A trust attorney you can trust

Well versed in trusts if you aren't too up on the subject he will help you along to understand it in terms that make sense to the average person. Nice person too easy to talk to.

Kind, compationate, efficient, knowlegeable

Our son passed away while living in Playa Vista, Los Angeles. We live in Canada. Different country. Different laws. Different everything. Finding Peter was a godsend because he basically took care of everything (representing us in Court, filing all the necessary paperwork, etc,) so we could return ho...me to our other children. He counseled & guided us every step of the way; answered every questions we had; did all the heavy lifting to lessen our burden. Peter is considerate, compassionate, knowledgeable, kind, and efficient. Losing a loved one is always a difficult. Losing a child is unthinkable. Having to deal with the grief AND legal procedures in another country, a nightmare. One that Peter walked us through. We cannot thank him enough!

Travis's Review

Peter Vittas has represented me now for nearly four years, and finally the case has reached it’s conclusion. It has been very difficult, and for far too many reasons to go into in depth. Through it all, however, Peter has acted with honor and integrity, and remained thoughtful and meticulous to detai...l. In the beginning, there was no way to see the litigation becoming as complex as it did for my case, but Peter remained steadfast in his ability ‘to do the right thing’, even when the situation became highly emotional and the Court itself, erratic – which is putting it as mildly as I can. Peter came to me as a recommendation from my Trust attorney Kayvon Sarraf, with Vanguard Legal. Even after a courtesy call with Kayvon, I knew my case was going to be difficult. Keeping a cool head while enduring the sudden loss of a Partner, and father to children who have not yet reached adulthood is never, ever easy. Foremost, I commend Mr Vittas for keeping my emotions in check throughout the process, and helping me to make rational, objective decisions. Early on, we agreed to stay as close to the facts of the case as we possibly could, and to act with honesty and transparency. This became increasingly challenging with the erratic behavior of the Orange County Court, where it seemed the only way to make any tangible progress was to file emergency petitions – which can quickly and easily become abusive and quite damaging to the overall legal process. Thus can I say it was the Courts themselves that stemmed the vast majority of our problems, with crack 24-hour rulings that really needed a full hearing or trial to be properly considered. In addition, Mr Vittas needs additional credit for agreeing to step into and help in territories that were not in his area of expertise. While the primary matter was for a Trust and Estate, as there were minor children involved, the case inevitably dipped into family law. Mr Vittas helped represent me in a child support case as the family situation continued to evolve. Certainly, this pushed Mr Vittas outside of his comfort zone, yet he still remained helpful to me throughout this extension to the larger estate process, and of course offering valid references to other attorneys and resources that I might utilize along the way. While the resolution to my case was disheartening, I know for certain that it had nothing to do with Mr Vittas or his firm. Mr Vittas followed procedure to the best of his ability, and acted with utmost integrity throughout, and in a system that – at least to me – felt ‘rigged’. Despite the suboptimal result, I still deeply feel that cool heads prevail, and this attribute should be nearly at the top of anyone’s consideration when hiring legal representation for themselves. For those considering Peter Vittas and his firm, I hope this review was helpful, and that you might strongly consider retaining him.

Highly Recommend!

You will not find a better attorney than Peter. He's very intelligent, he stays in constant contact and always gives updates and he cares. I had the pleasure of having him as my attorney for over 2 years. My case was difficult. I had about 75 other attorneys tell me I wouldn't win and a few that said... they'd try but it would cost alot of money. Peter won my case and he was very reasonable in cost. I'm eternally grateful for him and all his hard work! I can't say enough good things about Peter. I highly highly recommend Peter Vittas!
