Our listed ‘services for lawyers’ include just a few of the most commonly requested services we provide lawyers across the country. If you have a criminal or animal law question—chances are, our team can help.

Lead Counsel at Sankoff Criminal Law, Peter Sankoff, is one of the country’s leading experts in criminal evidence and a prominent animal law advocate. Peter has spent over two decades teaching and mentoring law students and lawyers.

Criminal law is complex and constantly evolving—making it difficult to keep up even in the areas we are most comfortable with. Lawyers—both new and experienced—are routinely exposed to complex and novel questions. A deep understanding of both the academic and practical application of the law enables Peter to effectively provide guidance to others on complex matters.

Sometimes just twenty to thirty minutes with Peter is enough to change your entire perspective on a case. With enough notice, he can answer questions you have right from the courthouse, and usually assess your problem with speed and alacrity. Get “the Prof” on your side of an argument when you need him most.


Peter Sankoff is available on an hourly basis to discuss questions of strategy, evidence, or any other matter. To book a consultation, please contact us.
