Several years ago, while an investor in medical marijuana, our facilities were raided and several associates were indicted, facing up to a decade in prison. When the Judge kindly gave our "drug cartel conspiracy" no prison time, the US Attorney decided to challenge that by indicting me for fraud in my own personal telecommunications business, a career and industry I had successfully pursued since the 1980's. My family was traumatized. The Government was seeking 30 years to life in prison. Peter and his firm worked diligently with the prosecutor, holding several meetings in a valiant attempt to drop the charges. Peter left no stone unturned. In the end, he was able to mitigate the damages and find an acceptable compromise with the government, for less than 2 years. I thank Peter Lacny and the Datsopoulos MacDonald & Lind firm for protecting me and my family during that most traumatic and vulnerable period.

After our first conversation about my case, Peter showed a tenacity and work ethic that I am incredibly grateful for. Peter was recommended to me through another law firm and I am so glad that he was. Peter kept in constant contact with me, through whatever means necessary, over the year and a half legal process I went through. Each step of the way he thoroughly explained what was happening, how it could affect my case, and what his best recommendation was. The entire time I was confidant that Peter was solely looking out for my best interest. Through his guidance and hard work I believe I obtained the best outcome possible in my situation. With Peter's guidance we were able to have multiple felony charges dropped and plead to a misdemeanor charge. I highly recommend using him in any criminal defense situation; his work ethic and dedication to me as a client was as if he was fighting for his own family member.

From start to finish, Mr. Lacny was professional, diligent and secured a great result for me. He returned calls promptly, kept me in the loop with emails and made me feel like I was important and that my case mattered. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

Peter is a fantastic Lawyer. He was very professional and knowledgeable when handling my case. He really cares about his work and clients and was quickly available when needed and always able to answer any questions that I had. It was great having him by my side through such a difficult time and he is a pleasure to be around. He gets the results that you want to see. Operates an impeccable practice built on a foundation of integrity. I highly recommend his services.

Peter, has been helpful to me throughout the years. Whether the issue revolved around simple business advise or the unfortunate time (s) I needed his representation for a legal matter. Peter is bright, scholarly in legal matters and his ambitions are only superseced by his desire to put your interests first and formost. Peter is brilliant, sensitive, personable, astute, attentive and his expeditious when it comes to your time and well being. Peter thinks outside the box. Peter is a most trustworthy attorney who has helped me and continues to help me with complex legal matters. He is MENSA-smart. He is a very respectful gentleman and a serious person. The type of attorney you want on 'YOUR' side. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as attorney general one day.

Peter came into my life at a time when my world was turned upside down. I realized very quickly that he was someone who I could trust to have my best interest at hand. I was looking at a lot of time in federal prison and from day one Peter was very honest in letting my family and I know that the charges were very serious and I would end up doing some time but that he was going to do everything he could to ensure it would be the least amount of time possible. I feel like Peter went above and beyond fighting to get me the minimum amount of time possible. He answered all of our phone calls and met with us in person several times. He took so much time getting to know us and treated me like a person, not a criminal. I would recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges..

My family and I have worked with several attorneys in the past but none have provided what Peter has. His council is always sincere and honest while maintaining unwavering loyalty to his clients. With Peters trust and stryou rest assure knowing your representation will do whatever it takes. His reputation speaks for itself.

Peter Lacny not only worked extremely hard for me, but exceeded all of my expectations. He managed to accomplish everything I asked of him and did so in a timely fashion. His services proved to be affordable and well worth it. I was never billed for seemingly pointless "busy work" that you often see when attorney's work for you. I would recommend Peter Lacny above and beyond any attorney in the state of Montana hands down. Should I ever need legal services again, he'll be the first call I make!

Peter Lacny is professional, intelligent and is not intimidated by a difficult case. Peter offers solid advice when great results. Peter has a strong attention to detail which can make or break a difficult case. He understands how stressful and expensive this can be and always puts his clients first.

When I had been arrested I was being shipped to to Missoula to answer my indictment. I was informed by someone that became a paralegal in prison or to retain a paid lawyer because they wouldn't do anything more then file the standard motions. This man also told me how much time I would do before I even talked to a lawyer and he was right. So Peter was real cool and on the ball with everything at first, or so I thought. The easy going attitude appealed to me and when I asked questions he would answer with the laid back attitude like nothing was a big deal. This is my first major run I with the law by the way. So when I was going over some of my paper work over the next few months of my case I asked him why this or why that. He fed me some answers and i believed him because I was young and I didn't do my own home work. These are the things he could have helped me with and you can read it in the George Town journal if you question me. This was the 2013 edition I looked into when I was in prison. I asked about how the courts could use my childhood criminal history and I was told they can use anything that was held against me. However if it was contested I wouldn't have gone to a higher security prison or I would have probably had a better chance of not getting the high end of my guideline. I asked why the court was using both of my charges to give me more time was possible and the response was along the lines of...don't worry about it, they can do that. When I did my own research I found that what Peter said was not the case. One charge was dropped with prejudice which means they can't use it the way they did to boost the amount of time they gave me. They are allowed to in certain cases but my situation didn't fall into that particular category. Read the George Town journal on dropping charges with prejudice and you will know. My indictment came out a little over then a month before I got arrested. so I was arrested June 10th, I didn't see any paper work, no rights read to me, no one told me what I was charged with when I asked. Then I asked cops that took me to the station and they were baffled that I wasn't told my charges, so when I asked them to look it up they didn't understand the charge 'dangerous drugs' they never even heard of it! It's too ambiguous to just hold me for that. So I went to my arraignment 12 days later and when I requested my docket sheet I saw that I was 'arrested ' the day before my arraignment which makes no sense. I moved for extradition and then was arraigned again. The thing that really got me is that I didn't care about tying to appeal my case until I told my story to someone and he told me that it sounds messed up. I read the George Town journal and saw this stuff in particular and I was pissed because I asked Peter about these three things specifically!!! So my good friends sister pasted the bar and I wanted all my stuff shipped to her for her to check out and her lawyer friends. I told her about what I listed above. This was a little over a month before the year deadline for appeal. I told Peter which i shouldn't have but did ask him to ship her my files. I gave him her info and her mine. She tried to contact him and there was no reciprocation on peters side. A week after the year deadline for appeal I got a letter dated a day after the deadline asking if Peter should contact my friends sister.... Too late. So yes I'm a bit irritated I threw away 20,000 dollars or so I feel. But whatever, I messed up and now I'm out living life. I'm sure Peter had his reason for doing what he did but they obviously weren't in my favor and it's a bummer because I paid good money and thought he was more genuine then he turned out to be. Milt told me I could of got less time after I got sentenced without cooperation. I didn't believe him till after I read the George Town journal. Thanks milt. However, he didn't speak up when I got the high end and he guaranteed me I would get justice and the low end
