He did my boyfriend case and helped him beat his trial case last Tuesday. Mike is a great lawyer. He never gave up on my boyfriend, we love Mike for what he has done.

Very thankful I found Mr. Petro after a quick Google search. I was very scared, facing a possible felony case but he laid out realistic outcomes with strategies to beat my case, in the end, all charges dismissed! I'm very grateful and highly recommend him as he has 30+ years of experience that he'll use to represent you!! He also took the time to give friendly, personal advice which shows he does care about his clients in and out of the court room. Look no further, Mr. Petro is the lawyer you're looking for and need!!

He is the best! If I ever need a great attorney he will be my first call!

does anyone know how much he charges for post conviction let me know please, i heard alot of good things about this lawyer, and how helps alot in people situations and case.

Michael Has Been The Best Lawyer I Have Ever Met ! They Have Been Working With My Husband & I With His Gun Case At 26th For Almost A Year. Glad To Say, His Case Is Finally OVER ! Thanks Michael &’ Brooks You Two Are The BEST !

Mike is the best. If you ever need help with tax , mail or bank fraud he's your guy!

When it comes to finding a good defense attorney, Michael Petro is great, and he's friendly and compassionate. With all his years of experience in the profession, cases pertaining to state gun laws is one of his many areas of expertise. After my gun collection got confiscated by the Oak Park Police Department (it's a long story), I applied for my Firearms Owner Identification (FOID) card so that I could get the guns back from the police evidence room. Once I received my card in the mail, I called Oak Park PD to arrange a time to get my collection back, only to discover that I was being charged with possession of firearms without a FOID card (at the time of the confiscation). They had my entire collection as evidence, so the jig was up. The DA's office was ready to prosecute.

I was really scared and worried about possible jail time ... even prison time with all of the hysteria out there now days about the need for stronger gun control laws. But Attorney Petro worked out a brilliant deal with the DA's office so that the charges were reduced to nothing more than disorderly conduct, which is only a Class C misdemeanor in the State of Illinois. There was no jail time or probation. Moreover, he also arranged for me to receive a court order to get all of my guns back. Talking about dodging the bullet with an added bonus!

Attorney Petro's work was amazing, and his fees are very reasonable. I strongly recommend him for anyone in need of a good and very reliable criminal defense lawyer. MRegi

VETERAN APPROVED
I am so grateful for Mr. Petro and his staff(Brooke). They took on a federal violation involving a gun and domestic issue. Once retained my stress level dropped and I could sleep at night without the worry of going to prison. His 30 years of representing clients provided me with a solid, clear and worry free process. Mike Petro is the " guy" to call should you or your loved one gets arrested or involved with the Feds or any LEO. Veterans, if your in trouble, charged with a crime, or need legal help in Cook County, you MUST call Mike. I know what it feels like to go from a felony charge to case dismissed and expunged. Thank you Mike and Brooke.

I have been referring friends to Mike for over 20 years. In every case he has been able to come out with a very positive outcome. I recently used Mike for a problem I had. As usual Mike came through and got the case dismissed. His work ethic, experience, and down to earth mentality make him the best in the city. Mike is a true professional who values his clients and that shows up in his results. Thanks Mike.

My husband had the most complicated X felony case ever. We called a lot of attorneys but no one was able to help us. Michael Petro was the only one who agreed on to work on that case and he did awesome job. He was able to vacate all charges like my husband never ever had anything on his records. It was mission impossible, but we believed in him and he didn’t disappoint us. My husband and I are the luckiest family due to attorney M.Petro. Would highly recommend him! The price that he charged us was very reasonable for the job that he did. He is the only one that would do his best to help you in any situation no matter how hard it is.

Highly recommend this great honorable lawyer! Really helped us out in our tough situation!

Helped me stay with my family did the best he could. Highly recommend him. Great man with potential.

Excellent man very intelligent. Highly recommend him!

Micheal Petro was very Efficient did an extraordinary job! Thank you very much for your help! May God bless you and your family!

I was defended by Mike n Brook they are very great at what they do.I was fighting a gun charge looking at 6/30 yrs @85% we went all the way to trial and beat them ppl out and I thank Mike n Brook for doing there very best that day

Mike is that dude when it comes to beating cases he beat my brother cousin n homie cases when it comes to trial he made the police look really dumb

One of my friends recommended Mr Petro to me and to be frank I was kinda skeptical about retaining him. After talking with him and him being so truthful and realistic with me I felt I made the right decision. I would recommend “Ice Mike” to anyone looking for a subverb attorney that truly has your best interest at heart!! I was facing a gun felony charge not to mention I’m already a felon and walked away with a misdemeanor. Job well done & money well spent

Michael was honest and upfront with my Son about his case

Special Thanks to Mr. Michael Petro and Brooke for all the hard work and dedication provided by them during my felony case. Any questions/concerns I had were answered immediately, and I would highly recommend for anyone.

Unfortunately I can't give a negative !!! I called trying to inquire about a lawyer for my son . Obviously going through a stressful time & when my call was returned .. I was trying to tell them his situation & they were so RUDE !! He literally said "what are you trying to do ? seems like you are having a hard time getting a story out" Wow !! Obviously I was trying to hire a lawyer !! Isn't that what you do?? I don't think it would work if they can't communicate without being ignorant!!!

Mr. Petro is a great attorney. My family came to Petro cry for help. My older had been wrongfully accused in federal court. He assured us that it was going to be okay. With the help of Mr Petro and his attorney team, my brother was found not guilty in federal court. My brother was facing 2 charges and beat his case in front of a Ferber all jury. My family and I will forever be thankful and grateful for the help of Mr Petro on bringing my brother home after being incarcerated for almost a year. We appreciated all his hard work. He is a great attorney.

Mr. Petro beat my jury trial in front of Judge Tharp in Federal Court in Chicago. If you are in big trouble, call Mr. Petro and he will help!

My husband was facing two charges and spent almost a year in a federal prison after being wrongfully accused! With the help of Michael Petro, his charges were dropped and he was found NOT GUILTY in a trial VS the USA. Our family will forever be grateful for all of Mr. Petros hard work! Best lawyer ever 5 stars!

Hi sr Michael... how much is the rate$ are u charging for a case... like to appealing a case... if u can text I will appreciate..

Thank you Michael, you are definitely the BEST!!! Your knowledge and expertise is so obvious. You don’t merely see your clients as clients, but as family. Thank you again on behalf of my family, and so grateful on searching you through google; a blessing. God bless you Michael in everything that you do.

Michael, thanks for helping me and my family out!

Always so polite and comforting on the phone, which is definitely something you don't experience every day. He always knows what he is talking about and gets right to the point.

I really appreciate everything!

Michael, thank you so much for all of your advice. He went out of his way to help me and my family, always answers his phone personally, and is incredibly knowledgeable.

The absolute best in the business!

Mike won my gun case at 26th Street. I was under a lot of pressure cause I have a really good job. Basically, CPD pulled me over for no reason. I had to testify which was scary. But Mike explained everything so I knew what to expect. Mike's expensive but you can know he's going to fight from all angles.

Petro is a trial lawyer and a fighter. A trusted colleague. Very knowledgeable.

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.

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.

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!

Mike beat my case and i can go back to my job. Mike and Brooke were tremendously prepared for my trial. My 27 year job and pension were on the line. Thanks GOD for Mike and Brooke!

Much respect for Petro. Not only has he helped us with all our cases but he has treated us like family and thanks to him im a better man. Highly recommend.!!!

I work in a highly complex business environment and was impressed with how quickly Mr. Petro understood and responded to my needs . He is very knowledgeable, professional and his perspective brought about a very positive outcome to my situation. If you are in need of an attorney, I would highly recommend him.

Big Mike wins! I was facing a 9 year minimum. First, he vacated a previous conviction on a technicality so they couldn't use it against me. Then on my new case, he first won the Motion to Suppress. Then he won the trial. Truly amazing. I finally have my life back!

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!

Mr. Petro was wonderful he answered all my questions and he even went out of his way to take care of my legal hassle within a matter of minutes, he's a great Attorney. Thank you again

I am from Nigeria and Michael helped very much. He went to court and got my cases dismissed. I am glad I know Michael. He is the best lawyer I had in my life.

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.

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!

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 represented my Mother for three years. My Mother found herself in quite a mess for some things that happened a long time ago. My mother ended up indicted in Federal Court in Chicago. The prosecutor was trying to put my Mother in jail. Thanks to Mr. Petro, he was able to persuade a tough Judge to give her a sentence of probation yesterday. My whole family and my Mother are all grateful for Mr. Petro's hard work and skill and patience. Mr. Petro literally saved my Mom's life cause I know jail would have ruined. We will refer and recommend Mr. Petro to everybody and anybody. Mr. Petro is a great attorney!

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 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.

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.
