Michael Christian Peterson

I have a pending case in O.C. and wanted a second-opinion. While I was questioning my choice to meet with Mike on the 2 hour drive out, I was thankful that I made the choice after spending some valuable time with him. He was prepared, thorough, and answered all of my challenging questions. Most im...portantly, I never felt that I was "on the clock." I have met with many lawyer's over the years, and it is rare that you meet one with Mike's personal approach. If you are questioning your representation, put in the effort to meet w/Mike!

I needed to hire an attorney and I needed one fast. I didn’t know where to start, not being from the area. I relied on online research with a focus on attorneys with the experience I needed. The law firm of Thurman Arnold came up again and again. I was fortunate enough to get an appointment within th...e time I had left before my case. After my initial consultation with Michael Peterson I knew I would be in good hands and I was quick to sign on. I am beyond relieved that I made the choice to hire Mr. Peterson to represent me in my complicated custody case. Mr. Peterson was prudent and hard hitting in the matters where it mattered. His ability to manage a complex case helped me secure a positive resolution so much faster than I expected. I worried when the other attorney began hitting below the belt; Mr. Peterson just fought harder. He honed in on the facts of the case and destroyed the opposition even when they resorted to lowly tactics. I give all credit to Mr. Peterson. Specifically, he entered a motion that proved to be the pivotal turning point of the case. I don’t know where my family would be today without Mr. Peterson’s guidance. I’m glad I don’t have to think about that.

I am very pleased I hired Michael as my attorney. From the beginning Michael’s strategy was to come to a settlement based on the case, and as expected a settlement was reached. Michael was always well prepared, and a day before the hearing we met to plan and discuss the case in detail. Michael did... an excellent job in preparing me for this important date, I walked into court prepared and knowing what to expect. In court, I witnessed the top quality attorney I had hired versus my counterpart. I highly recommend hiring Michael Peterson as your family law attorney.

Working with Mr. Michael Peterson to resolve my case was an amazing experience. During such a stressful time, he not only helped prepare my case, he prepared me as well. He is so good he had the judge laughing at the opposing party. He was prepared and effiecient even when new evidence was submitted ...without proper notification. I didn't even need to call my witness. I wouldn't want anyone else to defend me.

Michael Peterson is seriously an amazing attorney. He HELPS you understand the situation and has a plan before entering the court room. I had met with other attorneys that had no plans on what to do with my case, I felt hopeless and after speaking with Michael I knew he would HELP. I am content to... have had him represent me. I would not have been able to do this on my own. My family and I are very grateful to have came across Mr Peterson. I Highly recommend Michael !
