Clueless

This guys legal advice is based on common sense, of which he has none, not on statutes/case law/evidence etc. Council for the opposition will take him down every time. His is lazy, moronic and incompetent....Not a good combination of traits for your attorney to embody.

"I endorse this lawyer. I had the opportunity to work with Peter when he was appointed Special Administrator in a probate matter several years ago. I have referred several clients to him for trusts and other probate matters and I would not hesitate to do so again. Peter is well liked in the community and I have great trust and respect for him."

Avvo Rating

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.
