Excellent Experience

Attorney Padula took great lengths to carefully explain the various legal options available to me regarding my court case. Attorney Padula then made his recommendation for the most appropriate route for us to take the would result in the best possible outcome for me. He was very thorough, a great co...mmunicator, and promptly returned any phone calls or messages. My experience with him was made all the more positive due to him charging me a fair and honest attorney fee. I would highly recommend Attorney Padula for any of your legal needs!

OUI

I hired Peter Padula after being charged with an OUI. Peter's expertise, experience and knowledge of the system made a very difficult situation much easier. I could not have asked for a better outcome.

Masterful!

I really am grateful I chose Peter. He was very willing to dig deep and ask all the right questions - as well as go above and beyond in order to prepare for my case. He's a passionate man who truly understood and felt for my particular situation. A good human being indeed. Working with him was a true... pleasure - particularly because we/I prevailed in the end. I, without a doubt, would look to him again in the future (but in all honesty, I hope to never see him again!) :-)

Great job handling my case

Peter did a great job helping me with a criminal misdemeanor case. He kept me informed and was readily available whenever I reached out, and always kept my best interests in mind.

Lucky to have met him

I hired Peter to handle a situation I needed help with. He was always available and took detailed information from me through out the process. I would strongly recommend him. P.S. we won the case

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.
