Do not use this man at all ever!!!! Do your research! He's got MANY complaints flied against him!!!! He has my divorce papers since May 28,2019 and for 4 months all I do Is text, call and leave messages BEGGING him for MY papers back so I can go elsewhere, he REFUSES to answer me and give me my paper...s back!!!!

Unreliable attorney that is difficult to reach

I hired Attorney Peter Rand in November, 2018 to evict tenants from my rental property. He was very late in filing court papers. He is very difficult to get a hold of and he didn’t notify me of date, time and address of court appearance. On court day he was over an hour late. Judge sided favorably fo...r defendants as a result. He promised to file eviction paperwork with sheriff but didn’t follow through. Do not hire this attorney. He’s not reliable and you will be dissatisfied with results.

Replied last February 22, 2019

I normally would not respond to something like this, but the factual inaccuracies are too much to ignore. A full trial on the merits of the case was had, and the judge did in fact issue a warrant of eviction and substantial money judgement to the client. Warrant of eviction was processed and money judgment entered. The client's expectation of when the sheriff might be able to process the eviction may have been unreasonable, and we regret that the client misunderstood the eviction process. We will take this opportunity to ensure that going forward our clients have a clear understanding of eviction procedures, and look forward to serving their legal interests.

Excellent

I am a current client of Peter Rand. He has done amazing work regarding my case. Yes, I become a nerve wreck and ask a lot of questions, but he manages to answer and take the time to explain everything detail in the case .. I am currently still a client of his and so far he has done his job wonderful...ly.. I am very happy of having as a lawyer. He’s very confident .

Review

I recently hired Peter Rand and he took my 3500 and didn't do anything for me. He said he wrote up a motion and submitted it to the courts but when the judges decision came none of the evidence that he had in his paperwork was looked at by the court. I told him to just reread the judges decision it c...learly indicates that his petition and any papers submitted therewith were wholly insufficient to prove anything which proves the judge never saw it. I called him numerous times and he never calls back. When he did he said"You paid me to draft an affidavit.  We did. It’s stamped received by the court. I don’t control what the court does or what they decide. Results are never guaranteed. That’s litigation. I never saw proof that it was stamped but there is proof that it wasnt submitted and not in my file. I lost a case that was a slam dunk.  I asked for a refund and he is now giving me the run around.
