also known as Laurie Peters & Associates
I was born and raised in Somerville Massachusetts, which is just outside of Boston. I put myself through college by dirving taxi, and selling real estate. I graduated with high honors in accounting, and became a controller for a property management company. Eventually, when the company I worked for moved out of state, I was able to open my own accounting practice.
After one particularly brutal winter, I decided Massachusetts was not the place for me, and sold my practice. I move to California to escape the harsh weather.
Not long after I arrived in Sothern California, I found a law school that would allow me to attend nights. I was raising my children and working as a mortgage broker at that time.
During my law school journey, I received many awards including, but not limited to, Witkin’s awards for having the highest course grades in: Torts; Legal Research; Evidence; and for having the second highest grade point average in my class.
After finishing law school and passing the bar, I opened the Law Offices of Laurie Peters in June 2006. Since then, I have been fortunate enough to grow with a fantastic staff; I could not do my job without them.

For the win
Hired Laurie to help me out with a BS restraining order from an ex. Laurie took it on with short notice, handled business, and got us a win in court. She’s cutthroat and love how she’s all business in there. She’s the one you need on your side. Thank you Laurie for helping me out with my case.

Amazing!
I’m a single mother of two and found myself heartbroken with my children gone. I found Mrs. Laurie Peters on a site called Avvo.

Laurie Peters is a Godsend!
I was about to get evicted from my apt and was looking at being homeless. I was given a notice to pay or move but did not have the full amount at that moment. I tried to reason with the landlord but they would not budge. I think because I had been late before and my dog became an issue as well, t...
