Peter Ordowers professionalism and integrity are beyond reproach , Peter Ordower is one of the most skilled and detailed lawyers I have ever worked with, I thought it to be a very difficult case to win, but Mr Ordower did in fact Vacate a Ex-pate Judgment against me and did so by taking the time necessary to research the case in detail ,crafted brilliant motions and cited case law which won the case. I give my highest rating and my deepest respect for Peter, he is truly a client’s best advocate, genuine and a gentlemen. My sincerest thanks.
