Justin Thompson Peterson
About Justin
Biography
After joining the Florida Bar in 2006, I spent my first three years in general practice law firm handling many types of civil and criminal cases, in both state and federal court.
In 2009, I joined a small and prestigious firm in Orlando and spent a year and a half handling complex business litigation and consumer protection cases.
I started my own practice in 2011 because I wanted to put my skills and experience to work for those members of our community who cannot afford the high cost of an ivory tower law firm.
My mission is to provide high quality and honest legal representation to my clients while working with them to make my services affordable.
In addition to my work as an attorney, I am also a Certified Circuit Civil and Appellate mediator.
I am a husband and a father, and my wife and I are both small business owners in the Winter Park community.
I would be honored to discuss your case and to have the opportunity to share my skills and experience with you. The Peterson Law Firm, P.A. is here to help when you need it.

Excellent service
Attorney Peterson has been very quick to respond to my consultation request. Immediately provided estimate for the service and started working on my case immediately. Mr Peterson is very friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly easily reachable.

"I have known Justin Peterson for many years. He is a tireless, dedicated, ethical, and zealous advocate for his clients. Even back in law school, his organization skills, work ethic, attention to detail, knowledge of the law, and ability to articulate the law in an effective and persuasive manner, stood out from his peers. I strongly endorse Mr. Peterson. Respectfully Submitted, Jacob P. Sartz IV"
