Jake has renewed my faith in the judicial system. He made me feel confident, and fully capable of winning my case. Jake was always proficient in all our sessions.

Work Comp Review

Jake is a great lawyer. He is very understanding and definitely makes the whole process very easy for the client. Jake makes sure to keep his clients informed in all that is going on with the case. He is a very caring attorney.

Best Attorney to work with.

Jake did an amazing job at making things easy to understand the entire time working with him. He was very knowledgeable and it was wonderful to not have to worry about my work comp case through the entire process. It was very obvious that he cared and still cares about my past, current and future med...ical care/needs. I am 100%+ satisfied.

Great Attorney to work with

We hired Jake Peters for a workcomp case for my mom. He was great to work with, guided us every step of the way. Jake was always available if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend Jake if you need a workcomp/personal injury attorney.

Very satisfied

I found Jake to be quite thorough. He kept track of all my Dr. appointments, contacted me before every appointment and met with me after every appointment, coached me through the deposition, very thorough, and I couldn't be happier with settlement. I'd recommend Jake to anyone who needs his expertise....

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.
