The Petkovich Law Firm is rooted in the practice of state and federal criminal defense. We represent clients pre and post-arrest for offenses ranging from DUI to Drug Trafficking to Murder. We focus extensively on white collar crimes; most notably, Medicare Fraud and Conspiracy, but also, on other paper intensive and scheme oriented offenses like Mortgage and Body Shop Fraud. Our investigative skills are an asset to anyone accused of a crime. Our no-stone-unturned approach to trial preparation is crucial regardless of severity. Our experience further extends to family law matters involving Dissolution of Marriage, Paternity, Custody and Child Support.

Our Founder's 40+ jury trials and hundreds of hours spent in court advocating for her clients led us to the litigation intensive world of family law. While fighting for our clients is our number one priority, we likewise explore desired pretrial resolutions to their fullest extent. Oftentimes, the goal is to prepare for trial in order to avoid trial. Our Firm also represent clients dealing with immigration law issues. Not only can we assist with the Naturalization process but we likewise handle matters, among others, dealing with the Immigration Consequences of a Criminal Conviction, Family-Based Immigration, Employment-Based Immigration, and Removal & Deportation Defense.
