Excellent Attorney

Mr. Cedeno was very honest during the initial meeting. He took me through all the steps of the process that would take place. He was very understanding of the situation and was very kind regarding all the emotions that were involved. Mr. Cedano walked me through the time frame of the process and w...as very honest about everything. There were no surprises or hidden numbers on the cost. He was very courteous and professional at all times. I would highly recommend Mr. Cedano for your legal needs.

Client review

I was represented by Peter and his associate Carly Steinberg in a case involving my ex. Peter was very thoughtful and concerned and responsive about my particular situation, the impact on my son and my well-being. I appreciated Peter's humanity and humility and knowledge of the law.

Excellent lawyer during a trying time

Peter was an excellent attorney during one of the hardest times in my life. He set my worry at ease, allowing me to concentrate on the emotions of a marriage ending. He always took my calls, gave good advice, worked with my schedule, and did his work briskly and efficiently with a human touch. In t...he crisis mode that first begins a divorce, he knew exactly what to do and say to put me on a path of calm and healing. As an attorney myself, I appreciate the professionalism and thoroughness of his work. My divorce was finalized quickly and completely. Thank you, Peter.

Talented Divorce Attorney

I was married for less than three years when I came home from work and most of the furniture in our apartment was gone. I found a note from my husband saying the marriage was over and he would see me in court. My husband filed in NYC and since we didn’t really have many assents and no children I th...ought we would only have to split up our furniture and decide who took over things like the car, rent payments and get divorced. I was so wrong I walked into court and his lawyer starting accusing me of everything that was wrong in the marriage and wanted him to get everything including a valuable ring that was his great grandmothers and rehabilitative alimony. I left court house speechless. I then interviewed three lawyers ultimately picking Peter Cedeño. They tried the same thing with him but by the time he outlined the true story to the court and threatened depositions and trial fees - they gave in a day before the next court date. I got the car, the ring and the apartment plus the judge actually said better luck next time. It really does matter who you hire. Going into this I was very nervous and scared but Peter calmly listened then spoke loudly and clearly for what seemed like an hour – convincing the judge and my husband’s lawyer to back off. Not only is he’s a great lawyer he is understanding, sensitive, knowledgeable and fierce in the court room. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to win their case and get what is owed to them. Thank you Peter _ I really can’t imagine anyone else doing such an excellent job for me!

A true fighter indeed.

I already had a divorce case settled prior with a different lawyer before Peter Cedeno with matters left unfortunately totally confused, paperwork left unclear with no sense of direction. Peter and his team were available to provide opened guidance and profound understanding step by step, on how my ...prior legal situation should have been resolved. No questions were left unanswered. After going through a some personal rough patches on the agreement against my ex-spouse and rounds of legal counseling with Peter and his team, I am finally confident he will take charge in my making sure all matters are handled as such accordingly and fair for my new child support and custody case. Definitely, a true fighter to have in your corner.
