Exceptional Service and Expertise

Peter is a true professional in every way. He listened carefully to the facts of our case and our concerns before providing a plan of action that would yield the best results. His investigation was thorough. He challenged the Prosecutors Office to re-evaluate the strength of its case based on inconsi...stencies in the testimony provided by the Police Officers involved. In the end, Peter was successful in having our case Dismiss based on his due diligence.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
