A Caring lawyer with lots of legal experience

Jay is a great lawyer that was very helpful in my medical case in which i was charged a dui for my prescription medication.He was knowledagble, caring and truly understood the law and put in a lot of work and fought for me it the courtroom. I would recommend him to anyone with any sort of special ci...rcumstances cases or any sort of criminal defense.

"You won't find any better lawyer than Jay Peterson. He's extremely intelligent, exceptionally good at what he does, and he has more experience than most of us. He's very successful, with good reason. I imagine he's who I'd call if I ever found myself needing a Criminal Defense lawyer in San Luis Obispo County. I wholeheartedly endorse him. If anything, I'd think that the incident of "attorney discipline" from the State Bar back in 1992 or so would make Jay Peterson an even better choice as a defense attorney; he may have a better idea of what it feels like to be in your shoes if you're facing prosecution. Also worth pointing out that that was over 20 years ago, so definitely don't hold that against him."

"I don't know what the "discipline" event was but I wouldn't let that bother you. It would have nothing to do with his skill or qualifications. I do know based on many years experience in our county courthouse that Jay is an extremely qualified criminal lawyer and I would not hesitate for a second to highly recommend him."
