Client Testimonials

We were extremely impressed with Peck Ritchey's representation of us in complex litigation involving contested deeds, powers of attorney, and hundreds of acres of family farmland. Kerry Peck and Jesse Footlik were steadfast in their commitment to winning our case, which ultimately resulted in a tremendous settlement for us. Although our case was located in 'downstate' Illinois, Kerry and Jesse's timely and thorough communication made us feel like their office was right next door. We could not be more pleased with their services and the outcome of our case.
