Brian Petersen

I’ve been working with Mr. Petersen’s office for a while now, and they’ve consistently been professional throughout the process. They always keep me informed about the status of my case, so I never feel like I’m in the dark. While Mr. Petersen can be busy, he’s always responsive. He replies to my ...emails in a timely fashion — sometimes after hours or very early in the morning — depending on how urgent the issue is. One thing I truly respect is that Mr. Petersen doesn’t sugarcoat things. He gives me his honest opinion based on the law and what a judge would likely consider reasonable. That kind of transparency is important to me. My case is still ongoing. Like with any law office, the costs can add up depending on the amount of work required. That said, I trust Mr. Petersen’s guidance and feel confident in his representation. I fully endorse this attorney.

I used Brian Peterson after an attorney I was using recommended him. Brian was very matter of fact with me from the start. He explained my options to me and gave his opinion on what my odds were. He always presented my options to me and let me decide which route I wanted to take. I found him to be ve...ry prepared, professional, and extremely savvy in the court room. He was able to read the room and adjust his approach accordingly. I would and have recommended Brian to others.

I have been going thru a difficult divorce trial. I was referred to Brian Petersen by my Legalshield service. Legalshield has recently removed the Edwards and Petersen from their referral system due to the complaints I made to them about Brian Petersen. This firm requires a 5K deposit balance to be m...aintained so they can draw from it at will. I revised our contract to reflect that I would deposit to my account as needed. Brian accepted the revision and I made the 5K deposit. I had a Temp Orders hearing in which Brian was to seek temp orders for alimony as all my resources were taken from me by my ex husband. Well he failed at the temp orders hearing. The judge failed to make a decision. Brian never even question my ex on the stand he did not manage the time proficiently. After that I paid another 2K. Due to what happened to me Brian said he would give me time to come up with more money for him since my trial was not until the end of May. Although this was devastating too me as I needed to figure out how to survive but I was working on getting Brian thousands more before trial. During this time Brian was able to agree with the other attorney that I could have my clothes and personal belongings as they were all taken from me. Well Brian set up a meeting in which I had to get a Uhaul and pick up my stuff. I was only given junk from my exes storage and not my stuff at all. Brain said before that if this happened he would file an injunction. When I reported to him what happened he said there was nothing he could do and blew me off. I know now it was because I didn't have more money for him to file the injunction. Also after the failed Temp Orders hearing Brian kept asking him to let him withdraw from my case. He said he would take it again after I came up with more money but I would not consent to this as at this time I was starting to not trust him. He sent a threating letter all the sudden demanding that my new balance of over $1300 be paid and my account be brought to a 5K balance or he was withdrawing. He called me and was very demanding and threating. When I reminded him that we revised our contract he became upset. He gave me a week to pay the 1300 and basically asked me to submit a proposal when the rest could be paid and he would discuss it with his partner Edwards. It seemed that Edwards was pressuring him to not honor our revised contract. After telling him when I could pay the 1300 and asked him to honor our contract he gave me the remainder of that week and then withdrew. Both lawyers at this firm have been removed from the Legalshield referral list due to how they have treated me. If you have unlimited resources than this firm will prob help you. If not they will take all you have and leave you hanging. I am filling a bar complaint in two counties due to Brain not honoring our contract and his failures. I will follow up on this site as I get results with that. Also when I had to drive 5 Hrs to pick up my file I called the firm to let them know I would be 10mins late due to traffic. Mr Edwards was very cruel and said he would not wait one min longer than 5:05PM. I had to sleep in my car over night to get my file from them due tom this. Please beware of Brian Petersen. If you don't have unlimited resources he will turn against you and take all youre money and leave you hanging with youre case.

Our son had a dispute with an ex-girlfriend over a property they owned together. She had him removed from the home, then months later demanded he remove himself from the deed and was threatening to sue him for half of the household expense for the past six months. We needed to know the possible outco...mes and options and advice on how to proceed. Brian really made the situation clear, and helped us decide on how to move forward with peace of mind.
