Jim Peterson Jr.

After an emotionally draining marathon of a divorce process that had already cycled through two prior attorneys, I had almost lost hope of finding the right advocate—until I found Jim Peterson of The Peterson Firm. Jim came highly recommended from a client, a colleague, and several other attorneys. I... interviewed nearly two dozen attorneys throughout the process and it became abundantly clear that Jim is in a league of his own. Jim is not just a skilled practitioner of family law—he is quite literally the attorney other attorneys hire to represent them in their own family law cases. That should say it all. From our very first consultation, it was obvious that Jim possessed a rare combination of legal acumen, emotional intelligence, and strategic foresight. In the courtroom, Jim is nothing short of formidable. A trial lawyer at heart with an impressive litigation background, Jim is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom and opposing attorneys know it. He knows exactly when to press hard but has the judgment and integrity to know when compromise serves his client better than continued conflict. That balance—being a fierce advocate while also being pragmatic—was invaluable to resolving my case. Jim's billing is incredibly fair. He was mindful of cost containment at every juncture. Any high conflict divorce is going to be expensive, but Jim took care to only spend time and resources on the things that would directly affect my outcome. If Jim recommended it, I did it. Without question. It is rare to find an attorney who brings both firepower and finesse, someone who is not only technically brilliant but also has a high level of integrity and is deeply human and grounded. Throughout the process, Jim was responsive, compassionate, and unflinchingly honest—exactly what anyone navigating the family law system needs. He's one of the good ones. If you are navigating the difficult and often painful world of family law, there is no one better to have in your corner than Jim Peterson.

Jim is an excellent attorney, able to masterfully navigate both the legal and interpersonal aspects of a complicated divorce. I'm glad I found him to represent me in my divorce, and I would strongly recommend him to a anyone going through a similar situation or dealing with a complicated family law... matter. Jim is straightforward in crafting strategy and in setting expectations. He handles himself in court with a similarly direct style that cuts through the nonsense and gets to the heart of the issues at hand.

I have referred more than 20 domestic law cases to Jim and every client has been extremely happy with his services. He is knowledgeable, can try a case if he needs to, is respected by other lawyers in the domestic law area, and resolves cases for a reasonable cost and without unnecessary expense. I h...ighly recommend him
