Great work comp. attorney

Jake was hired and he explained to me what to expect. He is very direct. He knows his business and wants to do the work for you with minimal questions. Jake does a great job, you can trust he has your best interest in mind.

Great work comp lawyer.

He was very professional yet sympathetic to my case. He made sure I was always kept up to date on what was happening with my case. I felt that he always had my back and that he had my best interest at heart.

Attorney Review

After continued struggles with my workers comp insurance, I knew I was going to need help dealing with this. Once I hired Jake Peters, I was able to turn everything over to him as he took care of all the commuciation, bills, and issues with workers comp. He was prompt and continually informed me of... the progress with them. I highly recommend using Jake for any services you may need.

Attorney Performance Evaluation

From the very first meeting to our last, the honesty and integrity with which Jake conducted himself was stellar. Never at anytime was there secrets or "strings" attached to the litigation process or the work he did - everything was well explained and/or documented. The professionalism and knowledge ...of the law were immediately recognizable. He listened to my concerns with empathy. Jake is truthful and not afraid to disagree with my perspective and perception. I knew from the first meeting that Jake cared and would invest all that was necessary to help me within the margins the law would allow. I would definitely recommend Jake Peters based upon my experience.

Thank You Jake, great team work

I have hired Jake a couple times and he is very good at his job. He is very good at what he does. He gets really personal, and knows exactly what you want and if he can do it he will tell you up front. He has always done me right. I have sent many people to him and he has always done everyone right. ...His one thing that is required is to keep a open in contact , and be honest because he can't do his job if you don't. He works for you and what you want. I would refer him to everyone. Thank you again friend.

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.
