Posted by Kelly | July 11, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Honest, Kind, and a True Gentleman

My friend had recently been divorced, and I’d heard nothing but nightmare stories about her lawyer and how—despite her financial situation—he burned through her retainer...and then some. So when I finally made the big decision to divorce as well, I wasn't just nervous, I was terrified. But Peter Jame...son changed all that. Not only did he listen to me—he really heard me and laid out a plan that worked for me and not just him. Although we did eventually use up my retainer, it was necessary, it happened gradually and fairly, and it was fully documented. He made sure I understood the process and expected costs, and at several points he even recommended we not take certain steps he deemed too costly and not worth the time. In the end, the divorce didn’t just go smoothly—it was more successful than I could have ever hoped. Although I don’t plan on marrying again anytime soon (let alone going through another divorce), if I did, I’d choose Peter all over again.

client review.

I couldn't of been happier with the service and legal counsel I received by Peter L. Jameson during my divorce. He was responsive to all my needs and helped me to navigate through the entire divorce process, to ultimately achieve the best outcome. I would recommend his services to anyone looking f...or exceptional guidance during a divorce.

A lawyer that actually cares

When I came to Peter I was already emotionally and financially drained. I took my ex to court for support in May of 2015. I hired a well known firm to represent me. However, despite having an extremely expensive well-known lawyer, I was jerked around more than ever. My ex and his attorney were cons...tantly showing up without court ordered documents, requesting adjournments, or just blatantly not showing up, and nothing was done about it. I was very clear about my financial situation with my attorney, but the bills just kept coming in and I was getting nowhere. 14 months later and 17k in legal fees it finally ended. However, ten days later my ex filed for full custody. I stayed with my heartless lawyer for a few more months, but the same exact crap of adjournments and "forgotten" court dates was happening. I was now 25k into legal fees and I couldn't afford to play the game anymore. I fired my attorney and tried to do the case on my own, until it appeared we were going to trial and the judge strongly advised me to get an attorney. Broke and desperate, I did a google search and decided to have a consultation with Peter, honestly because he was across the street from the court house and there would be no traveling fees. As soon as I met him I knew my prayers were answered and he was going to help me. I came to Peter in November of 2016 and everything was done and finalized by the beginning of February. My only regret is that I didn't reach out to Peter sooner. He's attentive, he's knowledgeable and he's kind. This is an attorney who is not just looking to take your money, he actually wants to help you.

Would be happy to use again(although I hope I don't have to)

He was easy to work with, responded in a timely fashion to any questions I had and although my case was as simple as it gets, he was still there to help resolve my divorce as quickly and as simply as possible. I found him through Google and found that he was definitely the best result especially... with being so local.

Here is an Divoce Attorney You want on your side!

I live out of NY state and needed a Divorce attorney who would be there for me and stand up for my rights. Peter not only squashed what my ex wife wanted thru the courts, he found other areas that I was OVERPAYING, and had it all reduces! He knows the law and the way the courts operate and work. He ...is the go to attorney you want on your side in the courtroom! I'm glad my ex-wife did not hire him, and I found him first. People, do your homework, and get a lawyer to fight for your rights! I glad I hired Peter!

"It is unusual that the matrimonial attorney combines vigorous and well-prepared representation with empathy. Peter is such an advocate. In difficult times of divorce and separation, this is an attorney who values preparation combined with aggressive representation. He is well respected by his colleagues. It is unusual that a matrimonial attorney combines vigorous and well-prepared representation with empathy. Peter is such an advocate. In difficult times of divorce and separation, this is an attorney who values preparation combined with aggressive representation. He is well respected by his colleagues and brings into the courtroom the same tenacity he exhibits as a triathlete Those traits of hard work, diligence, a strong moral compass and a never give up attitude allows me to enthusiastically endorse attorney Jameson. Peter is a rising star in the field matrimonial law."

"I endorse this lawyer 110%! I absolutely endorse Mr. Jameson for all your matrimonial, family, child custody/visitation and child support matters. He is a hardworking, honest and extremely knowledgeable attorney. He is well respected in the legal community. I have even had a case or two with him and I have seen his "in-court" demeanor. He is definitely someone you want on your side. I was so impressed with Mr. Jameson that I have even sent my own family and friends to him for help when they have needed a divorce or had a family court problems. And when my family & friends had their case(s) concluded - each one thanked me for sending them to Mr. Jameson! That is the best endorsement anyone can get in cases such as these, because there are usually no winners in a divorce or family court matter. But, his professionalism, expertise and commitment to his client's rights sets him apart from others practicing and in my opinion he is the "go to" guy in matrimonial and family law!"

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Pete Jameson is an outstanding lawyer as skilled in the Courtroom as he is at the negotiating table. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking the assistance of a top-notch family law attorney. His work as a Mediator and Parent Coordinator gives him a unique problem-solving perspective that serves his clients well. Similiarly, his experience as an attorney working "in the trenches" gives him unique insight in his role as a mediator and parent coordinator. I would highly recommend him as an attorney, mediator or parent coordinator."

"It is my pleasure to endorse Peter Jameson, a well respected member of the bar. Peter is an extremely knowledgeable attorney. In the many years I have known him, I have found him to be an unyielding advocate for his clients. His knowledge of the law, especially in the areas of matrimonial and family law, is surpassed only by his devotion to his clients and their cases. The matters Peter handles often involve clients in need of help during some of the most difficult moments of their lives and I have no doubt that by selecting Peter as their attorney, they have made a wise choice. For these reasons and more, I endorse Peter Jameson, Esq."
