Amazing, Conveinent and Patient and very knowledgeable!

We were hesitant on filing a law suit becaue of the hoops and dramatics you hear horror stories about! I can say from the moment we spoke with Peter Anderson all of our fears were gone! I am elderly and I have never met someone so patient and accomodating! This law firm rocks! I am beyond happy and ...if you are looking for a lawyer. You just found one.

Brilliant. The absolute BEST!

My time with Pete spanned about three years. Don't let his youth fool you. Pete is brilliant in his knowledge. He is creative. He is well-spoken! He ALWAYS had my back. I have dealt with Washington DC's best attorney's in the past for my divorce. Pete is NOTHING like those individuals. He's... compassionate, even tempered, but smart as a hawk and resourceful. I can't speak highly enough of him! If you need an advocate....Pete is the real deal. No offense to his present or past firms but PETE is the attorney I would always choose to speak my case. Five stars for Pete.

Our positive experience with Peter Anderson

Much of the preparation of our case from discovery of information through depositions and trial were carried out by Peter. Peter's work was thorough, exacting; and exemplified the highest standards of client commitment through dogged determination and untold hours of hard work. At the personal level,... Peter exudes great personal integrity. He is, by nature, calm and centered, patient and kind. He was always comforting whenever we, as clients, were jittery. Peter is extremely careful, judicious, organized and planful. He exhibited great judgment in pursuing all avenues on our behalf.

More than just results

Mr Anderson helped our family in a medical malpractice suit. My mother was well into her 60's at the time and had experienced not only the loss of a husband but also the injury of betrayal by the hands of those led to heal. She was confused and frustrated and her only real understanding of law was "...what is right and what is wrong". Mr. Anderson helped to ease her frustration and anxiety by explaining the process in a way she could understand. He never made false promises and he was always honest about possible outcomes, good and bad. He delivered more than results to our family. He gave my mother her justice and her peace. He allowed us to properly honor our father by not letting his death go in punished and unreconciled. We were so pleased with his results we have recommended him to other friends and family. Hopefully, he can also help to give them peace of mind.

Excellent review

Mr. Anderson was hired to look into a wrongful death case. He was very helpful to us is n getting the case settled. He pointed out the different avenues we could take and answered all of our questions, even if we called him after normal business hours. He always answered his phone, never allowing a...n associate or secretary to handle our case and always gave us the benefit of his professional advice. Our case was settled to our satisfaction.
