Geoffrey Petis

I feel Mr. Petis did all he could do for me. He got the case after I had received a settlement letter from my accident. He worked with my Dr. and the insurance company to try and get more of my expenses covered. We got a final offer that did not cover all my medical expenses. He worked with the D...r. and did not take any commission on the case to get my bills paid and give me a little for my time and discomfort. I appreciated that very much. I would definitely recommend him to others and use him again if the need would arise.

Petis review

I truly believe hiring petis was the best decision. Petis understands the complexity of the situation and the personal struggles. The only critique I have is imforming the client more often about the cases time line and progress throughout the process. I feel hiring petis as your representation is a ...wise decision because he is an ethical and honest attorney. If I had to refer someone I would recommend petis. Lastly, I would hire petis again, if I needed a personal injury lawyer.

"I endorse this lawyer.Mr. Petis was perhaps the greatest mentor a new attorney could ask for and was an inspiration in the study of law. As a practitioner, he is dedicated, knowledgeable and relentless in his pursuit for justice and equitability for his clients. I would recommend anyone to this attorney regardless of their issue. I am more than confident that Mr. Petis would either serve as the best representation available or, if the issue falls outside of his particular area of expertise, would take the extra steps to ensure that individual was pointed in the right direction and to the right person"
