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.

Grateful! Heaven sent! Brilliant! creme de la creme

The law firm of Peter Cedeno Associates saved me when my life was in shambles, in deep debt, emotionally drained and at my lowest time in my life, very confused, and my child custody was in question by the court based on many false and ugly accusations being presented by my ex husband with his lawyer...s, I was trapped in a contract called marriage that I didn't understand. My dedicated hard life to my ex was going to be used against me in the ugliest and worst possible ways. We had a small business that was generously given to my ex husband hidden 2 year girlfriend and her family. I helped nurture and grow that small business for over 12 years. I needed a divorce, and I needed it yesterday to get our life back. Now I had to get a lawyer, could things get any worse? Yes! I could have foolishly chosen an attorney or firm other than the best Peter Cedeno Associates team. From the beginning they were ready to get to work and tame the savage beast of uncertain helluva divorce and child custody proceedings. I was amicable to doing things cooperatively with the inferno and much drama that my ex husband was throwing at us, but when the outstretched hand was slapped away hard, through no fault of ours, Mr. Peter Cedeno was ready to fight for us! Cooperatively and through aggressive litigation, he was successful at both, it makes no difference to a winner like Mr. Cedeno, he will handle it. Long story short, we were VICTORIOUS TRIUMPHANT AND SUCCESSFUL at all three, the divorce, business separation-division proceedings and custody of my child!!! Thank you ALL at Peter Cedeno and Associates!!

Brilliant and Compassionate

My children's' custody/divorce and joint complex business separation case has been the most trying, exhaustive and draining experience of my life and that of my children. I never thought things can get as horribly dramatically intense as this when you part ways. Apart from the light of my child, ther...e has really been only one other bright spot to the whole experience. Mr, Peter Cedeno. I never (ever!) expected such compassion in a hired premier senior legal counsel. Alternately, Peter never sugar coated the situation and has been my leader, inspiration and true guide on a very complex and time consuming journey. Mr. Cedeno has put me to work mentally, and the work has been hard. But his very matter-of-fact approach to why, and his ability to set the example and pace by working so incredibly hard himself, kept me going. Peter always bought peace, calm and tranquility every time he spoke to us and seeing his outstanding abilities at court. He brought peace of mind to our life at a time we needed it most. An angel from above. Mr. Cedeno explained step by step his strategy and what he expected of us to be able to win. We never felt rushed nor felt it was just a financial gain on his part. Peter was compassionate and wholeheartedly involved as if these were his loving and precious children he wanted custody of. As hard as this has all been, I can't imagine how devastating it would have all felt without this very rare and special person making me feel like they are in my corner from a very genuine place. A most brilliant attorney in the courtroom floor and at negotiating with the system and its complexities. Words escape me to properly express my gratitude for the fact that brilliant lawyers like this really are out there, while rare to find. Mr. Cedeno never cut corners with his efforts and never lost patience with me during a very scattered and overwhelming time in my life. Peter has gone above and beyond for me, to the point of pleasant surprise which is something I so desperately needed going through this! We had a long, extensive child custody trial and he worked brilliantly both in and out of court to reach an outcome in our favor. Again, I'm at a loss to express my gratitude for Peter L. Cedeno & Associates Law Firm world class efforts so instead, I'll recommend Peter and his Firm from the most honest place.... our hearts!.

Greatest attorney that represented me!

I hired Mr. Peter Cedeno to represent me for a very stressful and very contested child support matter. Mr. Cedeno has the expertise that you need. Peter is a lawyers - lawyer and one that truly listens the client. He would always address my of of my questions in terms I understood. I had emailed him ...sometimes on weekends and got a responses within a short time! If you should find yourself having to go to court, this is the attorney you want by your- side. Peter Cedeno was referred to me by my mother and I will be forever grateful! Thanks mom!. I also appreciated the support staff at Mr. Cedeno's office.
