Can't ask for a better attorney.

Peter worked with me on two separate occasions. Both times I won my case. I won't go into the details, but they were the sorts of cases that clients rarely get a favorable outcome. Peter always kept me informed of what was going on and is very straight forward; he lets you know where you stand and... what can be done....no BS. He is extremely intelligent and experienced. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone seeking an attorney.

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.
