Review for Peter Lianides

Posted by

Peter wrote such a good brief for our Bankruptcy Court appearance that not only did we thank him afterwards, but opposing counsel also congratulated him on a job well done.

I hired Peter for another client of mine in a complicated chapter 11 case. I worked with Peter for over 2 years on the case. He had been recommended to me by another Orange County firm. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
