I highly recommend Mr. Peter J. Sebekos, Attorney-At-Law. He has successfully presented my VA claims matters .

Mr.Sebekos is extremely knowlegable in Veteran's issues. I have witnessed, first hand, his expertise in the presenting of argument to a VA Law judge. He stands strong and firm to uphold the rights of veterans and their familys. He is easy to work with, he is patient, caring, has a positive attitude,... and instills confidence and hope in others. I consider myself as very blessed to have met and been represented by Mr. Sebekos. I am well pleased with the recent outcome of my claims matters and should a need arise, I would seek his representaion immediately. I simply cannot praise this attorney enough, for In my own personal opinion, he is the Best! Again, I FULLY RECOMMEND Mr. Sebekos . Thank you !

Here is an Awesome attorney!

Attorney Peter J. Sebekos? in a word "outstanding " and easily a cut far above the rest! As a property owner, I have exhaustive experience in dealing with attorneys over the past 30 years and in the end, none would be recommended. But I can honestly say that Attorney Sebekos showed me that t...here are "some" attorneys who really are honest, completely trustworthy and passionate human beings, who can be uncommonly dedicated to their clients cause. Peter called me, listened to the merits of my case and then literally "volunteered" to handle my final appeal (at no cost to me until and unless we won); when no other attorney would take the challenge at that point. I am a disabled Veteran who had exhausted all of my appeals with the military in trying to prove my disability case and was facing my final chance with the civilian Court of Appeals which oversees final V.A. decisions when Atty. Sebekos stepped in. I believe he is the best of the best partly because he shared with me that his own Father had had problems getting V.A. benefits and wasn't treated fairly but, also because he simply has a strong sense of right and wrong and he sincerely empathizes with the underdog. I can not speak highly enough of Atty. Sebekos' character and would most certainly recommend him. Peter is a "decent" human being and I know there is a special place in heaven for this guy. I wish he and his family nothing but the best! And may GOD bless you Peter!
