Hired Attorney Mr. Robert Peterson

I’m a tough critic & an anxious Mom through all of this, & I can say without hesitation that Rob Peterson is a rare gem. He is courageous, unwavering, & a true straight shooter—honest, transparent, & always acting with integrity. In my complex custody case involving my disabled child, the other side constantly threw out lies & distractions, but Rob stood firm, focused on the truth, and fought tirelessly for what mattered most. He believed in me when I was losing confidence, lifted the burden off my shoulders, & gave me the space to focus on my child—a gift that is truly priceless. His loyal & hardworking team—Tracey & Alley—went above & beyond with dedication & care. Together, they made me feel protected, respected, & genuinely cared for. Rob & his team are heroes in my book, & I would recommend them without hesitation.

Hired Attorney Mr. Robert Peterson

Rob Peterson will always be one of my life hero’s. He was such a good attorney and represented me well. My only regret is that I didn’t have him sooner. We went to court and he said everything that I would have wanted the judge to know. I finally felt protected when I had Rob on my side. I would highly recommend this guy.

Hired Attorney James B. Hanks

I simply thought he was a down to earth good person that was very patient and never got agitated with me even though I was pushing him pretty hard through my own stresses. He knows his stuff obviously but more importantly was kind and patient.
