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.

"Peter is an intelligent, hard-working and compassionate attorney who is an assertive advocate for his clients. He is also responsive, professional and courteous. We had a difficult case together that we were able to resolve to the benefit of both of our clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"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."
