Awesome Lawyer!!

Jake is an outstanding lawyer. He takes the time to listen to your case and makes you feel comfortable through the whole process. Jake is extremely thorough, organized and quick to answer any questions along the way. I felt very secure with my case in Jake's hands.

Great Experience

Jake was recommended by a family friend. He was very honest,down to earth and explained things in a way that I felt comfortable with. I felt like he always had my best interests in mind and he kept me up to date and the decisions were left to me. I highly recommend Jake for any workmans comp issues....

workers compensation

Jake has been a great source of knowledge and comfort for us and especially me in the last two years. He is very straightforward, honest and very knowledgeable. We have had previous experience with Jake and another attorney in this firm and they were not only nonjudgmental and supportive but of goo...d character and ethics. When ever questions arose, Jake and his staff were there to answer them. They dealt with aspects of this case so that I could concentrate on healing. Jake is excellent at keeping clients informed which did decrease anxiety about the case at hand. Other than during deposition I never had to deal with the insurance company's lawyer and Jake was there to make sure I was treated fairly. I have recommended this firm in the past and will continue to do so. I simply cannot think of all the amazing things Jake is responsible for.

Worked for me

Jake has been irreplaceable. On my side and my best interests in mind . Any time I have any type of legal question I call him for a referrance or advice. He made sure I got my medical care and pay for work comp and all around looked out for me. Thanks Jake!

Great Experience, Top Notch

From the time my wife and I met Jake Peters we knew he was the lawyer for us. He stressed from the beginning what was in my best interest after listineng to our concerns. He continued to fight for not only the medical attention I needed, but to make sure I was compensated fairly. I strongly recommend... him to anyone who appreciates an honest, straight forward man that continues to keep your best interest in mind until the end.

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.
