I worked with Peter on several business matters pertaining to the sale of goods to South America. He is very detailed-oriented and responds quickly to all calls and e-mails, usually within twenty-four hours. He has a high-level of professionalism and has substantial expertise in many areas of the l...aw.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
