The best lawyer ever!

Mr. Wosnik got me through one of the hardest/roughest times of my life! This was my first time being in trouble with law enforcement. I was facing 4 misdemeanor charges that possibly could have sent me to jail for 4 years. When I first spoke with Mr. Wosnik he immediately caught my attention. Once I spoke with him I knew I had to hire him as my attorney. He took all my concerns into consideration & handled my case very well. He got my case resolved & it was done in a timely manner. Mr. Wosnik got me First Offender Probation under the First Offender Act & I’m highly satisfied! He is the best lawyer ever! He’s a very kind man, well mannered,& very respectful guy. If you need a good lawyer Mr. Wosnik is definitely your guy! He is awesome!!!

Great representative

Wow, what a great experience! It was fast, honest and easy. And I don’t live local and everything went so smooth. They responded to all of my emails quickly and my phone calls, explaining all the things that I was going through, why and the laws. I definitely would recommend this law firm! Definitely will come back if anything needed but hopefully not. Thank you for everything. No.

Traffic tickets

I had a bit of a problem with canceled insurance and registration. Should have gotten my license suspended, but Pete was able to get the tickets knocked down to “Rules of the road” violations. Saved my license!

Response from Peter Wosnik December 20, 2022

Thank you for the review, Zack! Glad we could you keep your license in an unfortunate situation.

whole another level of excellent

Peter has the rare touch of expertise behind whose solid defense I knew I was in the most trustworthy hands I could possibly be in. From the care and detail he conveyed during my first call, to the timely communication throughout, and to a very happy resolution which was carried out with the calmness of a true professional, I wouldn't think twice of hiring anyone else to represent me - because Peter's approach and problem solving is simply on another level of excellent. His kind and pleasant demeanor likely won over every communication he had with the court system actors including the judge, but ultimately it was the creativity and effectiveness of his solution that caused full dismissal.

Wosnik Law

After 2 years with a highly recommended law firm that spent more of their resources on billing me than to actually settle my case, I decided to look for a replacement that I felt I could trust. Mr. Wosnik took over my case and worked to get it resolved from the beginning. He has proven to be the only attorney that I feel that I can trust to work in my best interest and not his own. I look forward to a continued relationship with his firm and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality, legal representation.

Highly recommended

I hired Pete in a last minute situation for my case. We had 3 days from the time I hired him until my court date. He acted quickly and aggressively. By the second day as my attorney, he had everything settled for me. He was able to get me a great outcome without even having to go before a judge. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Excellent!

There are no words that can describe our gratitude and appreciation for what Mr. Wosnik did to help our family during a very difficult time. He, and his paralegal are professional, empathetic and extremely efficient. When they say they are going to do something, you can count on it! I pray that we never need legal services again, but if we do, we will most certainly call Mr. Wosnik. Thank you so much! God bless!

freedom at a fair price!

mr. Wosnik fought the good fight during this uncertain time of the Corona virus. I was worried I'd be stuck in jail for some time. my new charges and felony probation violation hung heavy on my shoulders. mr. Wosnik made it possible for me to be released from jail and accepted into a program. now I'm spending precious time with my family rather than away from them. this wouldn't have been possible with out mr. Wosnik expertise. thank you for all you did for me and my family.

The Laughlin family.

Mr. Wosnik helped us keep our family together. If it wasnt for Mr. Wosnik the government would have railroaded me and my family. As our attorney he defended our constitutional rights and as a person he went the extra mile to even come to our home and also was reachable even after hours.

Your case was one of the highlights of my career so far - thank you so much for the opportunity to represent you!

Retroactive first offender

I hired Pete to change a guilty plea to retroactive first offenders. From the very first time I met with Pete, he explained every possible outcome that could happen. I pled guilty to a possession of cocaine charge 12 years ago without the knowledge of what that would mean and what a detrimental effect it would have on my life. I was not informed about first offenders at that time. Pete was very thorough, and he suggested that I present all mitigating factors, including character reference letters before the motion was even filed. He kept in contact with me through the whole process, and my guilty plea was changed to retroactive first offenders. I highly recommend Pete!!
