This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He is dishonest and untrustworthy!

If I could give him no stars, I would. I was in a tight budget when I hired Peter and unfortunately found a lemon (Peter) on Craigslist. However, he was paid upon initial agreement and did not perform said services; he was caught in lies, and endless excuses. After a year I am still not divorced. He ...was good in collecting the money but not so good and getting the job done. He was hired to prepare all the documents and then file my divorce with the NM court which he never did. The communication with him was very poor. He never follows through. Never answers the phone nor responds to any of my texts or emails. I was very patient and gave him even a few chances to make right and he made it worse. I wasted time, money and energy with this incompetent so called attorney. I will also file a complaint with the Disciplinary Board in NM. He also worked since last year for 4 different law firms. Just an overall bad experience. I don't recommend!

Empathetic, Real, Knowledgable

Peter Horan is a rare find in today's world of attorneys. He listened to the details of my case and worked with me to explicitly identify the fundamental issues in the motions filed for my case. Peter Horan gave me a voice for justice for my child, when I felt isolated and shut down by the by the l...egal "big boys" who took unfair advantage of my situation.

Knowledgeable

Mr. Horan has been working with me since February on guardianship of my granddaughter. He has been so good to work with and knows the law. He is very helpful,understanding, friendly. I would highly recommend him for any child custody or support case.

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.
