I am so fortunate that Peter just happened to be the attorney that I picked at random from the reviews here, and elsewhere. I’ve worked successfully, and for a number of different issues, with other attorneys, but weren’t impressed enough to go back to them when my elderly mother needed help with estate planning and loan consolidation. Peter handled her issue with great tact and diplomacy. She is 82 years old, but lucid. A little deaf, a little slow, at times, but capable of understanding what is going on as long as it is explained to her clearly and slowly. I could not have asked for a better attorney than Peter when it came to interactions with my mother. For someone who is constantly on the move, doing twenty things at once, Peter is remarkable when it comes down to taking time to ensure that his clients understand fully what is being done and what they need to do. Don’t let Peter’s multitasking mislead you! This man can literally do ten or twelve things at once and do them all thoroughly and completely! I will admit it took a while for me to understand this 🙂 The guy doesn’t miss a thing, no matter how preoccupied with other things it may appear. He was great with my mother’s case. In addition, I happened to mention, in passing, ongoing problems I was having with my former mortgage holder, despite reaching an agreement last year. Peter’s face actually lit up as I explained how my lender was leaving me in a very difficult situation, despite our previous agreement. I have since realized that, although Peter does not actually jump on a white horse and charge out to defend the poor and downtrodden, he has very little patience with entities who use their power to undermine agreements and to put their own onus of responsibility on the individual, assuming that the individual will not have the resources to fight them. Between Peter and David, four different entities associated with the situation were called to order, and I ended up receiving every thing I requested — working on a contingency basis, no less. It has been my experience that attorneys acting on a contingency basis, are sometimes less likely to keep you as fully “in the loop” as their paying clients. This was not the case with Peter. I was informed of due dates and given heads up when these due dates had to be extended. I appreciate this courtesy more than I can say. Peter also went out of his way to ensure that I was not charged for items I could not pay while this case was being negotiated. I simply could not have asked for better representation, for either my mother or for myself, than I received from Peter. So, like it or not, Peter, you are now our family attorney! Although I promise to wait at least a couple weeks before calling you with more questions 🙂 In all seriousness, you simply can’t do better than Peter, especially if you are a client with limited resources. He respects and works around that issue quicker, better, and more effectively than any other attorney I have ever dealt with.
