Outstanding brilliant lawyer!

Mr. Peter Cedeno is an amazing and brilliant lawyer! Before hiring him I did a comprehensive and thorough extensive research/review on over 37 family/divorce law attorneys and firms by asking others that I know got divorced sometime in their life, on Better Business Bureau website, AVVO website and y...es Google reviews and his name always came on top of all the rest. I am forever grateful to him and his staff for all that they did on my divorce. From the very first moment I met with Peter, I knew that he was the lawyer I could trust to help me and my little angel. I came to him desperate and confused, and unaware of what legal remedies would help to what ended up to be a very complex divorce case. Mr. Cedeno's experience of over 20 years in family and divorce law was the best fit for my situation. He had an answer for all the issues that came up during litigation. Mr. Cedeno does has the knowledge to handle difficult divorces that include complex assets such as businesses, properties, and other assets. You can count on his extensive experience and knowledge and be sure that he knows the law beyond expectations. He makes time for you even after battling in court for his other clients, and does make you feel that you matter to him. When you meet with him, you can see in his eyes that he is truly listening to you, and that you are safe with him. You will see what I am saying when you see him in court fighting for you. Mr. Peter Cedeno will genuinely fight for you to the very end, he is blessed with great knowledge, brilliance and experience. He has seen it all truly as one of his past experience was as a prosecutor in the Kings County District Attorney's Office and no matter what your fears are, he has an answer for all of your questions. All is left is to trust him. Even at the very end of the process, he is there to make sure all the details are taking care of, as he is very vigilant, and he stands behind you every step of the way. I recommend Mr. Peter Cedeno to everyone who is filing for a divorce, or has a family law related issue. He will take care of you and your family, as his experience will handle cases from simple facts to extremely complex cases. Thank you Mr. Cedeno! I am forever grateful to you all! Mr. Cedeno and his great staff at Peter L. Cedeno & associates PC. My little angel and I will always have you in our hearts and thoughts. The gratitude I have for all of you is far too much to put in words in this review, I am so grateful!. Mr. Cedeno's hard work goes beyond the hundreds of words I wish I had room to write. I would have to write a college textbook to write down all of my thoughts regarding what I feel for Peter L. Cedeno & associates PC ! Thank you, thank you and thank you, and God Bless you!

Thank you Mr. Cedeno

I hired Mr. Peter Cedeno to help me in a complicated divorce and custody dispute with my ex husband regarding my son. During the time of my previous relationship and even after separation my ex husband had intimidated me and dominated any decision made regarding my son. He bullied me and used his fin...ancial stature to make me feel that I didn't stand a chance against him when he filed to take sole custody of our son and leave me as he constantly said " in the streets without a nickel to my name and without my son. Always belittling me in the worst possible ways. I went into the divorce and custody dispute feeling alone, weak, confused, anxious, nervous, powerless, and scared due to his constant belittlement but as a mother I would go to any length, at any cost to fight for my precious son. Mr. Cedeno and his staff gave me so much confidence and ensured me that they would be my voice and help me fight for my rights as a mother and that is exactly what he did. I honestly don't believe anyone else could have taken me through this experience as pleasantly and thoughtfully as Mr. Cedeno does; it was as if we were family and he treated all of us with so much compassion and kindness. His ethics and knowledge for what he does are unparalleled. I've never dealt with an attorney with so much heart, yet still such vigor and determination when dealing with a case. Mr. Cedeno kept me strong and focused on the tasks; always communicating with me so I could completely understand with no surprises. Mr. Cedeno was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate, and honest. Mr. Peter Cedeno did his job and he did it well. Peter was very aggressive while staying very professional in front of the judge and the others. I walked out of the court room feeling empowered and protected. When it was all over, I felt vindicated and all that my ex Husband wished on me was turned around on him!! talk about karma. We won every aspect of the case!! My family cannot ever thank Mr. Peter Cedeno and his staff enough. I recommend Mr. Peter L. Cedeno and Associates to anyone that finds themselves in a family dispute. They will give you the justice you and your family deserve.

Outstanding Lawyer

I am very excited to write this recommendation and share my experience at Peter L. Cedeno & associates PC! Divorce can be difficult, along with divorce for many comes child custody, alimony, child support, and other complex legal matters that can change your life forever and with the wrong and inexpe...rience attorney on your side it will be disastrous, tragic, devastating and depressing. When one is going through the process of emotions one can tend to get lost and lose focus. I did not want to lose focus, I called various trusted friends and colleagues and was referred to Peter L Cedeno & Associates, PC. Mr. Peter Cedeno was actually the attorney who took lead on my case and kept in contact with me, my dad and loving family every step of the way, and handled all other legal issues for us. Peter is our angel. Unique in every way! Blessings to you, and loved ones always! Mr. Peter Cedeno goes above and beyond to make sure justice is served and that you have your life back intact at the end of this treacherous legal process able to live a very productive and happy life for all of your family to love and share again, specifically our children. I am happy he was on my side through it all and quite relieved Peter was not in my es husband side. Mr. Cedeno combined both consummate professionalism and tremendous compassion in his dealings with us. His legal advice, concerns for the welfare of me and my three daughters, and moral support have made this unfortunate process of divorce much easier than it otherwise would have been. I highly recommend Mr. Peter Cedeno and the firm Peter L. Cedeno Associates PC services to anyone in need of family and divorce law attorneys whom are compassionate about you and your family! Thank you Peter! God bless you and loved ones always! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

Our second chance at living and loving! Thank you Mr. Cedeno!

Peter L. Cedeno law firm associates came into our life when my children and I needed an outstanding and brilliant lawyer the most! When we needed a second chance at living and loving. I don't think anyone enjoys having to deal with the pain of divorce and separation of assets, accounts, properties, ...other valuable things and most precious of all custody of my children plus child support, the process that is so common to divorce these days, and the very high cost associated with it. One of the only good part of my divorce was having Mr. Peter Cedeno on my side the other was gaining full sole custody of my children and all we asked the court, which we also received. Peter knew exactly what was going on early as I explained certain things to him and that gave me the ability to focus on what I needed to do. We had regular strategy discussions/meetings as needed with the goal of resolving the case as effectively as possible. Mr. Cedeno is only one side of the case, however, the other being so the more difficult opposing lawyers on your ex husband side, the more you need someone level headed and experienced like Mr. Peter Cedeno to get the job done fairly, properly and efficiently. In my experience and that of close friends of mine and people at my company, a number of the divorce attorneys I saw were sharks or tall tale tellers. Mr. Peter Cedeno was professional, ethical, humble and caring, and at times humorous to the point of getting much smiles/laughter out of my children and was also well known in the courtroom. Whenever I asked any legal question, process questions, likely outcome questions at all Mr. Cedeno had the answer for me directly. He was able to share his experience and offer a most likely outcome so that I could decide if I should fight an issue or not based on his advice. In the end, the settlement was essentially what we offered in the first place, it just took my ex that long to realize the promises he was being given by his attorneys were not realistic. My costs were also about less than half of his. I would highly recommend Mr. Peter Cedeno to any unfortunate soul who is facing divorce and need the very best you are able to get to get going at a second chance at living and loving. You will be well taken care of and represented. I wish I could say the process is fair and simple, but that just isn't the case so you need to have someone like Mr. Cedeno on your side. I wholeheartedly recommend him without any reservation.
