Outstanding Legal Consul

Mr. Petrakis is an excellent criminal defense attorney. I am a senior on disability and was falsely charged by the Cary Illinois Police Department with several domestic felonies and misdemeanors. At the end of my bench trial, my judge was fair and not biased. With the excellent consul that Mr Petraki...s provided, I was able to retain my freedom and was found not guilty on all counts. I highly recommend Mr. Petrakis.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked on several matters with attorney Peter Petrakis and may personally attest his profoundly developed knowledge of criminal defense law. His practice experience, enhanced by prior work as a State Attorney of Cook County, makes a tremendous difference in a criminal case as Peter attentively analyzes each segment of the case and selects the best strategy for handling the matter. I highly recommend Peter Petrakis as one of the best DUI defense attorneys in the area. Attorney Alexander Ivakhnenko"
