An easy lawyer to email about advertising rules for paralegals in MA

Great way to learn more about the law, is to have someone who you can email about legal questions to, such as, having a disability while looking for work is very hard. Feel blessed that I got a lot of great resources from this lawyer. I can easily read his emails, learn, also, I can use all the resou...rces right away.

Attorney DeGelleke

As a former satisfied client, I write this review to memorialize the outstanding performance Attorney DeGelleke provided. Attorney DeGelleke used his legal expertise to address what's called a CVB violation which stands for Central Violations Bureau. Matters such as these are usually a traffic viol...ation issued by Federal Police, however, the CVB in this case, was a malicious accusation of disorderly conduct which needed to be handled in Federal court. I started calling and researching attorneys. Many attorneys I spoke with highly recommended Peter who was conveniently located in Bedford MA. After making arrangements to meet, we met for a free 45 minute to 1-hour consultation. During that meeting, I learned that not only could Attorney Degelleke help me with resolving this erroneous violation, he is also well known for donating his time and legal expertise to help victims of 9/11/2001 free of charge. In the time that I was Attorney Degelleke client, I had the pleasure of experiencing his generosity, kindness, professionalism and his mild-approach. He promptly returned my phone calls, emails and always had my best interest in mind.

Consultation

Attorney DeGelleke offered a full hour consultation, during which time he listened carefully and asked pertinent questions as I described my case of medical negligence. He explained the legal components of taking the case to court and pulled information off the web to further assist me in the decisi...on making process. If I were to choose litigation, I would, most certainly, choose Peter DeGelleke to represent me.

Very Professional

Peter did an excellent job in a short timeframe getting our case dismissed. He researched and found a valuable precedent and worked over the weekend on a motion to dismiss the case which was granted. I would definitely use him again.

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.

  • 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.
