Stay away from this Lawyer.

I came to this attorney with a simple battery issue. He was very good in explaining to me why I needed a lawyer and that it was a serious matter. He quoted me for his services and told me it was an earned when paid deal and a flat fee. I wanted to do some more research and wasn't a 100% sure about t...his attorney so I asked if I can make the payment the following Monday or was he going to start working on this immediately and I needed to pay on that Friday. He said he was going to do a few things first thing Monday and that I needed to get on this immediately. I made the payment and hired him. Monday morning I didn't hear from him. He had not done what he promised "first thing monday". When I called him he was at trial and told me he told me he couldn't work on my case all week! My hearing was that following Friday. He told me he was able to work on my case on Thursday evening. I felt extremely uncomfortable and even thought I paid him $3000 for his services I told him I was going to seek other representation and he had not done what he said he would do and failed to tell me that he would be working on my case the evening before my hearing. He simply didn't care and my file looked untouched when I got it back even thought he claimed he had been reviewing it all week. He did absolutely nothing for me and took 3 days to even file an appearance in court. He refused to give me any money back even though I didn't even use his services and he didn't come to the hearing. He is a celebrity on TV, one would think he had enough money so that he can be honorable with his clients but no. This guy is someone you should stay away from.

Experienced, Professional, and Attentive to My Case

I hired Peter to represent me in a DUI case. He took the time to understand the details of my case and offered advice on how to proceed. He was honest and realistic with my options and was able to follow through. Peter was available when I needed to discuss my case and did a great job with my cas...e. His prices are fair and well worth the price for his expertise. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone who needs a criminal defense attorney.
