Hire Peter J Wifler !!!

Peter was professional with timely and experienced advice, counsel and direction. Easy to work with, good listener with the ability to see the whole picture while reducing my emotional levels throughout the litigations with pointed legal guidance and information. I would definitely want him in my co...rner again!!

Strong recommendation for Pete Wifler

Sound, balanced counsel from Pete during my divorce proceedings. Level headed and friendly with minimal emotion, while coaching me with how absurd, unreasonable, and emotional the other side would be. Knew tactical moves and positioning very well - for me and what my ex-wife would try (via her attorn...eys). Very comfortable in knowing he represented me. Never felt he was trying to drive up billable hours. Happy I hired him.

Trustworthy, Level-Headed

This attorney was knowledgeable and, most importantly, transparent. He didn’t frivolously charge me for every single, tiny interaction (although he isn’t cheap either)... but my ex-husband’s attorney didn’t! You get what you pay for. He was also honest with me about his knowledge in regards to opposi...ng counsel for my divorce. He allowed me to be involved in editing documents as I felt comfortable, carefully reviewing them after the fact to ensure that they were realistic and enforceable. He was quick on his feet in helping me get out of a very tough spot, especially upon initial consultation. In fact, he had an emergency document drawn up for me within an hour! I walked away from my divorce with my sanity and proper child-support/parenting time of my child without having to go to court (all settled between the two attorneys). He comes across as fair, realistic, and level-headed.

Professional & Trustworthy

I was extremely pleased with Peter's representation of my interests during my divorce. Peter was reliable, professional, trustworthy and always looked out for my best interests. I would strongly recommend Peter to anyone seeking counsel in a family law matter.

Highly recommend/Great lawyer and person

Peter helped me with my divorce. It was a very hard time for me, but Peter was very good at dealing with everything. He was compassionate, but also knew when to push me to protect myself. He is incredibly good at what he does. He was recommended to me by another client of his who also had a great ex...perience. I'm blown away by his tact, smarts, and decency. He will push for what's right and fair and he will get it...and then some. Divorce is so hard, but Peter really made it less painful. I felt protected and walked away better than I ever expected. I can't thank him enough. I HIGHLY recommend him.

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.
