About this firm

Peck Ritchey, LLC is a Chicago law firm concentrating on estate, trust, and probate litigation, representing clients across Illinois in will contests, trust disputes, fiduciary breaches, heirship disputes, and contested guardianships. With over 100 years of combined courtroom experience, the firm has obtained a reputation for great results in contested estates and handling volatile, high-value disputes. Managing partner Kerry Peck, described by Leading Lawyers Magazine as “Chicago’s go-to probate lawyer”, was appointed by the Illinois Supreme Court to chair its Commission on Elder Law. Timothy Ritchey was voted as a top 100 lawyer in the state of Illinois by his peers, has served as a Special Assistant Attorney General, appointed by the Governor, in complex healthcare and disability matters, and has written and testified in Springfield on laws relating to financial exploitation of the elderly and disabled. Brandon Peck was a contributor to the book Alzheimer’s and the Law, which was published by the American Bar Association in 2013, and is an active member of the Chicago Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section, for which he served as the Chair of the Section from 2018-2019. The firm’s attorneys are also contributors to leading legal treatises on will contests and guardianship litigation, and are consistently recognized by Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, and Rising Stars. Known for aggressive courtroom advocacy, Peck Ritchey is called in to fight for individuals throughout Chicagoland, especially when the stakes are highest.
