I hired Pete for a child support case, after a bad experience with my previous lawyer. I went into a meeting with him very skeptical of lawyers in general looking for a reason to cast him in the same light as my other lawyer. But he earned my respect and trust one court date at a time, he’s the kind of guy you can talk to and that accommodates you for the sometimes crazy circumstances that arise in court. You can tell Pete has done this plenty of times before, he’s very composed and it’ll rub off on you. Further more he was good in the court room and represented all my concerns without me having to remind him or over explain. Like I said it was evident he had done this before. He also worked well with the lawyer on the opposing side, and when negotiating it’s important to come off the right way. Pete is friendly, but goes in for what his clients want/need.
