The Best

Mr. Withey represented my husband and I on a small case last year. He was professional, knowledgeable and reassuring. Of course we were nervous, but his calm demeanor showed us that he had it all under control. Mr. Withey helped us settle our case and we have recommended him numerous times since. ...I'm sure the people we have recommended have had or will have similarly successful stories.

Criminal matter

Peter represented me when I was falsely accused of assaulting a guy. Peter fought for me and got the charges dropped.

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.
