Batman Cuff-Links

Peter, over the past three years, helped me get the best result ever. My case has been expunged, and I have been able to continue to grow rather than be hindered by my past actions. If you are looking for legal help, Peter is your best option. I was referred to him, and when I met him, he was wearing... Batman Cuff-Links and a pin-stripe suit. My parents and I left the initial consultation thinking there was no other option for my representation other than Peter Fayne. When I had my court date, Peter presented confidently and thoroughly to the court, working out a deal with the prosecutor that we weren’t sure was the best, but he was able to confidently suggest this path as the best path. It sure was. We couldn’t have gotten this result without him. This experience, in retrospect, is exactly what one should expect from a top-notch lawyer - hard-line advice that sucks to hear in the moment, but gets you the best result. Three years later, my record is COMPLETELY clear. He followed up from the first court date to the last letter in the mail. Just two days ago I got three expungement confirmation documents in my inbox with the subject line SUCCESS!!!!!! When you think of a lawyer it’s hard to conceive of someone who will help you for YEARS after you paid his fee. However, Peter and his team helped me from the first hearing to the last expungement hearing 3 years later. Whenever I had a question, I got an honest response, quick. If you want a hero on your side, go with Peter Fayne.

Peter Fayne is a extraordinary individual. He was hired to handle legal work for my son who was a juvenile at the time and was looking at 30 years in prison. Peter got his sentence reduced to time served and he got an early release. Whenever I needed legal advice, he always found time for me. He is a... remarkable attorney.

EXCEPTIONAL

Peter came to my rescue 20 years ago on a criminal case & put my life back together. Although my life is nothing like it was 20 years ago I contune to use the law firms services for other legal matters.
