The Absolute Best

Pete and the entire Perocchi staff were the ultimate professionals from day one, successfully getting me through this process, yet never forgetting the human side of the business so often ignored in their profession. I never lacked for compassion and caring, but never once had any doubts about thei...r tenacity and ability both in and out of the courtroom. Pete exhibited a strong knowledge of a vast array of issues that encompassed my case as well as the ability to research and quickly obtain the necessary knowledge required for any new issue that was put before him. I most appreciated his willingness and ability to clearly explain law, legal procedures, processes, and rules and patiently answer my many questions. Pete always kept me updated and informed every step of the way, but all along he never forgot to laugh and make me laugh - a key ingredient in getting through a process that can never be defined as "fun". Hopefully you will never have to hire an attorney for this reason, but in the event you do, don’t look any further. Hardworking, smart, sharp, talented, funny, compassionate, and committed. That’s Pete.

Mr. Jamieson gives lawyers a good name

Going through a divorce is one of the most stressful experiences anyone can go through, and finding Pete, from the outset, immediately started putting me at ease. He is easy to talk with, follows through with what he says he is going to do, and explains very well what will be taking place. He was ...tough enough to deal with what he had to encounter, was thick-skinned, and yet, very much a human being.

I made the right choice......

Partnering with the right lawyer is critical. I was always kept informed and Pete presented and explained the options infront of me clearly and with no surprises.

Terrific Lawyer and a great guy.

Divorce is a scary and lonely thing to go through. I really had no idea how to begin or what to do. Mr. Paul Perocchi of Perocchi Family Law Group, a customer of mine, was the only person I knew who to turn to. When I called Mr. Perocchi he set me up with Peter and immediately I knew I was in good ha...nds. Mr. Jamieson laid the whole process out in a very easy to understand manner. The explanations were very precise and every question I had, no matter how simple or mundane, he would answer and put my mind at ease. If a situation came up that I did not know how to handle Peter would take my calls immediately and calmly walk me through it. The actual court day Mr. Jamieson was very prepared and had copies of important paperwork ready in hand for me and my ex-wife, including her lawyer. Peter kept me preoccupied the entire court day with small talk and reassurances and before I knew it we were done and out of the court house. Mr. Jamieson and the whole staff at Perocchi Family Law group are amazing people and they really care about their profession. They would keep me constantly updated via emails or phone calls and whenever I would swing by the office they greeted me with smiles and warm welcomes. Divorce can be a painful experience but thanks to Mr. Peter Jamieson I barely felt a thing. I would highly recommend him and the Perocchi Family Law group.

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.
