"I endorse Peter Helwig. I have known Peter for many years, including as a co-counsel representing employees in employment law litigation and fellow member of the national and Florida chapters of NELA. In addition to having expert knowledge of and extensive experience in employment law, Peter is a passionate and highly effective advocate for the rights of employees. He is highly respected in the community of lawyers representing employees, who regard him as a mentor and role model. Peter is always willing to help fellow employee advocates who seek advice or assistance, and generously volunteers much of his time to Florida NELA, including speaking at seminars. He is consistently courteous and compassionate in his dealings with others, including clients, attorneys, and staff."
"I have defended cases brought by Peter Helwig in the past, and have always found him to be eminently professional in all of his dealings and a highly competent and effective advocate for his clients. I have also referred individuals to Peter for employment disputes without reservation. He is one of the top attorneys in the state who focus their work on representation of individuals in employment disputes."
