I wouldn't hire him

We spoke briefly and his attitude is harsh and draining. He jumps to conclusions and makes under handed comments. I think he assumed all Americans must fight after they separate like animals when all some want is an easy review of paper work. He's a jerk and likes to pump his chest. Glad I understand... some lawyers are just not as good as others before making a payment.

The writer is anonymous so I have to guess at which case this is. I believe this writer called my office in May of 2016 asking about the possibility of representation. The caller never hired as his case drew to a disastrous conclusion. He contacted me yesterday, eleven months after his first contact asking if it is still possible to retain me as the bomb in court was about to drop. I call this 'snippet' representation as the client snips away my time on the case perhaps to save on fees while the case falls apart. My appearance at the end is supposed to ward off the results of a year's worth of litigation which the writer says is merely 'paper work'. I have had several of these snippets over time: many were lost and harsh criticism was the result. I constantly warn askers, callers and clients alike to retain counsel at the start of a family court case. Many tell me they cannot afford a lawyer without ever asking me what I charge. Snippet representation is no representation and doing it oneself is a guaranty for disaster.

Peter as an Attorney.

The man is exceptional and very straight forward, something which is very appreciated. He Knows What He IS Talking About. Does Not Throw Misguided, Rhetorical or Hypotheticals at You, when He Speaks to His Clients. Spent Over 3 Hours With me Just for Consultation. He Is Worth Every Penny He Gains.

From Disaster to Light at the end of the tunnel...

Peter is a brilliant thinker, he's kind, compassionate and is 100% on your side! He is the first lawyer that I have ever met that couldn't be bought or influenced by the opposing side. When I first retained Peter, opposing counsel called him to suggest that he team up with her to damage me. Not on...ly was Peter shocked by this unprofessional behavior but he bitterly complained about it to appropriate authorities and used this behavior against the lawyer in my proceeding. Peter is available to his clients at all times of the day and night, you literally become a family member. His ability to think outside the box and anticipate the exact legal strategy the opponent will employ has resulted in the complete demolition of the oppositions case. After Peter was done at my trial, opposing counsel, the AFC and most importantly the judge were stunned into speechlessness. Peter is my attorney for life!!

Highly Recommended!

Peter Lomtevas is smart, highly capable and was able to navigate the complexity of my situation. I'd spoken to a few others lawyers who said there was nothing I could do in regards to a divorce stipulation. I spoke with Peter a few times on the phone, he looked at my paperwork, and offered not only h...is advice but a solution, which worked in court. And another plus: he charges a flat rate so you don't feel like the clock is ticking when you speak to him on the phone, which is the case with most lawyers. I can't say enough positive things about Peter. He knows and understands the law and will tell you clearly what you are dealing with—and how to navigate the issues at hand.

I can assure you the government employees and other associated entities absolutely do not like my answers to these questions. I'll have to stop when the First Amendment is repealed.
