Professional

I consulted Peter on a complex family law situation with international nuances and he was prompt in response and professional.

Fantastic knowledge on family law

Peter read a post that I left regarding custody for my child, and I retained him for a while. At first, I could afford him since I did not have any other financial issues. I would have kept him if I could afford it, but life happened. He is very knowledgeable and he is able to break things down easil...y into Laymans terms to help understand proceedings, while at the same time is politely challenging in court to ensure the law is followed, and he fights for what is best for the child. 100% recommend and would hire again if I could afford it.

Poor Decision

A total nightmare. Don’t do it to yourself!! He will take your money and tell you go to court with him. And then he will indicate to you NO REFUND he will falsify all sought of fees from all over to use up your money . Just not to refund you and no service rendered . Please BEWARE .

This comment comes out of the blue as this attorney has had almost no new clients in four years. The fee structure is nearly always a fixed/capped fee, even for divorces, agreed upon at the beginning of representation. Where a "firm" charges triple for services rendered, this office charged one, small fee. Attorneys are permitted to charge non-refundable initiation fees to open a file, but this office does not do that. The purpose is to save the client money yet have effective litigation capability by going to court and striving to win. The retainer agreement provides for refunds should the client fire the attorney, which many prior clients have triggered and got refunds. No court has ever said this office does not do the work. No client ever said this office does not do the work. This comment comes from a totally unknown source and does so anonymously after four years of a national economic shutdown.

Incompetent

Retained him a few years ago. He failed to reveal my truth which would have changed everything in my case. He has no tools and resorts to underhanded tactics that still don't work. Big show and waste of time. Lots of yelling and barking in court to put on a show with no substance or results. All... of that ended up working against me in the end. He's the reason I lost.

I have no idea who this is as I do not bark in court. I make the client's case by way of the filings, and not by colloquy in court. I reveal each client's truth by way of a factual narrative whether in a petition/complaint or an answer. My clients' sides of the story are never hidden. My tools are my twenty years of practice and the development of each case, and none of my tactics are underhanded. My manner is quietness, not "big show." I never raise my voice in court. The substance is a packed and detailed court file and only my adversaries waste time. A lawyer is never the reason a client loses; it is the client, his/her demeanor. his/her behavior that loses. I also doubt this write up is by an actual client of mine. This review describes a different lawyer, not me.
