When purchasing commercial property, I turned to Peter. Every step of the way, Peter guided me through the transaction, made fantastic suggestions, and answered my questions. Everything was worked out long before we got to the closing table. As a lawyer myself, I was impressed with Pete's ability to anticipate and solve problems.
