beware

Hired Mr Conway for a limited appearance trial that consisted of one day in court because I had very little money. He told me he was the best and my case would be very easy for him. He said I could expect to pay $1000 per court day in a divorce case. I asked would $1000 retainer cover the cost. ... He said make it $1500 to be sure. At the time he collected the retainer 4 days later his bill had exceeded it by a few hundred dollars. I would never have hired him had I know that because it was all the money I had. He then told me he had family coming into town a few days later and wanted to know if it was ok if he adjourned the case for a week. I agreed and then he charged me to do that. He did a great job in court for the most part but he failed to do all I had originally asked him to do which was to remove my daughters boyfriend from my home that was threatening me. He said I would have to file a protection order myself. When asked for a bill he said his system was broken. Then weeks later I get a bill for $1300 more. This was for one day in court. $2800 I managed to come up with another $500 for him but that was all I had because the whole divorce cleaned me out. He then later sued me for over $4000

Very knowledgeable

Peter was excellent at solving my legal issue and was very knowledgeable about the legal aspects I was having with another attorney. His assistant and him kept me well informed and explained things in a way I could comprehend. I will be recommending him to anyone who needs legal assistance and I wil...l be contacting him again if I need any further legal assistance.

Solid, Reliable, Trustworthy - Highly Recommended

Peter Conway handled my recent bankruptcy with expertise and efficiency. Important matters that confused me and were very complicated to explain - he gets directly to the point, explains how the legal process works, and gave me complete comfort and confidence. Very highly recommended.
