Excellent Attorney with Integrity

Being sued frivolously is a stressful experience for anyone, but Keith Peterson made a difficult situation bearable. After being served with the lawsuit, I hired Keith Peterson on the advice of an acquaintance who is also a lawyer. His wise counsel allowed my wife and me to have peace of mind as h...e guided us through the process. When meeting with him or talking to him on the phone, we never felt rushed. He took the time to explain each step and advise us on our best course of action. Ultimately, the case went to mediation, and, in accordance with our wishes, was resolved as quickly as possible. Months later, when I came to him on a complicated intrastate inheritance issue, he was able to advise my family’s Louisiana counsel on how to proceed. Much to my surprise and appreciation, he provided this excellent service for free! The Louisiana counsel followed his instructions to a tee and was able to get the inheritance distributed without any problems. I really can’t recommend this attorney enough. If you need a lawyer who knows the law and serves his clients with skill and integrity, Keith Peterson is your guy!

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.
