How well did Peter Amuso do his job

I was in the middle of settling my case when my lawyer became a judge & I needed to get a new lawyer. Peter came on board in the middle but assessed the situation quickly & was prepared when the court date arrived.He knew how the township police worked,the judge,etc. & was able to get us what we want...ed.The case was continued a couple of times & each time Peter attended the hearings with positive results. The case was dismissed,as he predicted it might be,& we did not have to attend the last court hearing.

Posted by Andrew | September 10, 2012 | DUI & DWI

I highly recommend Peter Amuso, especially for a DUI.

Peter represented me in my recent DUI. I had trouble finding an inpatient rehab program that I could check myself into. This attorney stepped in and worked to find a program. He then presented evidence to the court of my completed treatment, which gave me credit against my sentence. I was able to... avoid jail, the shame of going to jail and having jail time on my record.

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.
