This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Awesome experience!

Amanda Peters clearly understands the in's and out's of Maritime Law. She did an Excellent job of clearly explaining my case every step of the way. When ever I had any questions or concerns, either she or her extremely competent support staff were there to help. I worked for a Law Firm a number... of years ago. After that experience I hoped I'd never have to deal with an attorney for any reason. They were the one's all the lawyer jokes were made for. Amanda has restored my faith in the legal profession. Not only was she a total pleasure to work with, she was able to negotiate a settlement that was ten times more than the original offer. That was definitely something I didn't expect. At no time during the process was I ever left wondering. Amanda always kept me abreast on what was happening. All in all it was a wonderful experience. Yes I have and will continue to refer anyone that is in need of her services. Thank you Amanda!

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.
