Posted by Susan | January 16, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

5 Star Attorney

I contacted Peter Buh regarding a pair of traffic violations I received. Understandingly so, I was worried after receiving two citations at once, having a previously clean record. I was worried that not only would my insurance increase, but that I may be in danger of somehow losing my license. Mr. Bu...h listened to my case and reassured me that all would be fine. He met me at the courthouse on my court date and literally took care of everything. All I had to do was stand in front of the judge and acknowledge that Mr. Buh was my attorney, and he did the rest. Neither citation went on my record. He is a top-notch lawyer.

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.
