I found myself in a situation where I was accused of something that I did not do, and was put in jail because of it. I was in shock and frightened about the charges and what was to come. I found Mr. Aiken, and I read his biography and immediately called him (even on a Sunday) - he listened to me, put me at ease and for the first time after the arrest I felt that the frivolous charges would be absolved and I would be able to continue with my life. I was right: Mr. Aiken tirelessly defended me and showed that all the lies and made-up stories were false, and the charges were dismissed before arraignment. If you find yourself in a situation, no matter how large or small, call this attorney because he will help you like he helped me, even on the weekend. Thank you again, Mr. Aiken.

Mr. Aiken's knowledge and background of the law and his determination to see justice on my behalf, resulted in a positive outcome for my case. He makes himself accessible pretty much 24/7 with us having conversations several times on weekends and late night. His advice and reliability were spot on during a dark time when my self direction was not clear.

I consulted Pete back in March of 2019 and then hired him for my legal matters after my arrest. My Destructive Device felony allegation ended up Nolle Prosequi and my VOP case was dismissed. His background as a former federal agent and former federal prosecutor involving weapons offenses, as well as his dedication, is why I chose him to handle my case. Very good fit.

I would like to start out by saying Mr. Aiken is a great guy and his legal ability in top notch!
I was facing an accusation of rape (sexual battery) by a co-worker after getting together one evening after work.
After being served with a warrant at my residence by two Sheriff Deputy's for the collection of my DNA, I started doing extensive research for the best criminal defense lawyer. I narrowed down the search to four lawyers in the Sarasota/Bradenton area and two lawyers in the Tampa Bay area. After my research was completed, I met with and interviewed all of the lawyers. Due to Mr. Aiken's background as a federal agent, federal prosecutor and criminal defense experience and my gut feeling, it was a no brainier "I hired Mr. Aiken"!
He executed a detailed plan right away. What he told me needed to be done he did, what he promised me he would give me he gave and most importantly he got my case dismissed before charges were filed!
I truly felt like he treated me like a family member opposed to just one of his clients. If you are facing a serious crime, you can feel confident in hiring Mr. Aiken!

ATTORNEY AIKEN IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PROFESSIONAL WITH THE LAW REGARDING SEXUAL ASSAULT. HE HELPED OUR SON DAVID GREATLY IN REPRESENTING HIM. WE HAD NUMEROUS FACE TO FACE MEETINGS WITH HIM IN HIS OFFICE WHERE HE EXPLAINED ALL TO US , THE PARENTS. HE IS VERY CARING AND UNDERSTANDING WITH FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH CRISIS. HE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO TALK TO EITHER IN OFFICE OR HIS PRIVATE CELL PHONE AND IF IN COURT ALWAYS RETURNS YOUR CALL AT THE END OF THE DAY. HE HAS BEST SECRETARY (KATHY) ALSO TO HELP/TALK TO AND ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS. WE HEARD FROM OTHERS HE WAS HIGHLY REGARDED BY OTHER LAWYERS, DISTRICT ATTORNEYS AND JUDGES. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SO THANKFUL WE MET AND HIRED MR. AIKEN AND APPRECIATE EVERYTHING HE DID FOR OUR SON AND US.

I called Mr. Aiken for a second opinion to a case I had pending a few months ago. Mr. Aiken was very courteous over the phone and professional. I've heard good things about him and wanted to leave a good review for his time he took with me.

Mr. Aiken was the best attorney for my situation and he always responded to my emails. He made it like I was his only client and even though I was a pain in the butt he got the job done and always responded to me. I would recommend this attorney if you need help with any criminal matter, he got the case dropped and saved my relationship with my children.

We were dealing with a serious legal situation that had a potentially bleak outcome for my son. Mr. Aiken stood out among the group of attorneys we'd spoken to. He was (is) knowledgeable, factual, direct and caring at the same time! His wonderful assistant, Cathy, was (is) also very helpful and supportive. I appreciated both Cathy's and Mr. Aiken's respect and sensitivity to the closeness of our family and our faith. Mr. Aiken took extra time to include me in communications, and when it was quiet (the legal system definitely takes time), I would find he was working behind the scenes in my son's best interest, often going above and beyond (such as meeting key people in person instead of just phone/email). His wisdom, hard work and smart delivery is a reason my son will be spending his future at home with his family, and we are so very thankful. He is an excellent and competent attorney as well as a genuine and quality person. Truly, if you want an attorney with expertise who is knowledgeable, smart in how aggressively he fights for you, and sincerely cares about the outcome, you will find Mr. Aiken is your best choice.

Peter Aiken is an attorney at the top of his game. He is very smart, clearly knows what he is doing, and is a consummate professional. Plus, he is also a good, decent, compassionate man. He represented my father in a sex crime case with two charges (sex crime cases are some of the hardest out there, by the way. Very often coming down to he said/she said with the onus on the accused to prove their innocence). The first charge against my father had a mandatory 15 year sentence in prison. My father was 85 years old at the time and that would have been equivalent to a death sentence for him. Because my father lives out of country, he was essentially denied bond leading up to the trial. Clearly, at 85 years old, jail is not the healthiest place to be. Because of this, not only did Mr. Aiken elegantly defend my father, but he kept the case moving very quickly. He went from arrest to trial in less than 6 months. If you know anything about the courts, this feat, in itself, is near miraculous. Mr. Aiken kept a full court press on the prosecutor throughout the entire experience. During the trial itself, she looked like an amateur next to Peter. The case was resolved with the jury choosing the second charge and the judge sentencing my father to 8 months in jail, with 6 months basically already served. From what I could tell, no sex crime charge is a slam dunk case. There is a lot of bias and stigma attached to even being accused of such a crime. With this being said, Mr. Aiken took a case that could have easily ended up with my father dying in jail and he secured his freedom in record time. To go from a felony charge with a mandatory 15 year sentence to a misdemeanor charge with an 8 month sentence was absolutely amazing. And, as amazing as it is, with hard work, great command of the law and a highly strategic mind, Peter almost made it look easy (though none of us really took a breath until the jury returned its verdict---because with a jury you just never know). From the start, Peter said jury selection was one of the most critical aspects of a trial like this. He not only aced that, he pretty much aced every move he made building up to the trial and in the courtroom itself. I give Peter Aiken my highest recommendation. He essentially saved my father's life. And, as I inferred earlier, he's also one heck of a nice guy. It is actually a pleasure to know him. He was more like a concerned member of our family or a close family friend, than simply the best attorney we could have possibly chosen. While he may not be the cheapest, his fees are reasonable considering his excellence, expertise and the results he delivers. If you or anyone you know is facing sex crime charges, and only the best will do, Peter Aiken should be your obvious choice. Incidentally, if Peter can get results like this with a sex crime, I would trust him regarding any serious criminal matter. I can't imagine you could find better representation than Mr. Peter Aiken.

Mr. Aiken is truly a seasoned and professional attorney. He helped and represented me through what I would consider the most trying time in my life. The results were amazing, especially considering the climate on campuses across the nation. I would recommend Mr. Aiken to anyone in need of representation and exceptionally competent, professional, caring counsel.
