Exceptional Attorney

Dan has provided superb counsel for me for over a dozen years for various issues. In the emotional, sensitive arena of family law he is extremely fair - not a shark. It's a testament to his effectiveness that, after my divorce was final, my ex-husband recommended Dan to one of his best friends when... he needed an attorney for his divorce. I have referred many people to Dan and all have been grateful to have had his representation.

Mr. Peters

Mr. Peters was a vital person for me during the toughest time in my life. He gave me excellent advice and answered all of my questions. He made recommendations to me that he truly felt were best for my case. Most of all, he listened to me and assured me that "I was the boss" and what I decided to... do in the case was my decision. He was very kind, knowledgable and professional. I recommend him 100 percent.

We've found Dan to be experienced, ethical, and effective

I’ve known Dan for 15+ years. He was my counsel in the past, and more recently, has represented my 2nd wife. We've seen him work effectively in negotiations and in the courtroom, including a lengthy and successful custody trial. All of our experience with Dan is in the family law/domestic relations ...area. Dan is an experienced, ethical, and effective attorney. He has solid analytical-thinking skills. His writing skills are impeccable. He is credible in the courtroom, but tries to settle things first if at all possible. He stays centered and is good at separating the salient issues from pesky annoyances that can bog down a client. He is very pragmatic. One thing that's worked well for us is Dan's willingness to collaborate. He will work with clients who want to help with some of the detail work, which can save money. Dan works alone, with one paralegal assisting him. He is not part of a big, high-overhead office. At times, when focusing on another case, it has been difficult reaching Dan for an update. But this is a double-edged sword because he has lower overhead, and you always know who is handling your case. Plus, it means he can keep his hourly rates down. When it's "showtime", Dan is he is totally on his game. We have been privileged to know and work with Dan Peters over the years. He is not only a standout family law attorney, but also a very likable and fair person.

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.
