Peter T. McDowell, Esquire

It is our privilege to give a rave A++++ review of Peter McDowell! We have used Mr. McDowell for more than ten years for both personal and business issues and each time received stellar representation. We've used Pete for a very serious accident case, to rewrite our wills, and to represent our com...pany in various legal matters, so his representation for us has been of several different aspects, yet each one had a successful outcome. What sets Pete aside from other attorneys is the compassion and empathy he feels for his clients. It's as if he isn't taking on a "case", but more that he is taking a genuine personal interest in his clients' concerns. Pete dives right into how his client is being affected by their situation and then caringly and methodically presents his case. To see Pete in action is like watching Perry Mason. He's a champion for his clients and is indeed an exemplary representative of the judicial system. We highly recommend!!!!!

Amazing

Extremely competent lawyer with tremendous passion for law. Peter and his team are very professional and actually take the time to get to know you. Kristen was readily available and always helpful when Peter was away. Peter was a prosecutor several years ago, and he knows exactly how to talk to the o...pposing team. He is also a part of the ethics board and you can see how he follows the principles during his practice. Peter is a lawyer who doesn't act like money is the most important part of the case. I never felt rushed when I randomly stopped by to check on the case, or when I came in with a million questions. It's so unique to find a team that treats you with this kind of care and compassion. Peter will fight for justice, and will work countless hours until he feels confident in your representation. He is very knowledgeable and if unfamiliar with a topic, or if there is an unexpected change in the law or case, he will research it until he is an expert. Peter always provided a clear answer to our questions and reassured us when we were concerned. Peter and Tom took a very challenging case and went the extra mile to negotiate the best plan. The client could have faced many years if found guilty. These lawyers know what is best for you and will guide you in your decisions and actions. The lawyers were incredible and did everything in their power to protect their client and come up with the best outcome. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate everyone on our team and I will always be grateful for their effort in the case, and for the love they have shown us.

Smart, humble, knowledgable, always available, easy to reach. Has a very capable legal team.

With the opposing attorneys numbering four (4), this attorney (Pete McDowell) and his paralegal assistant absolutely destroyed the opposition here. The jury awarded us/me more money than what was requested, and the jury wanted to award even more.....One deadbeat opposing attorney was Sanctioned her...e for, now over $10,000, who is now crying to Pete that he had to sell his expensive Rolex watch previously to meet his bills and that is why he can't afford to pay for this Sanction award. Pete put this all together by himself (plus Anna Marie).....All attorneys clients should have this type of an attorney.
