Client Reviews

  • Steven Thompson

    I am a small business owner and have used Petrie + Pettit for their legal expertise with everything from purchasing property to confidentiality agreements. They are very professional and knowledgeable and have earned my trust. They are my first call when I need legal advise.

  • Dawn Anastasi

    I worked with David Espin on a real estate issue and he was very helpful, took the time to answer my questions, and kept me informed along the way. I would definitely recommend Petrie + Pettit S.C.

  • James C. Brewer

    I worked with David Espin on a complex medium-sized commercial multifamily Seller Financing/Master Lease deal, and his professionalism, knowledge, and timeliness were absolutely impeccable.

    Highly recommended, David is a rockstar that gives you his undivided attention and hangs in there through contract revision after revision. He came in to a stalled deal after a few months and in a week drove it through to completion/closing. Its great feeling like you’ve got the better lawyer, thanks David!
