Absolutely the Best Attorney — Highly Recommend Peter Vasilion

Working with Peter Vasilion on my Order of Custody and Visitation case was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He is truly the absolute best attorney — knowledgeable, patient, and completely dedicated to fighting for his clients. From the very beginning, he made me feel supported, heard, and co...nfident during a stressful time. Peter walked me through every step of the family court process, explained things clearly, and always made sure I understood my options. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my situation made all the difference. He fought for the best possible outcome, and because of his hard work, I now have the stability and clarity I needed for my family. I can’t say enough good things about him. If you need a lawyer who will go above and beyond and truly stand by you, Peter Vasilion is the one you want in your corner.

Worthless

Peter P. Vasilion he's a worthless lawyer I was in CPS Court for something that I completely had no partay in and something he knew I was innocent of and he still failed to help me get my daughter he failed the fight for a DNA test so to this my daughter's been in the system for 3 years since she was... the age 5 I cannot see my daughter until she's 18 because of this lawyer he did nothing he brought nothing up when people were put on the stand he said nothing he read things off of a book instead of reading actual facts of the case so therefore I am going to parte and suing Mr Peter for professional malpractice, he refused to inform me of any emotions that could be served within the correct ample time to get DNA test to fight for my daughter he did nothing he never once called me he never once came and visited me he never once wanted to see me nothing I highly do not recommend this guy I'm sure you're going to get some people that say he's great great that's fine fine and dandy. But in my situation he's worthless and by taking my daughter away from me I sure will be coming after you and suing you in the court of law you bet that believe I will I'll be seeing you soon! I was also unfounded for anything against me I have the paperwork again thank you for causing my daughter for having a father in her life I should have known you were a joke the minute I met you I said that when I left actually to my father that you were a joke but I gave you the benefit of the doubt I even had surveillance that I offered to give him in hand to hand that I brought and he told me no you're worthless and again I will be seeing you in court I'm going to sue you for every penny you have and I'm going to make sure you get disbarred because my sister was there with her lawyer and he also said that you did absolutely nothing to help the case whatsoever

Non-destruct application

Peter was recommended to me to assist with a non-destruct application. The process of handling such an application is complex. Though it took some time to determine the appropriate course of action, Peter maintained communication throughout, providing a clear understanding of our progress. Ultimately..., we successfully processed the application, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Finding legal consultation on this matter in Western New York was challenging, as few attorneys were willing to engage. Finding someone as knowledgeable, willing, and capable as Peter was outstanding. I highly recommend him.

Family court-Assigned to representing my minor Daughter

I would rate him as a solid 4.5 as obviously no one is perfect. Mr. Peter Vasilion had to work very hard and for many years in what I am told is pretty unusual. Our case in family court lasted several years due to multiple things including my choice to represent myself for years then COVID-19 & sev...eral changes in Attorneys involved. I think he was very straightforward and diligent. Even with these special circumstances, he was doing his best of keeping my daughter's best interest in mind throughout the many ups and downs and various Attorneys that were involved with my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Peter Vasilion. I saw his perseverance and professional dedication on display many times!

Pistol Permit Matters

Peter helped me resolve a legal issue related to getting my unrestricted pistol permit in Erie County. He is very helpful and knowledgeable about the process and I would highly recommend him.
