Posted by Laura | March 08, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Highly recommend Pete

Navigating a custody battle is one of the most emotionally challenging experiences a person can go through (especially with a newborn baby!!), and I can honestly say that working with Pete made all the difference. From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind, patient, and professional. He never on...ce made me feel inadequate for not understanding the complexities of the legal system—he explained everything clearly and made sure I felt informed and empowered throughout the process. Pete also has an impressive strategic mind. He understood the realities of family court and worked tirelessly to ensure I got the best possible outcome. The truth is, in these situations, no one gets exactly what they want, but thanks to Pete’s expertise and thoughtful approach, I walked away with an outcome that I felt was fair. What stood out the most was his compassion. In such a stressful and emotionally charged time, Pete remained considerate of my feelings and treated me with the utmost respect. Unlike many attorneys who can be harsh or dismissive, he never once raised his voice or made me feel like a burden. Instead, he provided reassurance and support, making an incredibly difficult process as smooth as it could be. I am beyond grateful for Pete’s guidance and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate family law attorney. I am also very sorry to anyone having to read this review and having to be involved in the family court process...my heart goes out to you.

A Great Attorney

Peter answered all of my questions while also educating me on NYS Laws and procedures in a manor that I was able to understand. He presented me with a course of action that met with my desires and delivered on his promises.

Thoughtful Counsel

Peter helped me through a series of complex family law matters for numerous years, and stood by me every step of the way. What sets him apart from other attorneys in my opinion, is that he gives very realistic advice and legal guidance, and knows the judges, and other attorneys in the court very well..., and they know him to be fair, ethical and he's well respected. I would, and have recommended him as solid representation for family court matters.

"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.

"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!"

"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."
