Peter Douglas Bilowz

This is a review of Peter Bilowz, Esq. of Goulston & Storrs. I cannot recommend him because of his personality, laziness, and unethical behavior. I employed him because I had a problem with my housing voucher through a Boston housing agency. Unfortunately, he has a neurotic need to feel superior... to clients of lower income. This he demonstrated in numerous ways. Although I may have lower income, I have letters of recommendation from some very illustrious people, including two Presidents of the United States. Thus, I am atypical. Mr. Bilowz threatened me in the middle of our work by saying "Do you want me to represent you?" I did not give him provocation for saying that. I found him to be an arrogant and egotistical prima donna. We had an argument during which it was apparent he was not representing me aggressively. At one point, I said, "Whose side are you on--mine or [an employee of the housing agency]?" I have had several lawyers represent me in the past, and we always had good working relationships. I also have done a great deal of legal research in the past, including writing an appellate brief. This leads to my next issue--Bilowz's laziness. I did 95% of the work in the case. Mr. Bilowz put a minimal amount of work into the case--maybe he thought he could get away with that. He did not advocate for me aggressively. Recently, I discovered that the legal clinic Mr. Bilowz is working with is partnering with the housing agency, which was my adversary! Thus, Bilowz had a conflict of interest which he did not disclose. No wonder he did not pursue my case aggressively! Not only can I not recommend him--I think he should be disciplined for his behavior.
