Everything I could ask for in a lawyer

Erik was exactly what I needed for the situation I was in. I had no idea where to even begin and Erik took the time to walk me through everything. Timely responses, great communication, a thorough understanding of state and local laws, and most importantly the ability to put me at ease and make me c...omfortable getting through my legal matters. I trust Erik and would recommend him to anyone.

Review of Erik Petersen by Linda D. Sandoli

At age 70 I got stopped in a terrible snow storm and received a DUI. I was devastated and at that point must have received 50 letters from lawyers. Mr. Petersen's stood out. I received a recommendation as well from a lawyer I had used in the past, since retired. Now this is after I made an appoin...tment with someone else. I had a meeting with Erik, and knew right away I was in good hands. He walked me through the lengthy process, supported me, and was there every step of the way. He knows what he is doing, he gets the job done and all to your benefit. I was absolutely thrilled and satisfied with his handling of my case from beginning to end. An excellent rating is really not good enough for him. One of the few that really cares.

A lawyer you can trust

Attorney Petersen is very to the point, specific and has a vast knowledge of how the legal system works. Erik has been guiding my son through legal issues and has not given us bad advice. I would hire him again in an instant. Easy to contact and to communicate with, an understanding lawyer.

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.
