Sent a N.Y. lawyer packing.

There are no words that could express my gratitude. Peter's knowledge of the law is profound. His years of experience obvious. Yea that N.Y. lawyer left with a puss on his face lol The legal secretaries were wonderful !

Client

Peter is an excellent Employment Attorney, he is strategic and incredibly detail oriented in his approach – both aggressive and judicious. He was extremely responsive and thoughtful during our engagement -I recommend him to anyone who needs a competent and capable attorney.

Peter fought for me!

Big guys picking on the little guys get the professionals at Mashel Law fired up! These lawyers are passionate and ready to defend the underdog! Many women don't pursue their employment cases legally, as the thought of it is overwhelming, but walking away was for me, an admission of guilt and... therefore NOT an option. After interviewing a larger firm and Peter, I knew Mashel Law would give my case the attention it deserved! Peter walked me through the process of filing and strategically pursuing a case against my former employer, and fought for me every step of the way! He knew my file like the back of his hand and he recognized the complexities of my case from the jump. Steve is a hard nosed, master of NJ employment Law and would not back down! And Tina was always there with a word of encouragement! Thanks to Peter and his team, I can walk around with my head held high and know that my former employer and their minions paid for what they took away from me and from my family!

Excellent Representation!!

I walked in the office afraid that i didnt have a chance against my former employer. Peter researched and found that although my case was rare i definitely had the right to defend myself. Peter always kept me in the loop and in a shorter time than i could have ever imagine we were victorious. Pete...r is friendly and knowledgeable and compassionate. I was so happy to have worked with him. He allowed me to show my two small girls that you should fight for what is right and always defend yourself and what you believe. I couldn't be happier!! Thank you Peter

Peter was extremely helpful, knowledgable and hard-working when it came to my situation. He had the issue resolved faster than I could have imagined and he kept me in the loop throughout the process. I would definitely recommend him to someone looking for representation.

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.
