handled car accident case with skill

Peter helped me for a car accident in which I was hurt. He was honest and straight forward in the way he handled my case. Even though, the insurance company put up road blocks because of my previous injury, Peter helped me in obtaining a nice settlement.

Excellent Personal Injury Attorney

Mr. Scherr handled a wrongful death case resulting from my mother's untimely death caused by the negligence of multiple corporate defendants. His handleing of the case was professional as he regulartly communicated with me and my family, and he resolved the case with sensitivity. I would highly rec...ommend Mr. Scherr to anyone with a personal injury or wrongful death case.

Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
