Peter is an amazing attorney! He is very knowledgeable and has a great deal of experience which is comforting knowing that he knows the best way to handle your case. He does a great job at explaining processes and always wants to make sure that you understand and to make sure you know that your voice and opinions matter. He is also very understanding. He is honest and straightforward about your case but goes about it in a very compassionate and caring way. I have never felt that he was in it just for the money. He is not that kind of attorney, but Peter really shows that he cares about the outcome for you. I would never use another attorney to handle a case like this for me other than Peter and his incredible team.

I have known Peter Basile, not on a professional level, for over twenty years. Two years ago and in need of legal assistance, I did not want to trouble him with my small case. I sought counsel elsewhere and wound up in a contract with an attorney who was not serving my interests. In futility, I contacted Peter, who promptly set about extricating me from my jam. I had already known Peter to be a compassionate and decent man. On a professional level, I have found him to be a persistent fighter for justice who employs his acumen toward making certain his client is compensated and made completely whole. He is a trustworthy and tireless advocate. This is the man to turn to when one is in trouble. Thank you Pete!

Mr. Basile represented me one of the Auto Injury litigation filed against me. Mr. Basile is best when it comes to explaining the situation and working things out for you. He was able to have the case mediated and get the matter settled within a few months. Mr. Basile is knowledgeable, very patient and capable of handling difficult situations. Pretty good at negotiations too! 100% recommend Mr. Basile.

Peter is truly a master at his craft. In him I see someone that takes pride in his work. he exemplifies top line skills coupled with an impeccable work ethic, and it makes for a top notch attorney. It is always an amazing combination. Peter is a gem as an attorney and as a human being. I’d hate to be opposing him especially in negotiations as his intuition is scary. If anyone needs an attorney, Peter is your guy. he gives other lawyers a standard to work up to. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the result Peter got for me.
