Reviews for Peter
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Peter took my case after my first attorney dropped the case. Opposing counsel was someone known to file every motion imaginable regardless of facts and truth. Settling was not an option for the first 2 years with the other side as the terms were so outrageous. I had never been to court or anything like this divorce. Peter was highly recommended as one of the best litigators in town and certainly not afraid to go up against a "bulldog". What impressed me most about Peter is his ability to remember the smallest details even after working with me for 2 years. Great communicator with me and in the courtroom. He's not out to destroy the other parties life. He's there to help you find a reasonable solution. I am truly thankful that this man helped me through he hardest thing in my life. Thank you!
Peter has guided me through multiple full trials, depositions, and hearings in my highly litigated case. He is honest, direct, always precise and prepared. I have benefited from his experience and level headed guidance. Anyone seeking legal counsel would be fortunate to have Peter advocate for them.
I simply can't adequately express how impressed I was with Peter and his competent staff. I journeyed through a 6 year custody battle to earn basic parental rights and faced difficult odds but Peter worked tirelessly as my advocate and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Like any great attorney, he was completely honest with me throughout and tempered my expectations but as a result of his legal acumen, his prowess in the courtroom, and his dedication I have been restored to my children
Excellent in the court room with his demeanor and ability to instantly recall pertinent facts and details.
great with juvenile case!
