Great people to work with!!

First class operation led by my man Alex. He not only will work hard and listen to all your crazy thoughts, but may tell you about interesting types of music he is into! The staff is very friendly and supportive: Jenna, Katie L., and others.. (not great with names!) I have worked with several other lawyers in this field and they are the best by far!!

Amazing

Posted by

Alex and his team are the best - professional, sincere, and diligent. Alex thoroughly cares about his clients and their children. I cannot say enough great things about him, not only as a fantastic attorney, but as a person as well. His expertise in family law and compassion as a person is what everyone needs when hiring an attorney. He is outstanding in the courtroom as well!

The world needs more Alex Petersons in the legal system!

Posted by

Alex is a humble and energetic lawyer who represents justice and the rights of children as his top priority. He selflessly represents families through perseverance and truth. His words and actions demonstrate a keen understanding of Family Law and how to execute it ;whether he is in the office or the courtroom. Alex is an excellent communicator and advocates for the greatest outcome. He reminds me of my dad ,who is a retired lawyer. He combines the balance of the art and science of practicing law. Great lawyers have passion and respect for humanity. Abraham Lincoln once stated,"Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality...Commitment is the stuff character is made of;the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism."

Best Family Law Attorney Around

Posted by

I am a lawyer and I never realized what a daunting task it is to find the right lawyer for my divorce. I met with over 10 family law attorneys. The only attorney that seemed to really care and told me information that I needed was Mr. Peterson. He was very knowledgeable and was intent on getting me the best outcome without burning all my money. As an attorney, I was extremely frustrated with most of my consults. Mr. Peterson was straight forward and made me feel good about my situation and my likely outcome. I ended up with a very good result. I could not have been happier.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

Posted by

Given the plethora of attorney options in our area, it was a daunting task to select a lawyer with whom to council. We settled on Mr. Peterson based on his client reviews and the impression we felt having read his profile and mission statement of the law firm on his website. It turns out we made an excellent choice! I cannot give enough praise for this compassionate, intelligent, service- oriented legal professional. After retaining his services, we were made to feel our case was of utmost importance. I would highly recommend Mr. Peterson and his helpful, caring staff for anyone in need of legal council in the area of family law.

Thank you

Thank you for helping a friend of mine thought what has proven to be a miserable time in his life. According to him, you were able to fully understand the problem and the situation he found himself in and then suggest ways to improve it or even make it go away. He will not hesitate to recommend your firm to anyone he thinks could use your services. Thanks again, Al

It was for me a success have engaged the services of lawyers of the firm "Paterson Family Law", from the first day they placed a lot of trust in me, kept me informed of everything that happened during my divorce which lasted almost eight months . and they gave me tranquility despite how complex was the process. I want to thank wholeheartedly the professionalism and interest shown throughout the process, compliance in all appointments and very successful in making decisions. I dare recommend them because they had an experience with this firm and demonstrated their professionalism throughout the case.

My experience

Posted by

My experience with Alex Peterson and the entire staff at Peterson Family Law exceeded all expectations! After having met with several other attorneys, I knew my search for legal representation was over after my initial meeting with Alex. While he was clearly professional, knowledgeable, and confident, Mr. Peterson still understood that there was a “human element” involved in this process and he addressed that aspect very appropriately. The team at Peterson Family Law managed to make a very stressful and difficult time, for me, less stressful and difficult. I can’t count the number of times, over the course of my case, I gave a sigh of relief and thought, “I am so glad I went with Alex! There is so much stressing me right now, but thankfully my attorney is not one of them!” If you are feeling overwhelmed by the search for legal representation, schedule a meeting with Alex and the team at Peterson Family Law. You will likely give a sigh of relief yourself once you do.
