I was very fortunate to have Peter as my attorney. He explained the process, what was going to happen, and kept me informed though every step. Peter is a great person and did a great job on my case.
Fast forward, I was framed by a vengeful and spiteful family member that acted as a “witness” that did not tell the complete story to the police and was charged with a misdemeanor for something so minor that I didn’t even do, I was so upset and frightened because I’d never thought I’d be in this situation, I’m a good citizen and stay far away from these things, the police is stupid and incompetent just a big ego that’s all and they don’t hear all, the San Joaquin DA sucks, they all need to get sued, they will charge such minor “crimes” and not focus on big ones, they don’t do thorough investigations, even after the “victim” repeatedly advised them in writing that there should be no charges and no complaint and explained why, the DA still did not listen, they literally filed the complaint shortly after the arrest which makes me think they didn’t do a thorough investigation. This is why our county sucks, we have incompetent people working at the DA office, they also seem racist to certain names or ethnicities. Peter helped me so much to clear my name for something I didn’t even do, thank you, a great man. I’ve never been framed for a “crime” before but you can meet crazy people in your life that can do that to you, so stay in good company, I never thought a family member would do this to me, you don’t call the police on family unless it’s extreme, this was so trivial. He’s the man to call. Once they saw who was representing me, the case resolved very quickly, who’s representing you matters. Peter is a former DA, he knows their language. He’s the best attorney in the state, it’s incredible, he’s the defense and the prosecution.
Peter gave me a clear perspective on how the case would move forward, given he has prosecution experience he made it clear what if any info would be needed for the prosecution to make a legitimate case in court . He described what to expect very well and the DA ended up not pressing charges and dropping the case. Definitely worth the time.
Peter Marek is great! Im glad i was fortunate to have him help me with my case. The outcome was better then expected
I believe in good character I believe the world needs more kindness with lots of knowledge and awareness!! This Man has the idea of this, he doesn’t hold back when it comes to his clients 💯
If you are worried about staying free this is your guy .. all charges dismissed! He told me what he was going to do, what they were going to say back and how he was going to handle it and everything happened EXACTLY how he said it would. He made a bad experience as painless as possible.
I was very fortunate to have Peter as my attorney. He is a good man and a highly competent lawyer who cares about his clients. Peter gave me back my innocence through a difficult legal maneuver, cleaned up my record, and put me back on track professionally. He showed up proactively in my life and teamed up with another skilled attorney to negotiate a successful settlement. I am incredibly happy with his work!
Exceptional!! Peter did absolutely everything he said he would. He hates losing and he means that. He kept me calm throughout the entire process, he was professional and communicated exceptionally. He is a very busy man, rightfully so, and still made time anytime I called or texted. Hopefully I never have to see him again, but he would be the first person I called if ever in trouble again (he also has a great sense of humor) THANK YOU PETER and God Bless!
Peter is amazing. He took over my case when the attorney I hired had to have surgery. I can honestly say that Peter genuinely cares, which is probably one of the most important traits an attorney could have. He commanded the courtroom every time we were in there, and he negotiated the absolute best possible outcome I could have asked for. I highly recommend Peter. He is the ultimate professional!
