I have offered compassionate care for my clients for over 30 years. I will attempt to help you navigate through this extremely difficult time of your life. I educate my clients about a subject (the law) which they usually have no prior knowledge, so that they can make informed decisions about their future. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question. When I don’t understand something about my car, I usually ask my mechanic. That does not mean I am dumb, it means I have the need to understand and I am asking the person who has the knowledge and can help me. My desire is to be able to help you.

Testimonials

  • …thoroughness, integrity, and quick responses…

    Hi, Peter! I guess we’re all finished, right? Thank you so much for all your help! I certainly couldn’t have done it without you. I appreciate your thoroughness, integrity, and quick responses. I know you could have charged me a lot more than you did. Thanks again for everything–Marcia.

    – Marcia, February 2016

  • …unbelievably reasonable rates…

    Dear Peter – Thank you so much for all your help! I greatly appreciate your efficient expertise, not to mention the unbelievably easonable rates for your first-class services.

    – Marcia, August 2015

  • I can’t thank you enough…

    Peter, I can’t thank you enough for the kind & patient way you walked me through this difficult journey… From bringing out your tissue box each time I’d get emotional, to your ability to take the fears out of my ex’s threats with facts and your smile (a dismissive one!) you truly helped me … in the most comforting ways I could imagine. Thank you & God bless!

    – Celinda, April 2014

  • …thank you, from the bottom of my heart!!!

    Peter, This is wonderful. I don’t know what else to say but thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart !!!!
