In good hands

I contacted Mr. Zeliff from out of state for a DUI case of mine in Georgia. He immediately took charge of my case and worked adamantly to get my charges reduced. The court system( Assistant Prosecutor) in the county which this occurred was very rigid in their processes, for which Mr. Zeliff worked ...through all the roadblocks to bring my case to a close. His drive and professionalism was able to get my charges reduced and close out my nightmare in Georgia. From my experience, I'd say prosecutors DON'T like seeing Mr. Zeliff walk in the courtroom.

Peter Zeliff

Peter has been immensely helpful as i go through the fear and anxiety of preparing to go before the judge on a violation of probation charge. His working knowledge of law and local statutes as well as his empathetic support and accessibility have been very helpful in alleviating the anxiety that com...es with facing the justice system. While i am unsure wht the outcome of what my case will be, i feel better knowing i am being represented by competent and responsible counsel.

The Best Possible Outcome

Peter helped me get the results that I wanted, the best possible outcome. He was prepared and present on every court date. And, he met with me privately on the occasions that I requested / scheduled. Overall, I think Peter did his job well. I give him good marks and would recommend him to friends... and family. Constructive criticism... There were a two occasions when I received hearing date notifications from the court which had not been communicated or explained to me by Peter. This caused some stress because it's very difficult for me to take time off work in my profession. Also, Peter's "bedside manner" (at the time) was not a good fit for persons who suffer from anxiety or depression. Although he did his job quite well, he remained very aloof in giving a prognosis throughout the process and this fed my anxiety. But, his bedside manner is something that I'm sure will get better with practice.

Excellent Lawyer !

I can never thank Peter Zeliff enough for his hard work and dedication and without him I am sure I would be in prison today. When I was unjustly accused of a probation violation, Peter worked tirelessly on my behalf to make sure that I was released and all charges dropped. He treated me with respec...t and even visited me in jail on a Saturday and Sunday. Peter kept in touch with my family to make sure they were up to date on every aspect of my case. After spending a lot of money for attorneys who were more interested in what I paid, it was nothing short of a miracle for me to find an honest, trustworthy attorney who is on my side and believes that I deserve justice.
