I strongly recommend Mr. Paul Petrus, NYC Criminal Attorney. He has an experience of more than two decades so he is familiar with all the local court system. He is a great listener and always looks for the best interests of his clients. He explained every step of my case in detail which made me feel and breathe a little easier.I could not have found myself in better hands.

A family member got in trouble with the law by posting a joke on SnapChat and having the bad luck to have someone take a screen snapshot of it and report it widely. Paul handled his defense beautifully. He pursued all avenues for mediation and dismissal, and eventually found an alternative to detention that satisfied the judge and actually helped this family member grow as a person. At times it was a very rocky road, but Paul never stopped his advocacy and was able to use his empathy and compassion to work with his client.

Paul is an excellent criminal defense attorney and an all around good guy. I’ve known Paul for many years and if a family member of mine was in trouble, I wouldn’t hesitate to call Paul. He is a tenacious advocate in and out of the courtroom and you’ll be glad to have him on your side.

The charge was a serious white-collar fraud and my career and reputation were at stake. At my friend’s recommendation, I hired attorney Paul D. Petrus Jr. He reassured me in our first meeting. It was long meeting and tiring one. He tried to put me at ease. But I was too tense. A few meetings later, I started believing that he could me out of the trouble. Whenever I called or mailed him, he replied promptly. When he was busy, his staff kept me informed. I can tell you, he has a great team. They k

You are not only a client in the Law Office of Paul D. Petrus, Jr. They treat you with warmth and support when you need them the most, in the hours when you are facing some serious criminal charges and people, including your friends and family members, start doubting your innocence. I believe in God and attorney Petrus that I will get justice.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
