Posted by Annette | July 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Traffic Court

I had a health scare while driving which led to me wrecking my car on the way to work one day. Waiting for my day in court, I obsessed over how easily I could have hurt someone. Mr. Decker and his executive assistant Tami were responsive to all my many calls. Mr. Decker attended three court cases ye...t never raised the initial price I was quoted. He has the same easy caring manner that his daddy had. It is obvious that he is well-respected in the courtroom. When my daughter had an accident last year, I never considered calling anyone other than the Decker Law Firm!

Confidence with comfort

The idea of calling a lawyer was frightening for me. I never expected that there would be a time in my life that I would need a lawyer. After speaking with Tami and Pete Decker I felt like a heavy weight of stress had been lifted from my shoulders. There was a great amount of comfort and confidence w...hen speaking with Pete Decker and his assistant Tami. They were very attentive, always responded in a timely manner to phone calls and emails. I had a ton of questions and they never made me feel like it was an inconvenience or that my questions weren't important. I was most impressed with Mr. Decker's ability to sympathize with my situation and ease my panicked and worried mind. It was then that I realized that this law firm is about making people feel better during hard times. I was so thankful to have Pete Decker represent me in court.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. 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.
