Awesome Attorney!

I was in a car accident and the person that hit my car was giving me the run around. I looked Peter up on the internet and read the good reviews so I thought I would give him a try. This was my first decision about hiring an attorney and he was the best! Not only was Peter helpful but his paralega...l, Jessica, was very thorough in providing detailed information. Both kept me informed about what was happening with my case. All phone calls and emails were responded to in a timely manner. Also, any questions or concerns were addressed immediately. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and would definitely refer him to anyone who needs an attorney. Thank you Peter and Jessica for all of your hard work.

Best of the best!

I was the victim of a sideswipe car accident last year for which the people who hit me in a dump truck fought liability. I reached out to Peter on a recommendation, and he along with his paralegal Jessica provided extremely detailed and quality service. They collected evidence from the insurance c...ompanies that directly had a positive effect on my case. Peter also laid down the defense teams complete strategy before the case even started. When the case started he was able to re-create the cause of the accident perfectly in the courtroom, showed where the defendant was negligent, and proved that I wasn't at fault. I pray that I'm never in a similar situation again, but if I am, I do plan on going back to Peter. I'll also recommend him to anyone that is in need of a quality personal injury attorney.

Excellent lawyer!

Peter was a fantastic lawyer. He was honest , he was trustworthy, he was fair, and he was available any time i needed him. He was patient and willing to answer all of my questions, and he worked hard on my case to get the best settlement possible. It is clear to me he cares about his clients and is w...orking for more than just the money. He took the headache out of this whole mess for me, and handled everything. He kept me up to date at all times and gave me excellent advice. i would recommend Peter to anyone with a personal injury claim!
