Thank you, Nicholas. I appreciate the kind review and am very happy that we were able to put you at ease. Not only do we work to make sure our clients get the best result in their case, but we want to make sure they know that we will be doing everything we can to make sure that happens. We only hope that helps our clients sleep a little better.

He answered my prayers!

Josh Peters took my case and helped me with a payment plan so that I could have representation. He worked with me so I wouldn't have to miss much work. He answered every email or call and with my case he was able to work with the prosecutor and my charges so that I'm looking at less probation time th...an the courts had previously offered. He went up and beyond to help me and gave me professional representation better than I could have dreamed of. He didn't have to do so much but he did out of the kindness of his big heart! He's the best in more ways than one. He's the answer to prayers! Thank you Josh from the bottom of my heart!!!

Great Job!

I recent hired Mr. Peter for a traffic incident earlier this year and I'm very pleased with his work and efforts to assist me. The process was easy and painless and I ended up not having to pay that much nor have a serious charge on my record. Thank you again, I'll definitely refer anyone I know.

Best attorney in town. The one to call.

I would recommend Josh and his team to anyone. He handled my cases like a professional. He explained the charges, possible outcomes and delivered. While some attorneys I had talked to tried to intimidate me with exaggerated penalties in order to get my business, Josh was busy trying to get charges... dropped. If you call anyone else, you're making a mistake. Should I have issues in the future, Josh would be my goto attorney.

Excellent Service

Josh and his employees were beyond helpful and made our situation very painless. Josh was honest about what was the worst that could happen, however after working so diligently and really hard on our behalf. I am not basing our review or opinion on one experience but other experiences as well. Won...derful attorney no regrets whatsoever. He’s the attorney you are looking for.

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.
