hours. Despite this, Mr. Tilem didn't charge me extra. Final result? Mr. Tilem got my case dismissed. Mr. Tilem goes against the negative stereotypes of lawyers. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Peter Tilem. Thank you, Peter!!!

Great representation with a very good outcome.

Pete and his associate Jasmine Hernandez represented my brother in a felony case related to a domestic situation. It was a very difficult situation for my brother and the entire family but we found Pete and Jasmine to be supportive, knowledgeable and they negotiated a very good plea bargain which ke...pt my brother out of jail - something we were initially told was next to impossible. He took the time to explain all options and the possible outcomes and we were confident that we made the right decision. Through the process the attorneys were professional and prepared at all the hearings. Pete was honest and direct when he needed to be and through the entire process we felt we had great representation from a respected attorney.
