I'm delighted that I can without reservation endorse Peter Tilem's work in resolving my case successfully.

Peter and his staff were very attentive to all my needs....returning my phone calls....sitting down with me and listening to me (endlessly)....offering advice and walked me through the entire process. If I ever need an attorney again, I would definitely use Peter's firm. I would definitely recomm...end them to others.

Ecperience & Professional readiness is a must. Peter H TIlem has that and so much more.

Prior to contacting Peter I wasted a vital week attempting to call other attorneys. Who all said they would take the case then either never contacted me back after the screening or they would tell me they could take the case but reccomend finding someone more suitable for "such a serious crime". To... explain: I had just recently moved to NY State where my daughter instantly obtained a issue with an older man that need the Police to get involved in. Once we called the Police they came to our home to take a report. Once they ran my ID they noticed I was a gun owner and asked about the guns I owned. All of a sudden I was being arrested inside my own home, taken to jail & charge with a violent felony that had me facing 7 years in prison. My guns were all legally purchased and registered but NY State doesn't recognize any of registrations but their own. Once I found and called Peter I was instantly transferred to him where he took a brief description of what had occurred. Within a few more minutes he contacted me back to take a full description. I was given 2 weeks to prepare my case for court but Peter's knowledge and quick action turned it around to 2 month in order to prepare the documents he wanted ( which my household was still in disarray from the move) Not only did he assist me with getting the proper documents but also made sure I completely understood what was happening every step of the process. If I had a question for him it was merely minutes after my call he would contact back HIMSELF. He was not only able to get my charges reduced without jail time but also obtained documents for me to from the Prosecuting Attorney and Judge that neither had ever heard of. These documents made it possible for me to retain necessary legal clearance for work and the ability to make a simple misunderstanding on my part into just that. When the court system made me into an instant "violent criminal" although I had no prior arrest history. If you NEED an attorney that will look after your best interest and be 100% up to par on the ever changing NY State Gun Laws then Peter H Tilem is the man you want. His knowledge, experience and personal professionalism means everything!

Superior Representation

Prior to contacting Peter we had worked with two other lawyers on the same issue. One was unhelpful and the other seemed grossly incompetent. Peter was like a breath of fresh air. He was calm, he was reassuring, and has a keen understanding of the government under which he operated. We feel we were w...ell represented, with peter decisively on our side. The outcome was better than we had hoped for and we would not hesitate to use Peter in the future.

Saved me from a 6yr minimum felony.

i was facing a double felony after i severely misunderstood Ny's laws. i am a Pa resident. although i never met peter tilem face to face, he called, left voicemails, and made every attempt to keep me informed throughout the whole terrifying process. peter managed to build a case that favored me so... well that i ended up with a small fine and nothing more! the pricing was more then i anticipated, but well worth it, i am proof.

Exceptional Attorney

Peter Tilem was the best choice I have had made in years prior to the poor choices that lead to my criminal issues. Since a lot of my personal circumstances were very vague and I did not completely understand the law, it helped a great deal that Peter was my attorney. He explained my options; he kept... me informed at all times, he answered all of my questions, phone calls, and emails. During the tumultuous experience, Peter in some miraculous way made it more bearable. I am forever grateful for everything he and his staff have done to help me through the most difficult time in my life. If you are looking for an attorney who will truly help you and care about you, choose Tilem and Campbell. It will be the best decision you will make for yourself. Thank you, Peter! You will never be forgotten.
