Highly Recommend Jill Peters

I worked with Jill Peters for a year and a half through a complicated divorce. I found Jill to be compassionate, knowledgable and astute on everything from the nuances of various judges to the legal intricacies of crafting an agreement that provided my children with every advantage they deserved thr...ough this difficult and emotional time. Jill was an absolute financial wizard armed with sophisticated technical knowledge and superior analytical and quantitative skills that enabled me to achieve the outcome I desired in a settlement that was ultimately amenable to both parties. Divorce is a process where some fires need to be fought more immediately than others based upon timing and even random human actions that impact others' safety and security. If Jill wasn't available, service remained seamless due to the accessibility of her staff. I trust Jill Peters and would highly recommend her to anyone facing the tough decision to get a divorce. She was attentive, sympathetic and surprised me with her ability to remember and cite details that were critical to my case during challenging times.

Waste of time and money

I spent over half of my retainer and then had to hire another attorney because Jill was always "on trial" and unable to meet deadlines that she herself offered. We had the same conversations over again because so much time would pass in between when we talked and when she was supposed to produce the ...resulting paperwork. Be sure to ask if she has time for your case before hiring her.

It is dissapointing that my client's expectations were not met in this case in the month and a half after being retained. It certainly was not without a sincere and signfiicant effort to put together a settlement offer within that time. It is important to set deadlines and expectations together, and to understand that divorce is a process that involves discovery and negotiation. While it is possible to get divorced within a short amount of time, do not be discouraged or disappointed if it does not proceed to settlement within a month Divorce is a difficult practice and while I pride myself on reaching settlment in 90% of my cases, trials are demanding.
