Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I tried many jury trials with Peter and I can honestly say he is one of the most naturally talented trial attorneys I've worked with. He has an amazing ability to connect with jurors, which helps him tell his client's story in a manner which jurors easily understand and empathize with. In addition to natural ability, he truly cares about his clients, which is even more important than talent in my opinion. By selecting Peter as your attorney, you know you're getting an excellent trial lawyer who actually cares about you and will fight as hard as possible to ensure you get the justice you deserve."

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 community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
