At Pettrey Law, PLC, every client’s story drives our commitment to meaningful legal representation. We recently received a heartfelt testimonial from Karriem H. His words captured the life-changing impact of steadfast defense and sincere advocacy:
“Kevin Pettrey should be viewed as one of the top attorneys in Virginia Beach! His professionalism and sincerity supersede all of his colleagues. From the very beginning, Kevin took my case and delivered excellent results. Better than you anticipated! This is the attorney that you need to fight your legal battles, because this guy gets the job done! I would recommend this firm to any and everyone for any and everything. I was facing twenty-five years in a penitentiary for a mistake I made on an application. Kevin presented it in a way that everybody understood, and I mean the judge, the Commonwealth attorney, the state trooper who charged me, and everyone else. No jail time; one of three counts was dismissed. The other two I received no jail time or fine. I only had to pay the court cost. When I say his representation is remarkable, that is an understatement, try him for yourself and you will be pleasantly pleased. I must say that man saved my life! Thanks again, Kevin, from the bottom of my heart! You're the best!!”
This testimonial comes from a challenging felony criminal defense case. Karriem faced daunting odds: twenty-five years behind bars for a mistake on an application. Instead of viewing him as a case number, our team treated him with respect and compassion. Understanding the real story behind the charge, Kevin Pettrey connected with Karriem as a person first and foremost.
Relationships Matter In and Out of the Courtroom
Results like these come from more than just knowing the law. They stem from building mutual respect with clients, law enforcement, and prosecutors. By building relationships with law enforcement and prosecutors, and not being afraid to pick up the phone and talk to them, we were able to get the right result. Even the State Trooper told the Judge this case did not need to have a jail sentence. Open, clear communication helped everyone see the facts from Karriem’s side leading to a just outcome.
At Pettrey Law, PLC, every client deserves clear guidance and genuine care. Our approach brings clarity to complex moments and we stand firmly beside people when they need support most. Karriem’s words reinforce our mission: defend each individual with compassion and resolve, never wavering from doing what’s right.
