Attentive, patient and wonderful!

I hired Peter to represent me throughout the immigration process. He was wonderful at every stage and not only answered all my questions but did so extensively, and thoroughly and with patience and warmth. He is extremely responsive and has a wonderful process. Highly recommend!!

Posted by Sumeet | September 04, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Immigration

Excellent immigration attorney, Highly recommended!

I sought Peter's legal opinion initially as a green card holder because I found myself in a messy legal situation that could have lead to my getting deported. 1 year later I hired Peter again to help me with renewal of my green card. Peter is extremely KNOWLEDGEABLE and PROFESSIONAL. His legal advice... played a big role in my not accepting the right plea deal so as to not jeopardize my legal status. He gave me a good idea of what to realistically expect (range of possibilities). In my case, everything went well and the outcome was the best possible outcome. More importantly though, I could tell that he truly cared about you as a client and as a person. I can't thank him enough and, of course, I highly recommend Peter.

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.
