I've had the pleasure of working with Tristan Pettit and his team on several matters involving property management and real estate, and they have been nothing short of exceptional.

Over the course of my career, I've worked with many attorneys, and Tristan's team stands out for their professionalism, responsiveness, and depth of knowledge. They have represented me on matters ranging from regulatory compliance questions and day-to-day property management issues to complex litigation.

What I appreciate most is that I never have to educate them on the law or the industry. Unlike some attorneys I've worked with in the past, Tristan and his team understand property management and real estate inside and out. They don't just answer my questions—they explain the legal reasoning behind their recommendations, outline my options, and provide practical guidance that allows me to make informed business decisions.

Whether I need a quick compliance question answered or representation in a complex legal matter, I know I can count on them to respond promptly and provide thoughtful, well-researched advice.

I cannot recommend Tristan Pettit and his team highly enough. They have become my first call for any real estate or property management legal issue, and I have complete confidence in their ability to protect both my business and my clients.

I would like you to know how satisfied and pleased I am with David Espin. David represented me on a tenant complaint that was quite protracted. He was confident in our case but not overly confident. He did a very good job at the hearing with his arguments and questions. One of his strengths was to keep in touch with me. I highly recommend David to any Landlord that receives a tenant complaint about Fair Housing.

We have been exclusively using Petrie & Pettit for ALL things related to landlord-tenant for the last 6 years. Quite frankly, while there are a lot of good options for legal counsel in Milwaukee, I'm not sure any of them possess the knowledge of landlord-tenant law that the attorneys at Petrie & Pettit have. We have even referred other attorneys to them. They are, in my opinion, the most well informed and successful attorneys we have worked with in real estate related transactions.
