About N. Trey Pettlon III

Trey is proud to have just been selected for the 14th year in a row to Super Lawyers in 2021. A Super Lawyer designation is reserved for only 5% of practicing attorneys who have "attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional development." Trey was also selected for "Nation's Top One-Percent" by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel for the second year in a row.

Since 1991 Trey has been in court almost five days a week defending people charged with crimes and representing families of people who have been injured or killed as a result of the negligence of another.

Criminal Defense:

Trey has tried and won numerous jury trials involving serious criminal charges, significant personal injury and wrongful death. Trey has won numerous "Not Guilty" jury verdicts in criminal cases over the years including acquittals for clients charged with rape, sodomy, aggravated battery, domestic battery, sexual battery, attempted murder, DUI, felony DUI and felony theft. Trey's clients have included attorneys, professional athletes, police officers, nurses, doctors, professors and other professionals with a lot to lose.

Personal Injury/Wrongful Death:

People sometimes ask why it might be more effective to have an attorney who handles criminal defense and who has a prosecutor's background represent them in a personal injury or wrongful death case. The answer may not be obvious for those that don't find themselves in court frequently. The truth is that criminal defense lawyers and prosecutors are in court much more and have significantly more trial experience than most attorneys who just handle personal injury cases. Trey has won numerous wrongful death and personal injury jury trials in Kansas and Missouri and won significant verdicts for his clients including clients injured in car and truck accident cases. In addition to several jury verdicts, Trey has worked to gain tremendous settlements for his clients in numerous other cases.

Additional Info:

Trey is admitted to practice in Missouri, Kansas, the United States District Courts for Missouri and Kansas and the United States Supreme Court. He's tried jury trials in Kansas, Missouri and Federal Court. Trey will go wherever his clients need him and his cases have taken him all over the United States from Maine to California.

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.
