Dedicated to her clients

Last year I made one of the biggest decisions of my life, to divorce my husband. I have never required the services of a lawyer or legal representation, but Joanne proved to be indispensable during my case. My divorce was unique and complicated; my husband lived on the other side of the country and ...we share a son who is autistic and a toddler. I was unsure of my rights and what course was in the best interest of myself and my young son. Joanne clarified everything; she was honest and straightforward, and gave me confidence in the strength of my case. She never pressured me, but was clearly on my side and open to my ideas and opinions. Joanne never took any legal action without running it by me for approval, and I was always promptly notified and given documentation via emails. If I ever had a question or concern, I could always email Joanne and her secretary and both would promptly answer my question...they are an amazing team. In addition, Joanne possesses an exceptionally empathetic and understanding personality, which made this overwhelming time in my life much easier to navigate. Joanne represented me as if she were representing herself or a loved one; she made my interests and that of my son her own and she worked relentlessly for us. Due to Joanne's efforts and hard work, I now have custody of my son and peace of mind.

An Absolutely Outstanding Professional

Joanne is knowledgeable, responsive, polite, and efficient in her communications. She listens to questions and gives appropriate answers in a courteous but direct way. In other words, she exhibits all of the important attributes a person would seek in an attorney but rarely finds. If you need the ...services of an attorney, you will not do better than Joanne.

Outstanding; pleased to have been her client

As a long-time practicing lawyer in California, I needed a lawyer in Ohio to handle a personal matter. Ms. Peters' work was extremely professional and as perfect as she could be. There is nothing worse than having a lawyer as a client and Ms.Peters' dealt with me without being delayed on her quest. I... would recommend her to anyone--C. Logan McKechnie, Merced, Ca.

Joanne Peters

Hiring Joanne to represent me during my divorce was the best thing I could have done. This was my first experience hiring an attorney. Before I found Joanne, I had spoken to and met with several attorneys where I got off the phone or left their office with a bad feeling. The first time I spoke to ...Joanne, I knew she was different. I cannot believe how fortunate I was in getting it right the first time by hiring Joanne. Joanne has extensive legal experience and knowledge. I appreciated Joanne exerting arguments in my best interest where they needed to be exerted. More importantly, Joanne had the integrity to advise me as to what arguments were not capable of being won where I would have been wasting my time and money. Joanne got me through my divorce with a bare minimal amount of time, effort and stress. In my opinion, Joanne's honesty and integrity as an attorney is virtually unheard of in the legal profession. I would never hesitate to refer Joanne to others.

Honest, Fair & Knowledgeable

We have worked with Joanne for almost 5 years as we have grown our business to more than double in size. She has been instrumental in every step of the way. Creating & negotiating contracts, settling disputes in a timely manner and advising us on even the smallest detail. Her contacts in the legal fi...eld are wide ranging & she is quick to reach out for support in any field if needed. We have been faced with some challenging disputes and with her assistance we have won every single one. Her time is valuable, but her billing is unquestionably fair. This is an important apsect of the relationship when you are a business owner. And, she is "tough as nails"...

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.
