Great Divorce Attorney

Noah took on a very very complex case of mine. We went threw order of protection to settlement or attempt there of out of court. Noah was there to help keep me in check and gave me a dose of reality when the law seemed so unfair and one sided. I would highly recommend him as a divorce attorney.... He won in my favor every time my ex called me into court with an emergency summons.

Exceeded all expectations

Mr. Peterson exceeded all my expectations in his representation of my case. He is professional, yet able to handle my ex husbands rude, dishonest, snake of an attorney without hesitation. Mr. Peterson grasped the facts of my case quickly, and worded the motions and responses perfectly. He handled ...settlement negotiations swiftly, did not waste time on rediculous offers, or hesitate in taking my case to court. In court he was prepared and quick to respond. Mr. Peterson had filed and prepared every request of the court, and pointed out to the judge that the respondent had not. He has a charming demeanor that is balanced perfectly with the confident, aggressive representation that is necessary to prevail in litigation.

Family Matter Divorce

Noah represented me in my Family Matter Divorce and was outstanding in all respects; advocacy, costs, and attentiveness. Every single time I called he took my call; most exemplary! Mr. Peterson supported me legally and personally; you know he will go beyond expectations of support. I would give him T...en Stars if able. I am an exceedingly satisfied client and most appreciative for Mr. Peterson’s expertise and doggedness!

Client

Noah was very helpful and honest throughout my case. He was always easy to contact and conscience of my personal needs. His advise was always in the best interest of myself and children. I would recommend his services to any of my family or friends, with no hesitation. I am grateful for his services ...and advise. Without his assistance, I am unsure my divorce would have resulted in such a positive resolution. Thank you Noah!
