Peter Degelleke has our #1 vote

I would absolutely recommend Peter. My daughter had shoplifted for the first time. I found Peter by website and decided to email him a note. I had no idea what to do, what mine and my daughters rights were and how much trouble she would face. I emailed Peter on a weekend not even thinking he wou...ld get back to me. Within hours I got a response from Peter. I could believe it! He sounded very genuine, caring and explained in general terms what my daughter would be facing. He really put me at ease. With his guidance we were able to face the court system with confidence . She has learned her lesson without facing criminal charges on her record. I found Peter to be extremely caring, quick to respond, and knew the court system. I would highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
