Client

I can't rave enough about The Law Offices of Peter Van Aulen. From my first initial contact with them I knew instantly that Peter was going to be an excellent lawyer for my case. Not only is he a fantastic lawyer, but he is very understanding, knows how to listen to his clients, and extract those d...etails which make a big difference when dealing with difficult cases. Peter has a mind-set that few people do and I appreciate every effort he has made with my case. My case was very difficult and he was always right on with focus on the right attitude. He faithfully commits to get the job done accurately. I didn't know many law terms until he explained things so easily for me. He's not just some lawyer like many others out there who want to be quick with your case, he takes his time and explains everything before standing in front of a judge. He made me feel comfortable and had a willingness to do what it takes. I highly without a doubt recommend Peter and his team all the way!

Exceptional Divorce Attorney

Peter is very knowledgeable on all levels and provided smart and solid advice during my entire divorce process. Peter is compassionate and good listener. He also can fight and play hard ball when necessary. His office staff was easy to work with and Peter ended my divorce with the outcome I wanted... without breaking the bank. I give him my fullest recommendation.

Amazing Lawyer

Peter Van Aulen was an amazing lawyer for me. He helped me avoid a final restraining order and had helped me reach a civil agreement instead. As a rising freshman in college, this was a huge relief as my record will not be tainted. I am extremely lucky. Peter worked miracles for me.
