This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Peter Fox is the first and only option

I consulted with Peter Fox regarding a matter with my previous employer. I was able to meet with Peter in person without a fee or retainer which is rare with so many money hungry lawyers out there desperate to make a quick buck. Peter is very personable and makes you feel at ease with a clear under...standing of your case without making you feel like you're asking dumb questions. If needed i would hire this man in a heartbeat you will not be disappointed!

Awesome

He was busy with a deposition hours away, yet quickly responded. I needed to respond to my employer regarding a separation agreement within 24 hrs. He spent 45 minutes advising me on the phone to look at the big picture, rather than a quick fix (that would make him more $), showing genuine concern f...or my long term well-being without immediate secondary gains. Because he was unavailable, he have me a list of several other attorneys and encouraged that I get into see someone immediately. I really like the attorney he recommended. I could not have been more impressed with Peter and would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat.

Very grateful to have hired Peter Fox

I hired Peter Fox and Michael Fox to represent me in a very complex breach of contract case. Peter remained accessible, responsive, and communicative during the entire process from filing to jury trial. Very pleased with his personality, smarts, and skills.

e-mailed response

Peter returned an email to me quickly to let me know that he was busy. Nevertheless, he provided me with some great information that was much appreciated, I understand busy and was very happy that he took the time to respond.

consultation/second opinion on a case

We contactyed this attorney for a second opinion, while working with another attorney. We found him to be forthright, honest, direct and compassionate. He was able to incorporate the information given him, assess and evaluate a very difficult situation, while maintaining a compassionate objectivity.... We were very appreciative of his feedback, which we used to ultimately decide the direction we would take.

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.
