Excellent Service and Advice
Excellent knowledge and skill. I called Peter and spoke directly to him. Through a quick series of questions he concluded what my case was all about and it helped tremendously. I loved his approach and professionalism. Great lawyer and I highly recommend. I had a sexual harassment issue.

Rude!
Very condescending and incompetent. Peterhead needs to be more knowledgeable before he runs his mouth! Stay away from this ambulance chaser!

Lacks Compassion, Unwilling to listen and Give options
I found this attorney through AVVO to discuss a workplace matter, and unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. From the beginning of the consultation, I felt rushed, interrupted, and dismissed. Before I had the opportunity to fully explain my situation, he repeatedly asked, “So wh...

Replied last July 02, 2026If you can't say something good about a person don't say anything at all would be my response. I can't spend time on the phone with people once I determine they have no legal case-which was the case here. There were no options for this person. Asking them about damages is a "basic" legal question and quite professional. Without damages there is no legal claim. The persons entitlement to take up unlimited amounts of my time for free I am sure works for that person, but doesn't work for me once I determine they have no legal case. I suspect if I asked this person to pay my hourly rate of $750 per hour they wouldn't pay it or ask me to spend two hours listening to them once I determined they had no claim. But feeling entitled they have no problem expecting me to spend unlimited time FOR FREE listening to them. I am not a therapist, my job is to evaluate the legal claim-which I did in a professional manner. My other 46 reviews speak for how the rest of the world views my service.
