Review for Attorney Peter Berdon

After speaking with many lawyers in Connecticut for a year I always came away with the feeling that without $10,000 up front I would never have representation for my divorce. They also didn't seem to understand the issues. Enter Attorney Peter Berdon! The first time I spoke with Peter he immediate...ly understood the underlying issues and was very thoughtful with answering my questions, (I had a lot of them!) he also advised me on new issues that he alone recognized and always made me feel respected during the process. Peter laid out an itemized list of what would happen at court and the cost of each item. This was wonderful as I could plan what would be coming up next. He also agreed to a payment plan. He was completely honest and transparent, which I appreciate immensely! In the end, I didn't have 2 days of court trial and instead Peter orchestrated a great settlement which I could never have done without him! This of course relieved me of any anxiety about my future. I believe my Guardian Angel sent Peter to me at just the right time. I highly recommend Attorney Peter Berdon at the law office of Berdon, Young & Margolis.

Solid choice

I have had the pleasure of hiring Peter Berdon for multiple legal matters over the last six years. He is professional, very responsive and has gone above and beyond many times. Peter is realistic with expected outcomes and objective with his counsel. I was appreciative for the free initial consultati...on and reasonable fees. I would highly recommend the Berdon, Young & Margolis team and Peter in particular, if you are looking for a hard working, honest attorney.

One of the good examples of the profession

I have known Peter Berdon for many year and at the start, wondered if he would live up to his father who was a spectacular benefit to society and the legal profession. He has shown himself to be just that. Over the years, we have used him and his firm to solve any legal issue that arose. He sometimes... surprised us with the solutions he found. He and his firm are a pleasure to deal with.

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.
