Excellent Lawyer

I contacted Peter for a matter that involved my son. Peter was helpful, knowledgeable and professional. He worked not just with me but also with my son, and answered all our questions and responded to our calls in a timely manner. He got great results and not only that, but when the matter was resol...ved with only one court date, he refunded half our retainer. I highly recommend Peter Schuyler, for his professionalism, kindness, and excellent ethics.

Easement issue resolved!

We had a complicated real estate easement issue our initial attorney overlooked so we approached several attorneys in the area. Most said they could not litigate the issue, so we kept searching. We even ran across one sub-par attorney that took our significant retianer fee THEN said we had no case. ... Fortunately, one of the attorneys we spoke to recommended Kitson and Schuyler. K&S listened to our issue, thought about a strategy and agreed to take on the challenge. Kitson and Schuyler successfully litigated our case and obtained the results we were looking for. In 6 months, we had closure and were able to move on with our business. I highly recommend this team!

We Didn't Give Up - No Regrets!

I highly recommend Peter and Roseanne Schuyler law firm. A husband and wife team - they are both well respected in the community, down to earth, honest, kind, knowledgeable and hardworking. On behalf of homeowners, I engaged them in a condominium matter. They had the tenacity and drive to fight again...st an original court ruling. The Schuyler team filed a follow up claim challenging the decision, which resulted in a favorable outcome for the community. I trusted their professional advice, and thanks to Peter and Roseanne, I didn't give up! I would do it again in a heart beat with the Schuyler team by my side. And the case was resolved with reasonable rates too. No regrets!

Amazing.

Peter did an amazing job getting traffic tickets plea bargained after my unsuccessful attempts to do so. In fact he was able to get two of them dismissed!!! After twenty minted on the phone he agreed to take my issues on and told me not to worry about them. He wasn't kidding!!! His level of integrit...y was superior and his rates more than fair. Thank you Perter. I hope to never use you again.....but if I need a lawyer, it'll be you! Charlie

Top Notch, Class Act, Impressive, Affordable

I am a small business owner. I was sued by a large company on a completely bogus claim. They thought they could bully me into giving them what they wanted, but after meeting with Peter Schuyler, I decided to fight back. Best decision I could have made. Peter is smart, aggressive and knows his stu...ff. When we went into court, he was completely prepared and after listening to his presentation, the other side agreed to have the case dismissed! Another great thing about Peter was that the fees were very reasonable -- especially considering the excellent results! I'll use him again and recommend him to anyone I know who needs a lawyer.
