Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have worked with Pete years ago in the Misdemeanor division of the Defender Association when I first started as an attorney. I also, more recently, have worked with him in the sex offender civil commitment division. He is an amazing mentor and is not only a tenacious defense attorney, he is innovative in working on changing unfair laws by directly persuading legislators. If I ever need an attorney myself, for any reason, I would contact Pete."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
