Russ is a people person. That's what it takes to connect with the jury and have them vote "not guilty". Russ fights for his clients with passion and caring. You need not look further. He is your attorney if you want to win.

Mr. Peterman is an excellent trial attorney. I had the privilege of meeting and working with Mr. Peterman this summer and was overwhelmingly impressed with his work ethic, his ability to articulate and present his theory of the case, and his ability to truly connect with other people. Mr. Peterman cares deeply for his clients and this is apparent in every aspect of his representation.

Thomas Peterman is an outstanding attorney. I met Thomas at Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. After spending three weeks with Thomas I found that he fights for clients and is a caring and compassionate person. You should consider yourself lucky if Thomas is your attorney.

I endorse Russ Peterman without hesitation. He is one of the most talented, if not the most talented lawyers out there. He has a unique and brilliant way of communicating his case to others. He is unmatched in his ability to keep the attention of a room, and explaining complex issues in an easy to understand way, which is the most important quality for a Trial Lawyer. Anyone who has Mr. Peterman as their lawyer has the best.

I met Russ Peterman at the Spence Trial Lawyer's College, where we attended for three weeks in July of 2011. At the Trial Lawyer's College, there were 50 attorneys from across the country with exceptional talent and skill. Russ is the attorney who far and away impressed me the most. Russ has so much natural ability and talent, combined with an incredible drive and compassion for his clients. If I needed an attorney, Russ is at the top of my list.

I had the opportunity to work with Russ this summer and endorse him without hesitation. He is a truly gifted and dedicated lawyer who is an asset to the profession and his community. He's also a graduate of the "Milk Barn" at Gerry Spence's Trial College along with me and a dozen other fine lawyers. Russ has the skills, tenacity and heart to take any case to trial and win and I know I certainly learned a great deal from him this summer at the trial college. He is the person to hire if you're taking a case to trial. No question.

I call him Russ, but whatever you call him, Peterman is top notch. I've seen him in action. Russ has the skills that allow him to properly prepare and present a case to a jury. When a jury is deciding the case, it's the lawyer's jury selection and communication skills allow him to get justice for his clients. Russ has those essential skills. I endorse Russ without reservation.

I endorse this trial lawyer. Russ is an extremely talented attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and works hard to obtain the best possible results for them. His ability to relate to others makes him a very effective attorney in any courtroom. I recommend Russ to anyone seeking an effective and talented attorney in his area.

Without hesitation I would recommend Attorney Peterman to any person injured in North Carolina.
