A lifesavor at a difficult time

I was given the name of Mrs Petermann by two co-workers who have used her services in the past. They were both very happy with her so I went and met with her. I found her to be very understanding during one of the most difficult times in my life. She did not sugarcoat anything but told me what I was ...facing, what the laws were in Florida especially regarding military law and long term marriages.She was very knowledgeable, always returned my calls and emails within a reasonable amount of time, kept me up to date with copies of everything she filed on my behalf. I can't imagine going through this process by myself. She saved my financial future. I got what I was entitled to and not what my ex thought I was entitled to. I would recommed Tonya, Angela and the whole staff to anyone seeeking a divorce attorney.

My honest assessment: thumbs up

This was a difficult child custody case in many ways. Tonya was honest and about right on par with her estimate of probability of success. She absorbed the information that I provided her with great recall and memory. Efficient and honest feedback about the case and circumstances. On the negative sid...e, the billings were high and there was no hesitation to charge for every action, including some that could have been because of staff delays/misinterpretations or confusion. Although I was unhappy with the overall cost (knit-picky billings) she provided good services, always acted professionally, and I would definitely consider her again if needed (...but hoping that's not happening again!)

Fantastic Attorneys Office!!

Tonya C Peterman and her assistant Angela basically SAVED MY SANITY! I was going back and forth with my ex husband regarding a custody issue - Ms. Petermans office stepped in - and handled everything in a very professional, courteous manner. My case seemed to go on forever with constant changes bei...ng requested from the other side - through it all they were very patient, kept me informed - and the end result being my daughter is now home with me for good!! I can not say enough good things about this office - I would not go to anyone else for Family Law matters.

Top-Notch Family Law Attorney!

Tonya Peterman was referred to me by a co-worker as an exceptional family law attorney as she represented his wife during their divorce (he said she’s an outstanding attorney and wished that he had retained her instead of his attorney). Personally, I found Ms. Petermann and her Staff (especially her... paralegal Angela) exceptionally knowledgeable representing me during two divorces (included preparation of a prenuptial agreement that saved me substantial assets and going to court during the 2nd divorce). In both cases she and her staff provided very professional and frank legal advice to address my every concern. Questions (via email and/or phone calls) were always answered promptly (usually that day or within in a day or two). During one office visit, Ms. Petermann offered and then spent most of her weekend doing some priority work (pre-nuptial agreement) that had a short suspense. Thank you Ms. Petermann and staff!

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.
