Peter Emmons

I hired this attorney last year to represent me for a simple child custody case and it’s not over yet. I had to go consult another attorney now to get help. I wasted all my morney i invested. The case was postponed 2x before ever going to court last July which was 3 months after filing. The defenda...nt settled out of court but never signed the order. I tried contacting this attorney several times to find an answer but no return communication from him. The times I had problems with anything I had no help. Then the second week on January he texted me one morning which I was 6 hours away working and asks if I m on the way. I said on the way where? He said to court? I was in total devastation. This attorney never contacted me once about this date. The court date was again scheduled 2 weeks later and the night before I texted, emailed and called to leave messages letting him know I had an emergency to deal with. He again texted me and asked if I was on my way to court. How can an attorney be so shallow and not represent a client. The judge dismissed my case that day. Im having to again file the case with another attorney but they are outside this district.

I was taken to court by my ex when he filed papers with the court that accused me of being a bad parent. He was just trying to get out of his child support payments. We went all the way to trial and Mr. Emmons showed the judge exactly what my ex's real motives were. We won and Mr. Emmons was even awa...rded attorneys fees. Of course my ex hasn't paid them. But I don't care, Mr. Emmons taught him a lesson and I don't think he will try that again because he was so embarrassed in court and it was well worth the money I had to spend defending myself.
