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...

Complete Professional that is on your side
I hired V Erik Petersen after being pulled over for driving on a DUI suspended license with out-of-date inspection and emissions. Erik never promised me anything more than being there to help me navigate the courts in order to get the best possible outcome, and he more than fulfilled that. He was a...

Look elsewhere
Mr Petersen may of been a good lawyer in the past, but seems like those days are long gone. Hired him for a civil case and got a very poor effort. Basically just goes through the motions to burn up the retainer and got nothing accomplished. The experience with Mr.Petersen is not much different than...
This review is extremely inaccurate. Without going into detail and possibly violating the attorney client privilege, this client is simply unhappy with the result of a lengthy civil dispute with his next-door neighbor. His legal fees were billed hourly as agreed and all billing entries have been provided to him. He waited almost 18 months to complain about the bills after paying approximately 80% of what is owed. He simply got frustrated with the process and is now venting those frustrations. I stand behind my work 100% and this case is no different.

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...

Great lawyer
I have hired Erik a few times in the past and he has always helped me out in a very professional way. He is honest, fair with his prices, and has always given me great advise. I would recommend him to anybody who needs a lawyer. Do not hesitate to call him...he's the best!!!
"Mr. Petersen is an outstanding attorney who provides exemplary advice on Avvo. I would recommend everyone and anyone to him for representation. Even though I have been practicing fo 24 years, as a judge, magistrate, prosecutors, and in private practice, I learn valuable new information from him every day. A superb attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Erik had extensive experience in the Montgomery County DA's office before going into private practice. I have referred many clients to Erik without a whisper of a complaint."
"I worked for and with V. Erik Petersen, Esquire and found him to be simply excellent in every aspect of lawyering- from being diligent with research, to calling back clients promptly, to advocating in the courtroom with passion and conviction. I highly recommend his services. -Michael W. Cardamone"
