Exceptional

Mr. Peveto handled multiple cases for me, and every single one was handled in a timely and professional manner with the best results. Mr. Peveto and his staff are very trustworthy and I highly recommend using their services.

Best of a bad situation

He is knowledgeable and honest. He didn't treat me like some punk kid with a pot charge. He believed me and didn't judge. Cortney was exceptional as well. They both kept me PROMPTLY informed of my court dates and what was going on with my case. Totally worth the money! Great firm, would recommend to... my mother lol.

No follow through

I was very disappointed by our experience with this attorney. We had a good initial consultation and decided to retain him .I emailed him / his assistant repeatedly asking why he was not listed as the attorney of record. I was told that they would file a document to fix this. The day before the hea...ring they emailed and said to be at the court at 9:30 am . We waited over an hour and he never showed or called our name at the court house as all the other attorneys were doing. He was still not listed as the attorney of record. I feel that we paid for services not rendered. his assistant billed me every month though! we tried to fire him and his assistant was rude and unhelpful. They still have $1250.00 of my money for doing absolutely nothing- I have asked for a refund and they have refused. My next step is the Texas bar association and the better business bureau. Stay away- very disappointing.

DWI Charge Dismissed!

I was charged with DWI in April 2009 in Murphy, Texas. I failed the breathalyzer test and was arrested and taken to the Collin County jail. I spoke to several lawyers and was basically told that I should just plea since I "blew" and failed. I felt comfortable with Mr. Peveto and knew from my initial ...consultation that I could trust and rely on Mr. Peveto to have my best interest in mind. Mr. Peveto did not try and pressure me into pleading out my case. He actually listened to me and had faith in my character. He and his staff viewed me as a person and not just another case. I had never been in any kind of trouble before and was very scared and confused as to what I should do about my misfortune. I had heard horror stories and just knew my case would end drastically. Choosing Mr. Peveto was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Mr. Peveto was patient, loyal, respectful, non-judgmental, supportive, aggressive and protective. Mr. Peveto and his staff kept me informed on all aspects of my case and he attended every one of my court appointments with me. Mr. Peveto won my ALR Hearing, so my driver's license was not suspended. My Collin County criminal case was set for a jury trial, but 1 day before the trial Mr. Peveto successfully had my DWI case dismissed! I could not believe it and was thrilled! I would strongly recommend the Peveto Law Group to anyone! Honestly, I never thought I would make it through the ALR and court process which seemed one-sided, intimidating and scary. I plan to work with Mr. Peveto on an expungement of my case and would definitely refer Mr. Peveto to my family acquaintances and friends if needed.

Good Job!

I had an odd case that I'm sure most lawyers would have ran from or not been to interested in taking. But Mr. Peveto took the case and was very helpful, responsive, and honest. He showed up on time, was willing to time out of his schedule to answer any questions of mine, and was very friendly and di...dn't have the "I'm-too-busy-for-you" attitude.
