I cannot put into words how enthused and gracious I after retaining Michael Petro. My situation was a tricky due to the complexity of the charge against me. The prosecution was standing firmly on their position and wanted a conviction. It took some precise and timely out of box thinking from Michael to soften up the prosecutions stance and ultimately get the exact result I was hoping for. In addition to getting the perfect result, I have to comment on the process. This whole thing was extremely embarrasing for me and very stressful. Michael was understanding, caring and never judgemental. Throughout the process, Michael would check in with me and answer any questions I had. I hope to never have to hire him again, but if a friend or family member was in need, I would strongly recommend Michael Petro. All the best!

Michael J. Petro represented me in the Federal District Court and 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago. I was in a tough situation for misrepresenting myself as a Federal Prosecutor. Needless to say, the whole system wanted to throw the book at me. Two times the Judge sentenced me to more than the statutory maximum. Michael J. Petro appealed both illegal sentences and won both times. Thanks to Mr. Petro, I am now back in the world. Michael J. Petro is a tough and smart attorney. He will stand by you in the hardest of times. I recommend attorney Michael J. Petro when you are in trouble.

Mr. Petro is the best lawyer. He beat my case at trial at 26th Street yesterday. 3 cops got up on the stand and lied about me being selling them some illegal narcotics. Mr. Petro went out and took pictures and proved them to liars on cross examination. I was looking at doing at doing 3 - 7 years. Now I am totally free to go back to college and be with my family. This is not the first time Mr. Petro has helped me get out of a jam Hire him and you will be good.

I was falsely arrested by CPD. They came busting into my house with a bogus search warrant. Knocked my mama down making her go to the hospital. I was studying for a test. I was arrested and held without bond. I hired attorney Michael J. Petro to get to the truth. Mr. Petro immediately got me a bond. Then we went into court and beat the case at preliminary hearing. Hallelujah! Mr. Petro did his job like always. Mr. Petro is the best attorney in Chicago!

Mr. Petro has been nothing but exceptional and amazing from the moment I met him. The circumstances were extremely stressful for me but he made himself available, at all hours of the night and was able to free me from being held in custody immediatly upon arrival. He went far and beyond to make sure I was well informed and was always kind and professional when answering my legal questions. Highly recommend Mr. Petro!

When I came to Michael J. Petro I felt very frustrated and taken advantage of. He talked me through the process of my situation and my experience was exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. He was very prompt in all correspondence and kept me informed every step of the way.

Michael is an overall excellent criminal defense attorney. He represented me in both a criminal trial and civil lawsuit against the city and was successful. His calm approach and logical nature puts his clients at ease. He explains all matters in a way that is easily understood. Highly recommended.

I was charged with a 3 major federal crime and was facing 14 years. Michael Petro represented me. His efforts lowered my time 63 months and I did not have to cooperate with the government. Thanks to Michael, I am now in the half-way house on may way to getting back with my family full time.

Petro did good by me. The Feds got me for a drug conspiracy and had my phones tapped. Petro did his job and broke it down by going thru my file real careful. Man I got probation and I was expecting to go down for a long while. You can use Petro if you got a Fed case and he does his job.

The Chicago Police arrested me for a warrant. At the station the police said I was wanted for a murder. My girlfriend called Mr. Petro and he came out to the 4th District right away. In the end, Mr. Petro was able to get me out of jail without being charged. For this I am grateful.

Ronnie Steppes

I was facing charges for Armed Violence and Possession of Ecstasy. I was facing 15 years minimum. After Mr. Petro fought a motion to suppress and trial. The Judge found me not guilty of Armed Violence. Thank you Mr. Petro for all the hard work.

Michael helped me so much. I am an old woman and I was really scared I was going to jail. Michael was really good explaining everything to Judge Gaughn. He is a 10 star lawyer!
