Michael Christian Peterson

I am active duty in the military, based in California, and Mike Peterson and all of Thurman Arnold have done a phenomenal job representing me in my divorce. Mike is a certified family law specialist and his knowledge and professionalism are evident in his work ethic and the results he wins at trial ...(my case was in the Joshua Tree Courthouse). Mike has worked tirelessly on my case and obtained custody and financial verdicts far beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Thurman Arnold and Mike Peterson for any family law matters. He is a scratch golfer too, so if you also want expert tips on the course, Mike is your man!

I received a consultation service from Michael Peterson and I hired him to guide me through my divorce case. He is extremely knowledgeable and transparent with every detail and, prepared all the required paperwork for the court orders, correspondence with the other party. He will do whatever it takes... for you to have an upper hand. Lastly, his rate is extremely reasonable and he gives discounts as well. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

Attorney Michael Peterson has completely handled my case both professionally and effectively. I am forever grateful for his knowledge and for walking me through the process. This was a very trying time for our family but I always felt at ease knowing that Mr. Peterson had our children's best interest... in mind. This was always the driving force moving forward. He was proactive and honest which has been very much appreciated. I highly recommend this law office! The entire staff was always helpful and kind.

I retained Mr. Peterson in hopes of being granted a Move Away Order. My case was/is a "high conflict" case, with 3 years worth of Declarations and paperwork submitted on both sides. This, in itself, can be daunting for anyone, especially being that Mr. Peterson wasn't my original Attorney, and given ...the fact that most of it was done on my own and very poorly put together. That being said, Mr. Peterson and his staff were very thorough in organizing my case file, and putting together a very competent case with the information that was before them, regardless of the state they received it in. Mr. Peterson's staff was extremely helpful and polite, and ensured I received as much help and information as they could provide. Mr Peterson himself was not only extremely "timely", as he would always return my phone calls and emails within a reasonable time, but I never once felt as if I was just a client. In fact, I felt as if I was his most important client at all times, as he always provided status updates without being asked, and his knowledge of my case, and California Law in general, was exceedingly proficient and thorough! I did end up being granted my request for a Move Away Order, but I have to say that this review would have been the EXACT same, even if my request had been denied. If you are looking for a Family Law Attorney you can trust, who will tell you what to expect (even if it isn't what you want to hear), and who will put 100% into your case, then I highly suggest Mr. Michael Peterson!

If you're looking for someone that will know the ins and outs of your case BEFORE you walk in to the court room, Mr. Peterson is the attorney to do it. He is patient, always available, and reassuring with a no nonsense approach to your situation. He will take time with you so that you understand wh...at's going on and are not surprised when you're in front of the judge. I was included in every action his office took on my case and I never wondered if he was going to be prepared. His staff is amazing, too. Everyone I encountered at this firm was a delight to work with, despite the situation I was in to be there in the first place.
