Thanks to Peter I got my green card.

Beyond professional and knowledgeable, Peter always goes above and beyond to for their clients. I was extremely skeptical and scared to even start the process. But after our first meeting I started feeling more at ease. Peter covered all the aspects of the process. Kept us up to date on any updates a...nd reached out immediately if any changes emerged. Extremely grateful for his professionalism, we couldn’t have done this without Peter.

Go-To-Guy

Great job. Has handled a bunch of different things for me. Eviction with wacky tenant, Closing on a real estate sale and handling potentially fatal snags, Getting a strong settlement for a long and complicated out-of-state personal injury, even Setting up a trust so it's not chaos for my family if I... perish. Good egg.

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.
