Focused Attorney

Tonya will be up front and lay your options out at the beginning. She'll tell you if your course of action will bear fruit, or is a dead end. She's seen these cases play out for 20 years, and has a good idea of how a case will end. She won't always tell you what you want to hear, but what you need... to hear! That's a big change, and if you look back on an event, that attitude is what can save you time and money.

Great work!

Tonya Petermann and her staff were very knowledgeable. Tonya was upfront with us from the beginning. She could have told us what we wanted to hear and let us pay all kinds of money but told us what was really in our best interest and the best way to handle our situation. We initially came in just for... a consultation to see what our options were. When we needed to hire her quickly she and her staff jumped right in and starting our case right away. They kept us in the loop every step of the way. We were able to achieve what we wanted and could not be happier with her service. Thank you Tonya and staff for all of your help.

my saving grace

Ms. Stephanie Greaves, along with the entire team of Tonya C. Peterman ' s staff handled my injunction case with professionalism, integrity, and a vast knowledge of what we were walking into. Nothing was ever sugar coated, in fact sometimes a little to brutally honest. Definitely not a complaint. I ...will absolutely use this office and Ms. Greaves in my future endeavors as well as recommend her to all of my friends and family. Thank you so much for all you do and continue to do.

Agree with reviews

I have to agree with the other one star reviews. Not organized, charges were bogus and when I'd get a call or email for something already submitted, they'd add a charge for that too. Waste of time and a LOT of money. She was 45 min late to our meeting with his lawyer too, and yet I still paid for the... whole thing. In court sounded great, then I thought about it later- she didn't get me anything out of it. I changed lawyers and was so much happier. Wish I would have done that $30,000 prior! Her legal assistants are horribly rude and she has gone through so many, yet she allows them to all be rude to her clients.

I'm sorry that you did not include your name in this review so that I could accurately respond to same. Nonetheless, I will do my best to respond.. I have had highly contested custody cases that did not cost anywhere near $30,000! Therefore, I believe the amount you say you paid the office is a little over exaggerated in an attempt to reflect negatively on the office. If anyone from our office was late, I'm sure there was a reason such as family emergency or illness as our clients are our 1st priority! Further, clients are only charged for actual time spent on their case, therefore, you were not charged for the time that no one was actually working on your case! The legal assistant, Angela, has been with the office for over 19 years. Our office does our best to be as professional and courteous as possible, however, we will defend ourselves if we are being accused of not doing our jobs..perhaps you find that rude. We are sorry that you did not attempt to resolve your feelings directly with our office prior to posting your negative review! However, we continue to wish you all the best!!!
