Peter Barrett is a lawyer's lawyer - he's
the guy they call when the lawyer is in trouble.
Peter has been providing superior
representation to persons facing criminal charges since he graduated
from St. Mary's University School of Law in 1994. Whether you are
charged with a misdemeanor, such as Driving While Intoxicated, or a
felony, such as Delivery of Narcotics or Sex Crimes, criminal law is
complex and highly specialized. Peter's practice is solely limited
to the practice of criminal law. The possible consequences of a criminal
conviction are permanent and can negatively impact people for the rest
of their life. If you are charged with a criminal offense, you deserve
an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side.
Peter is an
experienced trial and appellate lawyer and has handled more than 1,000
criminal cases. Has acquitted numerous clients of serious
offenses, including persons charged with Murder, Manslaughter,
Aggravated Assault, Sexual Assault, Indecency with a Minor, Robbery,
Kidnapping, Burglary, Drug Offenses, Weapons Violations, DWI, Theft and
other White Collar Crimes. Complex criminal litigation of multiple
charges in state and federal court. In today's criminal justice system,
juries and judges both come to convict. An agressive criminal defense
lawyer who won't plea you out just for a quick buck, is what you
need.
