Chapter 11 bankruptcy lawyer | Apr 02

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known Pete for well over 30 years, the last 20 as a fellow attorney, and partner. Pete's knowledge of the bankruptcy laws and rules is amazing. He is a fervent advocate for his client and will explore every angle to represent his clients. If you or a client/friend have bankruptcy or related needs, I could not recommend Pete more highly."

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.
