Carol, Meridian, Idaho

I moved here from California last September, and my Trust needed to be redone since it was not valid here in Idaho. I found Barry Peters on the internet and there were amazing reviews regarding his service. What I liked a lot was that his prices are listed on his website, so I knew there were no hid...den costs. When I first met with Mr. Peters he went over all of my documents and gave me the cost for all of them, and it was extremely reasonable. When my documents were completed, and we went over them, he had covered everything and more. He was extremely patient and made sure all of my questions were answered. I am very happy with what Mr. Peters did and would highly recommend him to everyone. It was a pleasure having him redo all of my Estate Planning Documents.

Barry has vast experience and wonderful, practical wisdom. Couple that with impeccable personal integrity and we found him to be excellence personified. Especially in the world we live, we found him to be a surprising and refreshing value for our time and investment. Our entire family will more than ...benefit financially and emotionally. We are blessed and thankful for his role in establishing our family trust. We stand to be rewarded for years to come, thanks to his services . We have already began to highly recommend him to family and friends.

Refreshingly open direct and organized - A real pleasure!

We searched the entire Wood River Valley, Twin Falls, and Boise area looking for a lawyer to help us; and Barry was the only one we found that actually provided useful information on his website. His direct and open approach to the cost, the steps involved, and the background information for setting... up a living trust made all the difference for us. Barry provided us with the information and expertise we needed in a refreshingly concise and organized manner. It was a real pleasure dealing with him and we highly recommend him for creating your living will trust.

I couldn't be happier with an attorney

It has been my pleasure working with Barry Peter's on my mom's probate. He is always very responsive, thoroughly answers our questions, very knowledgeable and follows through on what he says he will do. This has been an area I knew nothing about and he has been so very helpful. I highly recommend ...Barry for your probate and estate planning needs.

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.
