Peter Daniel Antonoplos

My wife and I were canvassing the DC area for an attorney to assist with our estate/trust planning in 2013, and we hired Peter shortly after meeting with him. He was patient as we peppered him with questions, and he was specific with his responses. We were comfortable with Peter. We met again this ...month (Oct 2016) to update our estate/trusts (home refi) and Peter guided both my wife and I through the process -- again, very comfortable experience. I'm looking forward to using Peter and his team to guide us through the process of renting out our home in DC in 2017.

Peter was courteous and more than capable in doing the estate planning for my wife and I. He explained options through a respectful dialogue, was responsive to our wishes, and made discussing death as comfortable as possible. We are glad that his services were fully covered by our group legal plan, a...nd the primary outcome was a long and beautifully bound estate planning portfolio that we understand and are confident in. As importantly, he and his professional staff went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and growing family - a toddler and an infant - with toys (including one to take home each visit), patience, play, and kindness. If more lawyers were like Peter, we'd have to find a new subject for jokes.

Life is a lot more complicated than it was 12 years ago when I did my first will, but working with Peter Antonoplos made the updating easy -- complete with comprehensive estate and tax planning. He's personable, professional, explained everything in plain English and fully answered every question I... asked. Additionally, his questions gave me pause for thought and caused me to really, truly consider how I wanted to do things. Peter very quickly delivered the initial draft -- two days after our meeting. He made a task I'd been dreading so easy. Bonus - pleasant front desk and convenient downtown location.

Peter's advice was invaluable in helping my family navigate the legal steps we needed to take on behalf of my mother's estate after she passed, from probate issues to helping us with real estate and the trusts my mother had set up during her life, including a special needs trust. Peter made what was... a very emotional and confusing process so much less stressful for us. He took the time to clarify each step and managed everything seamlessly. His disarming and kind nature was an added bonus to his expertise and command of the law. We will definitely use Peter again for our legal needs.

Peter is the highest energy person I know. His zeal and expertise in a wide range of divergent legal topics is the best I have come across in all my years of working with top legal counsel. I trust Peter and his team for expert guidance in residential real estate, commercial real estate and estate p...lanning. I have retained his services in the past for all three. I have a great respect for his legal capacity and attention to detail.
