  • I recommend Peter Bort.
  • I used Peter 1-6 months ago.
  • Peter handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
Client Review:
Peter represented me during my divorce. What I valued most was that he understands the law well, was very responsive and realistic. My case actually went to trial and Peter did a great job acting in my best interest to get me the best possible settlement. Peter also represented me during a custody dispute. Again, he understands the law well and helped me gain partial custody of my two children. I will continue to use Peter for family legal matters in the future. He is now a valued and trusted advisor of mine.

Client Review:
Peter Bort dropped our legal matter without warning.
We lost significant leverage because he was not responsive.
Because he is a lawyer we will leave it at that. He would make a good car salesman.We are writing now because we were reminded when another legal matter came up.Having booksmarts does not matter if the follow through is not as promised.

Client Review:
Peter sent a letter to the judge asking to be removed from my case due to differences. He didn't call me about this, or email me about this. I received a copy of his request to withdraw. I used the last bit of money that I had for the retainer. Now I am scrambling to find a new attorney to represent me in my divorce.

Peter Bort is one of the finest lawyers I know! He is a Lawyer's Lawyer.

Client Review:
I am involved in family law on a daily basis. I am a well known Montgomery County attorney. I own multiple law firms and businesses. I have access to hundreds of family attorneys and know the community well. When I needed a family attorney to represent me, I chose attorney Peter Bort. Peter has integrity, intelligence and is deeply committed to his clients and their cause. This is not just my perception, but the perception of the many domestic court judges that have dealt with Peter in a court room. It is also the perception of the attorneys that have opposed Peter in a case.

Peter Bort is an excellent advocate for child custody issues.

Client Review:
Peter Bort handled my divorce in 1994. It was a very difficult time and he helped me through it every step of the way. He has been a great advocate for my children and I don't know what we would have done without him.
Over the years I have had to call upon him for various reasons concerning issues relating to the divorce and he has always responded promptly and extremely effectively. He has fought for us when we needed an advocate, he has reminded me that it is important for both parties to be fair and amicable, and he has made sure that I know that he is always there if we need him.
If you are in the process of a divorce and need a lawyer that you can fully trust, you should call Peter. I cannot say enough kind and positive things about him. I honestly feel that it was divine intervention that I found him to represent myself and my children.
