I worked with Peter

Peter worked on my immigration case and I was very satisfied, he was very kind and supportive. I told a couple friends about him and they are just as much satisfied as I was. I recommend Peter for anybody that needs to deal with immigration headaches 100%

"I have referred several clients with complex immigration matters to Peter, who has handled them with aplomb and vigor. He and his staff have also always been there to answer questions specific to clients of mine in terms of how certain plea offers or sentences might affect their immigration status. I very strongly commend Peter to you as a person to whom any attorney may feel comfortable with referring clients with immigration issues."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
