Legal Forwarder

Mr. Peterson is an honest and sincere attorney who goes above and beyond for his clients. He provides regular updates on all of our cases and is always available when I need him. In the past we tried other attorney's and no one compares to him and his staff. I have been using him over 20 years an...d would highly recommend him to anyone.

Thank you Bill and MCPY!

Bill Peterson and the MCPY staff took the stress and worry out of pursing our suit. The case involved jurisdictions in Colorado and Indiana. Initially, we attempted to handle the case ourselves. After several months of frustrating calls and emails with the company we were pursing, we retained MCPY. ...We elected to meet in person with Bill (rather than virtually) who clearly explained our options and best courses of action. Immediately, MCPY collaborated with their contacts in Indiana and aggressively fought for our family to obtain an expedited and fair resolution. As a retired police officer and former military, I wanted an honest but aggressive law firm to assist us. If not for the expertise and network of professionals associated with MCPY, we certainly would not have had the positive outcome (especially not as quickly) that resulted from our decision to retain MCPY for our litigation. A sincere THANK YOU to MCPY, Bill and the rest of the staff who helped us.

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.
