Alex Peterson - Non-Disclosure - Lawyer Review

I live in NY but had a non-disclosure clause enforceable in UT. I emailed numerous UT employment firms with the facts and requesting a paid consultation. Alex Peterson was the only attorney that responded in a timely manner. I scheduled a 1 hr consultation with him. Alex reviewed all documen...ts that I sent ahead of time and was thoroughly prepared on the call. The news he gave me was not what I wanted to hear (enforceable), but he went through each point of the document that pertained to the scenario and clearly explained how it impacted me and why it did so. Finally, Alex gave me good advice on how handle the scenario with my employer going forward. I took his advice and was eventually able to negotiate a compromise with my employer. I forwarded the new non-compete documents to Alex and he quickly reviewed them and gave me his feedback and opinion. Alex was always prepared and gave me straight forward information and advice, even if it was contrary to what I wanted to hear. Overall, I would definitely recommend Alex for any UT employment items. In fact, I have already done so to a co-worker with a similar issue.

Security Hearing

Alex was very helpful in making sure I understood all the issues of my case. He was very patient when items had to be discussed in detail. During the hearing he was professional and with his prehearing discussions I was prepared for questions that were asked. I feel that I would not have won my case ...without him by my side. I would recommend Alex to any of my colleagues that are going through the same situations.

Review of Alex G Peterson

I worked with Alex on about three major issues impacting my employment situation over a period of about four months. His judgement, direction and advice was always thorough, well thought out and, in the end, the right way to go. All along the way, I felt that it was a good partnership. He listene...d to me, took my feedback, and collaborated in my making choices and my recognizing the options which I did have. Most importantly, I had complete trust in him and felt that he had my interest well over and above the dollar and bottom line. His value added to my case was exceptional

Integrity

I have used other lawyers in the past, and for the most part they all suffice. However, the difference is I can truly trust Alex-- he doesn't imply, sugar coat, or play it safe. He is incredibly straightforward. His confidence on the issue at hand is contagious -- I've never regretted listening to ...his perspectives. Strongly recommended. Peace of Mind is priceless.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. I worked for Alex Peterson for approximately 2 years. I can personally attest to his superior level of intuitive legal and analytical skills. He thinks of issues that nobody else does, and then he formulates effective and efficient solutions targeting those issues. His writing skills and ability are of the highest quality. Most importantly he is a people person who will actually listen to someone's problems, thoughts, or concerns. He is an active listener. If I, or one of my family members, was in need of a labor or wrongful termination attorney, Alex Peterson would be the first attorney that I would call."
