Peter L Vestal

I believe Vestal attempted (partially succeeded) to leverage our case against us. I am adamant this attorney and his firm Niesar & Vestal be avoided at all costs. Vestal ruins families. CA BAR should do a deep dive. Unfortunately, I lost my ability while hiring replacement attorneys and dealing wit...h the case. Vestal is more of a threat than your opposing attorneys.

"...We had an important case coming to an end, and it took up all of our resources..." Well, Peter, then maybe you should not have taken our case, and our money. When your attorney John Kelly submitted his papers to Judge Appel and was ridiculed by him in public, his loss of face was not the most s...ignificant damage. We have lost almost everything, and continue to suffer today trying to fend off people that stole from us! If you charge a person for legal service, and charge them to collect information that exonerates them and identifies the bad guys, maybe your firm could use them in court when they were needed and could provide benefit? If you were "too busy," the honorable and ethical thing to do would have been to tell us so that we would have been able to secure other counsel, which was no longer available after your mistake. I respected your admission to what happened, and we agreed try again. But, you did not offer to fix the huge negligent error, and continued on the same path which damaged us so severely before. You made us look bad to the judge, and denied us the ability to garner good cousel subsequently and reverse the impression YOU made. Not only did you fail to help us, you destroyed us. Our losses are huge. This has only exponentially damaged me and my family, financially and psychologically. We continue to be punished by criminals. I would advise potential clients to run away from this firm. Completely unethical and immoral. Unbelievable.
