Peter Culp - Lawyer

I was in need of a lawyer for a personal suit that was filed against the University of Oshkosh. My daughter was being accused of cheating on a test, which did not happen, and the teacher wanted to give her a failing grade for the class. Based on the By-laws of the school, they were to file documentat...ion and allow her a hearing before the board within 10-days. No formal charges had been filed and my daughter was not granted a fair hearing other than the teacher failing her. I needed a lawyer within a short period of time and Peter was recommended by another source. We had an opportunity to sit down with him and discuss the matter and he was ready to take action immediately. Within a couple of days of working together and getting all of our facts laid out. He had paperwork in hand and filed an injunction against the school and with the Board of Regents to allow my daughter to continue her academic career. After a couple of weeks we were able to settle matters outside of court and won the case. One year later, my daughter has her degree and has graduated and is moving on in the medical field and will be a wonderful nurse. Peter did an absolutely fantastic job with everything with only a short time to get things prepared. He was easy to deal with, he was polite and as we got into the process, kept us up to date. He was very informed of the process and what needed to be done from a legal standpoint. There is no doubt in my mind that should I ever need something like this in the future, that I would not hesitate to call upon him. I would certainly recommend for any type of legal matter such as this!!!!!!!!

Awesome lawyer!!

Peter Culp is a wonderful lawyer. He was very thorough and prompt with the whole process of my divorce. Explained everything and kept me informed through the whole process either by email, phone or in person. I would recommend Peter Culp to anyone who needs a compassionate, good lawyer who will go... above and beyond for you.

Child Custody

I hired Mr. Culp about 11 months ago to represent me in a most important child custody matter that is currently still going on but very near the end. I had not, up to this point in my life, ever needed an attorney and was worried, due to the importance of the situation to me, about the level of care... and commitment i could expect from an attorney. Mr. Culp not only met every expectation of mine, he surpassed them all by miles. His focus to detail, his knowledge, stategy, and his preparedness were exceptional. He easily explained to me what every document was and what it meant, he kept me aware of everything he did on my behalf and about any conversation he had with anyone involving my case. Peter made himself easily available and returned every phone call or email i sent him with concerns and questions. There were many and he never, throughout this lengthy process, deterred from making sure I felt comfortable, was up to speed with everything going on, and he was also prompt to give advice. At each hearing, Peter was outstanding and very prepared in the court room. He submitted a written brief for a final argument on my behalf and it was done with care and was exceptionally well written. It reaffirmed to me, in a written form, what i had been seeing through hearings. That he has an immaculate and meticulous attention to every detail. It was easy for me to trust Mr. Culp and I always knew throughout this entire process that he cared and was fighting above and beyond the call of duty for me and my interests concerning the most important piece of my life. I highly recommend Peter Culp as an attorney. I know that should I ever need a lawyer again in my life for any situation. Peter is the person that i will be calling.
