Wonderful Attorney

Attorney Pecherek is knowledgeable and really paid attention to my needs. He knew just what to do for my will and trust and powers of attorney. I feel confident that my estate will be dealt with in exactly the manner I intend.

Trusted Lawyer

George Pecherek has been our family attorney for the past 30 years. As our family has grown and our needs have changed due to the acquisition of assets, he has provided invaluable guidance in updating our estate plan to meet our needs both now and in the future. He always presents all the options and... answers all our questions with patience. He is thorough, knowledgeable and demonstrates a genuine concern for the people he serves. We have been so pleased that we have referred several family members to the practice who all have been equally impressed. I cannot imagine trusting anyone else with issues that are particularly sensitive, and it is peace of mind knowing we have all the necessary documents needed to handle a potential crisis situation (death, disability, illness) should it occur.

He won't work for you.

I had him as my divorce lawyer. I file case against my wife and she had no lawyer at the time. He approached her and told her to get a lawyer. After she hired a lawyer that both of the two guys they were working and talking behind our backs. We had a easy case but he dragged the divorce for months. I...f you have divorce try to settle this outside of the court I will cost you money.

Divorce is never pleasant and generally takes longer than you'd expect. Attorneys can be polite to each other and still represent their respective clients zealously.

Not a good choice for a lawyer.

I hired Mr. Pecherek as my divorce attorney in 2009. He was not dependable for showing up in court especially when the judge expected him to clarify his errors. He did not keep me informed and made numerous toxic errors to my divorce case. As a result I had to hire another attorney. Errors includ...ed but were not limited to: entering wrong names of banks, amounts of money and number for the Safe Deposit Box in the court papers. He froze the access to a Safe Deposit Box for one name while two were listed on the account and allowed my ex-spouse to empty it along with all other accounts before any inventory was scheduled. Mr. Pecherek misrepresented my interest and without any prior consultation with me, rejected an offer related to the house sale. As a result I lost my life savings and was left without a roof over my head. While knowing that I was a victim of a Domestic Battery, Mr. Pecherek did nothing to protect me. After being assaulted and battered by my husband during the course of divorce, I had to file the Order of protection on my own. I do not recommend hiring this attorney.

DO NOT PICK THIS LAWYER

Anybody does not want this lawyer to represent him - trust me. The only thing he does good is soaking up your wallet like a leech. He left the case without no excuses. Before he left he wanted 1200$ just how he said ,, this money will be to make me work better "(my husband was paying him and he wante...d money from me?!) otherwise ,, I will leave the case " I paid him and I got papers from him about his withdrawal. Is this a real lawyer? In my opinion NO.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
