Not Guilty !!!
Trey Pettlon was referred to me by another lawyer . I was falsely accused of assault by the mother of my daughter because she was hoping to get leverage in our custody case in domestic court. If convicted I would have lost significant amount of parenting time with my daughter and ,the worse of all ,...

Needing a defense attorney can be scary and stressful. I feel very fortunate that I ended up working with Trey Pettlon. He was always proffesional and I was very happy with the outcome. Trey was always willing to take time to explain what was going on every step of the way with my case which made me ...
"Trey is a fantastic attorney whom I have known since 1991. He is passionate about his clients' cases, appropriately aggressive with opponents, and rock solid on the law and the facts of each case. Trey knows the prosecutors and judges on both sides of the state line, which helps him build credibility with the people who can influence the outcome of cases. I enjoy working with him on co-defendant cases because he challenges everyone involved to push hard for great outcomes, which is what we have gotten for our clients. I have no reservations in endorsing Trey."
"Trey is simply one of the best. He has a great balance of all the essential qualities for a great lawyer: tenacity, legal knowledge, relationships with the judges and prosecutors, great skill and experience, all coupled with a excellent demeanor. I 100% endorse Trey."
"Highly respected attorney with years of experience helping those who need the most help. Unique in his ability to resolve the most difficult and controversial cases with aplomb."
"Mr. Pettlon is the lawyer that other lawyers will turn to in time of need. This is high praise and it is probably universally the opinion of any member of the Bench or the Bar Association familiar with his work. I have known him for twenty-seven years and have consulted with him on numerous occasions. His ethics are beyond reproach but the thing that separates him is trial experience. For years I kept and reported trial statistics for the Bar Association in one of the larger metropolitan counties where Mr. Pettlon frequently tried cases. His results for his criminal clients were outstanding. Numerous and frequent “not guilty” verdicts in that jurisdiction stand as evidence of his trial skills. I am always amazed when people fail to verify their lawyer's trial experience. While someone has to be a lawyer's "first client," in any particular type of case a "Pettlon client," can rest assured his lawyer has, "been there, done that," many times before."
"I would highly recommend Trey as an attorney. He has a tremendous wealth of experience and talent in the legal field. I have personally seen him achieve numerous acquittals for his clients in criminal defense, as well as large verdicts and settlements for his clients in personal injury and wrongful death cases."
"I, without hesitation, endorse Trey. Trey is a true professional and an aggressive advocate for his clients. He is well-respected amongst his legal peers. I have nothing but respect for Trey and have consulted with him over the years on a variety of legal issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. Trey Pettlon is an aggressive attorney who has respect from fellow lawyers and from the bench."
"I endorse this lawyer for his expertise and involvement in the law community."
