Dream Team of 1=charges DISMISSED.

ANY legal trouble in Forsyth Co.---- ONLY hire a lawyer who works and lives in the Forsyth Co. Peter Zeliff was highly recommended by a very prominent Atlanta criminal/DUI attorney. My result--- all 3 charges DISMISSED. Legal misadventure happens and l felt like the world is ending. However, on...ce I spoke to Peter Zeliff at the office, I knew that everything was going to be A OK. Mr. Zeliff’s demeanor- always cool, calm and collected. Prior to leaving his office, he already had THE plan and a plan B of how to approach the case. This took a lot of stress off the shoulders. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and explained the legal processes in a manner that was easy to understand. He has been practicing law in Forsyth co for many years and is very respected by his peers, even the officers and legal opponents. He is considered to be one of the most aggressive lawyers and the one who doesn’t like to lose. The ingredients of a Winning Team- knowledge, drive to Win, patience, Mr. Zeliff has it all. The office staff is very friendly and his assistant Robin made sure I was updated with new information. She always called with court date reminders and if there have been any changes with the case. The fee was VERY reasonable and definitely worth every penny. Going back to my case, most other lawyers will just get you to plead to a deal. Well, all 3 charges in my case were dismissed. The dismissal was so unique that the court clerk did not know how to write up the paperwork, the officers, who have worked in the FOCO, have never heard of the dismissal ending like that either. The results speak for themselves!

Handled every detail and very professional

Peter understands the weight criminal charges can have on a person, especially for those, like myself, who have never had more than a traffic ticket. He wasn't too busy to answer all my questions and give me an honest assessment of how my case might be viewed within the legal system. The "simple batt...ery" charge brought against me came at a time when I was offered a very attractive job position, and Peter moved quickly to write a letter on my behalf. He was willing to work on my timeline - I had delayed getting a lawyer and was anxious about the whole process. When I was offered the job, I knew a background check may jeopardize the offer. His willingness to give my employer a letter during the background check most likely secured the job for me. This is something I can never fully repay. Subsequently, Peter has kept in touch regularly, easing the burden of court hearings and making sure I know everything he does related to the case. He is a professional in all his actions and shares his knowledge freely. I could not have asked for a better lawyer in helping me through this difficult time. I highly recommend Peter for these reasons and also for his fairness in the costs of services rendered.

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.

AWFUL!!

Worst lawyer I have ever used! I was convicted of a crime on an incomplete police report and mislead by Peter. He is manipulative and worthless. I want my $3000 back.

Dear James: I work very hard on behalf of my clients and have a great passion for their defense. Your review is both a surprise to me and hurtful because I invest my full attention to the details of each case and to the needs of my clients to earn the best possible result. Recently, I was installed as the President of the local Criminal Defense Bar, a position I now hold because the local attorneys that elected me know that I am dedicated to the cause of criminal defense and I am grateful for their trust in me. My clients trust and rely on me to go the extra mile and I eagerly do so. Please do not hesitate to call me directly to discuss your case and your concerns; My cell phone number is (404) 993-7744 and my office number is (770) 887-3720, Thank you, Peter
