Very professional and competent

I made a mistake and Peter Wolff helped me handle it exceptionally. He got me the best possible result I could've hoped for and was always available to answer any questions I had. He did all of the work and made this stressful situation much easier on me. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

My Experience with Attorney Peter Wolff

My son was accused of something he did not do. If he had the right attorney originally, I feel his case would have been dismissed instead of going to trial. He decided to change attorneys because his attorney wanted him to take a plea. He found Attorney Peter Wolff on the internet. After meeting ...with Peter, Peter was willing to take on his case. The jury found my son to be not guilty. Peter is an excellent attorney who does his very best to defend you. He tells it like it is and listens to you. He is understanding and kind. He has great knowledge of the law. I strongly suggest using him for your attorney. I believe God showed his awesome power in the courtroom and did it through Attorney Peter Wolff.

Personalized attention

My lawyer helped me fight my criminal DUI case. Most times when you hire a lawyer you feel like they don't even know your name. My biggest concern was finding work after my employer decided to cut my hours drastically and Peter bought me the time that I desperately needed to get things organized and ...to gain employment. He supported me and I knew when he said he was working on my case that he actually was. I'm not the most organized person in my personal life, and I have so much on my mind that I have made mistakes with my court case, but Peter worked through that with me instead of letting me drown by myself. It meant a lot to be able to trust my lawyer throughout this process.

Family lawyer | Dec 02

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Peter and I have had some pretty tough cases over the years, but he has always been honest and trustworthy. He is a good advocate for his clients, while being a reasonable attorney who is going to work to settle his cases, if possible. Family law can be very difficult given the heighten emotional state of the parties, yet he always keeps his clients' best interests at the forefront. He has good trial skills, which I have seen him use on several occasions when we were unable to resolve family law issues. I endorse this lawyer."

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.
