Divorce and Separation 70%

We advise the client to allow us to work on reaching a full or partial settlement agreement before filing to save the cost and aggravation of a prolonged contested diviorce. The Courts require mediation during the case, we sometimes use presuit mediation. If a contested case is necessary we have the staff and resources to pursue the goals of our client. We are experienced and handle cases in the surrounding counties on a regular basis.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Petersen is a consummate professional. He is a tough litigator, yet civil. He has a strategy, but doesn't engage in gamesmanship. I hope to have him as opposing counsel again soon. Kudos!"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
