also known as Pete McArdle, Peter McArdle
"The way that I represent my clients is pretty simple really. I treat my clients the way that I'd want to be treated if I were in their shoes. I listen to my clients carefully and then help them define reasonable goals and expectations. Then I work to the best of my ability to achieve the goals we establish. Sometimes those goals can be achieved outside of the courthouse. Sometimes it is necessary for a Judge to decide the issues. But in every instance, my clients know that they have a hard-working, honest and experienced attorney on their side."

Highly Recommend
Hiring Pete was the best decision I have ever made! The circumstances of my case were out of the ordinary and something he had never encountered before. Before hiring him, I spent three years fighting an ugly custody battle and I had a couple of other attorney's prior to Pete. Within 6 months of hiri...

Has to be among the best in Charlotte...
I'm a stay at home dad whose wife decided she wanted a divorce. I was a wreck and needed a lawyer. Pete was highly recommended by another lawyer I know. He has practiced for 20+ yrs in Charlotte so to say he "knows the ropes" is an understatement. He's direct and honest but not in an abrasive, un...
