Posted by anonymous | November 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Over priced and slow

Mr. Certo held up my divorce for several months, failed to correct demographic information on a form after I gave it to him, never explained his fees beyond "I charge $250 an hour" but charged $125 for brief email exchanges (so either he thinks slowly or he types slowly). Finally, on the day of my d...ivorce after 33 years, he expected me to listen to him whine about travel delays returning from a trip to Hilton Head.

Posted by anonymous | June 15, 2010 | Child Custody

Disappointed

Mr. Certo spent more time worrying about higher profile cases than mine. Often going months without even a status update. I often found that I was updating Mr. Certo of the status of my case instead of him updating me. Mr. Certo was over confident in his knowledge of the law and under prepared in h...is execution to what should have been an open and close case against an unrepresented defendant. This over confidence led to a custody case that drug on for 2 years ending in unfavorable results.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Peter for over 30 years. I have always been impressed by his knowledge of the law, his willingness to share it with others, and his earnest desire to help his clients in every way he can. He knows that custody cases can be emotionally traumatic on people and cares about his clients and fighting for their best interests, to get them the best result possible as quickly as possible too. I highly recommend him to you."
