***Found Great Attorney !!! Peterson Law llc

*** GREAT ATTORNEY!!! Very attentive to the case and client in and out of the courtroom. Patient and prompt. I fired 8 attorneys consecutively until I found Ms. Peterson who proved to be very professional and courteous in and out of the courtroom. Rare find when so much is at stake and where trust is... important. Finally after a nearly 3 year attempt to convict and plea bargain, the States Office was forced to dismiss 2 serious but "incredible" charges. We had a judge recused. Overcame Police Officers and prosecutions lies and favored State bias. Capable and competent at law and who is up to a challenge of any sort. Do yourself a favor in that if a Defense is needed then you should call Donna M. Peterson. Thank You Ms. Peterson.!! NOLLE PROSSE MEMORANDUM 02/10/2021

Above and beyond

If you ever have any legal trouble and need to find an attorney that is as passionate about your case as you Donna is that person. Not only was she there every step of the way in my legal process ensuring me we would prevail she proved it and then some not only did she get a a dismissal of a warrant... but was able to get a VOP to a complete probation termination. Look no further this is the only attorney you need Fighting in your corner.

Very grateful

I've been very satisfied with the job that Mrs. Peterson did. She has been very supportive, professional and extremely helpful, every single time I call her and all the times when we have been to court. I'd absolutely reccomend her to anyone.

Prompt and professional

From my first conversation with Donna, I felt relieved that the legal issue I had would be handled properly. Donna communicated with me regularly and explained the process and expected timelines for a court case involving my sister. She was professional and courteous; I would recommend Donna and woul...d contact her again should the need arise.

Top of the Line Attorney. Donna Mae Peterson. Grateful for Having found Attorney Donna Mae Peterson.

I was at the border line of going crazy with worry and anxiety from 5 open cases, no license, about to lose my job, and a bunch of court fees and community hours to deal with. Therefore, I looked online and found Ms. Peterson. A life saver. She is a great hearted human being that called me back immed...iately after leaving her a voice mail. On a Sunday. I told Ms. Peterson my situation and about my various cases that I had pending. Right off, I could sense the experience and knowledge that she carries with her in and out of the court room. She advised me that there is hope and that there is something that we could do about these cases which seemed to have been defeating me for the previous 8 months. Well, one year later, here I am, off house arrest, getting off probation next week, all the cases have been closed and addressed in the most strategic way possible. I will be driving soon and finishing college. I am able to take care of my son and address his needs now. Ms. Peterson will not back down from anyone in the court room and will fight for you as it if was for herself. If you are in a desperate situation and need a serious attorney that takes action with great results, have a consultation with Ms. Peterson and she will handle the case. I am extremely grateful to have found Ms. Peterson. Now I feel like my life is back on track to a success in careers and family again. Thank you Donna. God bless you. You are a God sent.
