Best Family Law Attorney

Finding a reliable, honest, and dedicated attorney is not an easy task. The process itself can be as tiresome, complicated, and confusing, as filing unknown paperwork and representing yourself in court. There are many attorneys who will promise you success and will steal your trust in a moment of des...peration and confusion, but if you want someone to fight for your rights as if it were their personal situation, Mr. Peter Cedeno is the one to do it. He is the attorney you want to sit with and confide in, knowing that a solution is soon to be proposed. He will make you understand the process before a contract is even presented. Mr. Cedeno will do everything possible to win your case. His expertise in family law and speedy, precise responses to opposing parties would make any client feel confident that they are being represented by the best attorney possible. I feel he is the only family law attorney you will ever need and I highly recommend him to anyone I know.

Exceptional Divorce Lawyer

As a Divorce Lawyer, I've found Mr. Cedeno to be one of the most friendliest, empathetic, trusting lawyers I have met. Him and his associates respond quickly to my questions and concerns with a clear understanding, speaking to me and not at me, letting me know that I am the most important person wit...h all due respect. Mr. Cedeno has demonstrated his professional legal abilities which has insured me throughout my time spent with him that I made the wright choice selecting him as my divorce lawyer. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professionally experienced divorce attorney they could rely on and trust.

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!

Great first impression

Thank you, Peter, for your responsiveness when I contacted you out of the blue. It means a lot when you don't know what to do next. I appreciate it very much.

Amazing Attorney

Peter was amazing! I felt like I could trust him immediately over our initial phone conversation. Once we met and began working together I realized that I made the right choice by hiring him. He was quick to respond to my emails and texts. He would put me at ease when I was in doubt. The end result ...of my case was to my satisfaction and I would hire him again if I had to.
