Peter's your man

Peter answered my question on Avvo right away. I immediately knew he was the right man to fit my needs. Soon after our online conversation, I met with Peter in his office and within days of that meeting my whole life changed for the best and Peter was able to solve my legal matter. I would highly re...commend Peter to anyone having a legal issue.

Dewhirst review

I have personally and professional known Pete for over 10 years. I utilize his legal skills for my own investment real estate , and refer him to clients , that request a timely & responsive Attorney. If you need an attorney who "cuts to the chase" and assists in getting the deal done, Pete's you...r man !

I always can count on Pete

I've worked with Peter Dewhirst for the past 8 years with personal needs (real estate transactions, will preparation, legal advice) as well as business needs (business formation, contract creation, contract review, legal advice). He is quick to respond to my questions, thorough in the feedback he pr...ovides and, most-importantly, relays the information to me in a way that I comprehend it.

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.
