Common Sense Business Solutions

Peter DiChiara has worked with me in my capacity as CFO and/or founder of both public and private companies. With his background and experience as an attorney and accountant he has given me common sense solutions to complex financial reporting and compliance issues, and general business matters. An... international distribution and co-development agreement he prepared was so comprehensive that it protected our company when a party to the agreement attempted to commercialize our company's intellectual property and cause harm to our business and reputation - the contract was so well written that we quickly prevailed in The High Court Of Justice in England.

Posted by Brad Hoagland, CFA | May 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Business

Pete provides an exceptional level of service, never misses a deadline and wears both legal and accounting hats.

We hired Pete back in March to help guide us through our transition to a public company. At first he was tasked with managing our S-1 filing process with the SEC, but our team quickly realized that he was a special talent. It's not often that you find a lawyer that is a roll-up your sleeves, get yo...ur hands dirty type; but, with Pete, you also get a background in accounting. He has masterfully guided us through our transition, and we now consider him an invaluable member of the team that is embedded in our decision making process. I would highly recommend Pete Dichiara and his firm.

Timing, wisdom, and guidance.

Peter is an attorney schooled in the art. That is the 'inner circle'. His talents have two other circles - each one larger and more important in a professional. Peter has experience and contacts. This added body of knowledge contributes to timely, solid answers. Most important he possesses an uncanny... ability to 'see' the big picture insuring focus is properly placed. Taken as a package you, and your business are well served by an ethical, humorous, and reasonable person.

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.
