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...
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...

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...
