Hired Attorney Thomas J. Petrelli Jr.

My wife was terrible to me. She was stubborn and irrational. My lawyer was great. He stayed level headed when opposing lawyer and wife did not and when I did not and because of his demeanor and experience, we came out on top. Great communication throughout. I am recommending him and his team to everyone that has some money, some kids and needs a good litigation team.

Hired Attorney Thomas J. Petrelli Jr.

I used Tom Petrelli for my divorce. My wife was trying to really stick it to me and milk me for every dollar. Tom worked very fast, responded to every request, negotiated like a pit bull and was able to get a signed marital settlement agreement without a single court appearance. Now all that's left is filing the paperwork and I should be divorced in a month or two. Hooray!

Mr. Petrelli personally handled my case. The other lawyer, Albertine, helped out with one hearing too. I could not be happier with the outcome. They were very professional and gave great advice the whole way through. My divorce took about a year and I have already recommended them to someone I work with. Thank you!

Hired Attorney Ms. Leanne Cooper

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional assistance I received from attorneys Leanne Cooper and Joshua Huffman, as well as the paralegal Sierra Cox and Phillip at the front desk. Their dedication and expertise in handling my divorce case were remarkable. They approached the matter with strategic thinking, bold advocacy, and genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Despite the emotionally exhausting nature of the case, they provided unwavering support and did their utmost to keep costs manageable. I highly recommend their team to anyone in need of skilled and copassionate legal representation.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
