Peter and crew expertly navigated what turned out to be a very complicated divorce. To have someone in your corner who has seen everything and is not cowed by anyone or any scare tactic, helped me to have peace of mind. The final judgement was exactly what I was looking for and I shudder to think where I might have ended up without Peter.

Divorce is never pleasant and never easy- financially or emotionally. Selecting the right law firm is essential, to be both advocate and to try and minimize the emotions to ensure the best possible outcome. I had terminated my previous law firm, before hiring Peter one year into my divorce proceedings. I was looking for a firm with experience, gravitas and intimate knowledge of the law. Peter and his Team were that and more. I particularly appreciated his candor- when to push and when to back off, given the specifics of the case. You can burn an almost unlimited amount of money on a divorce and you must know which battles to fight and which to yield on. Peter was almost 100% right on his calls, based on how the case played out. The settlement we initially constructed ended up being very close to the final settlement, though the opposing party wouldn't agree to the initial terms before many wasted hours of court hearings, depositions and court filings. While you can't control the other party, he knew where a good outcome would be, and we got there prior to trial. If you are looking for incomparable experience and advocacy, as well as candor, you must hire Lauzon and his Team. This is not the area to shop for the lowest cost- ultimately what matters is where you end up.

More than five stars if it were an option! Peter and his amazing team including Talia, Nathalie and Cierra are the best!! They gave me quality time back with my child, peace of mind, and the ability to have complete trust in my attorney's skill, calendaring, approach, advice and more. I had used four lower quality attorneys before and even at one point represented myself with negative to disastrous results. His approach is thoughtful, compassionate and measured. I was able to work as close to uninterrupted as possible while a court date loomed and even settled out of court, something that had never ever happened before in over a decade of this matter. WOW!! I know it sounds silly, but in past matters I've also had to calculate all dates and deadlines because my attorneys would lapse and miss dates to submit responses which can be a huge issue because it takes away my side of the story and my voice. Peter's team was on top of it and submitted early and never even cut anything close. Relief! This mattered a lot to me! Peter is a different kind of attorney who works diligently, is humble, makes things easy on the client, and gets things done. Thankful for all he and his team do and highly recommended.

Before I get into the reasons why, I just want start by saying that if I could give Peter and his staff a 7 star rating, I would. I *highly* recommend them. In fact, I *have* recommended them to an acquaintance and that person was also extremely impressed. Now, to the reasons why. Upon first meeting Peter I was struck by just how forthright his manner was. My case was, shall we say, somewhat complex. There was going to be some contention over a non-trivial amount of money. Peter took the time to talk me through the pros and cons of my side of the case and let me know where I stood. He didn't inflate my chances of success just to get business. He went in to detail on where my case was strong and the possible weaknesses. After talking for about 1 hour, I hired Peter. Peter and his staff are always available, should you need them. My divorce took about a year and whenever I reached out, I don't think I ever had to wait more than a few hours to be contacted. This was exactly the kind of security blanket I needed while going through this. Their constant availability kept me from conjuring up horrible scenarios in my head. Instead, they were there with the facts and constant guidance. Peter always took the time to explain things and, most importantly for me, to tell me to remain calm. Throughout the entire process he was a beacon of rationality and reason. It was obvious to me that my ex-wife's attorney was trying his best to pad his fees and drag his feet. The longer this took and the more contentious he could be, the more money he would make and, since I was paying his legal fees, this was fine with my ex-wife. You will *never* feel this from Peter. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. I always felt that Peter went out of his way to do things in a way that would be cost effective for me. He would always give me the upside and downside, both emotionally and monetarily, for a certain decision. That made it much easier for me to decide where to push a point and where to yield. While I eventually settled out of court and managed to avoid going to trial, there were a number of depositions involved. I was impressed with Peter's intelligence and style during these. He was tremendously prepared and on point and it was very, very clear that I was in good hands. If I didn't know better, I would feel that I was the only case that Peter was handling. One of the unfortunate things that occurred was that my ex-wife and her lawyer kept stalling any settlement until very, very close to the trial date. As such, Peter and his associates had to put together a complete trial brief for that trial. As I said, we eventually settled, but I was tremendously impressed with the care, detail and understanding that was put into that brief. Had we gone to trial, I would have felt very comfortable that we were on good footing because of that document. The bottom line here is that I *always* felt like I was in good hands and that Peter and his staff had *MY* best interest in mind. They were there for me and to make sure that the outcome was a positive for me as possible. This review couldn't be complete without mentioning Peter's staff. This divorce was a major life event for me but, truly, this is just job for them. They *NEVER* make you feel that way, though. They go out of their way to be supportive and caring and just plain nice. They always make you feel better about things and that's a pretty big deal when going through this experience. Nobody wants to go through a divorce but, if you do, you should contact Peter. He and his staff will be there for you and make sure you get the best outcome possible.

Peter has been a huge part of my life the past two years. I didn't want to write a quick, hasty review about how great I think he and his associates are, but rather a well, thought out ode to what he has done for me and my newfound life. A little over two years ago, I found out my husband of 13 years was cheating on me via social media. I won't share the dark background about the things I found out about my now ex-husband leading up to me filing, but I will say that Peter was right there with me along the way. Peter and I were connected through a friend of mine after my first lawyer was dragging his feet, not pulling through, and blowing a lot of hot air my way. This friend was on the opposite side of Peter less than a year prior during his own divorce, Peter was my friends ex-wife's lawyer -- to me, that speaks VOLUMES when the very lawyer my friend was up against in court, he is now recommending I hire. And so my journey with Peter began. Upon our first meeting, I was hands down convinced Peter was the right choice as my divorce lawyer. I love Peter because he's very point-blank and he's a number cruncher. He laid it all out on the table as to what I'm entitled to and what I'm not, unlike my previous lawyer who blew smoke up my rear end promising me the world, and then some. Through no fault of my own, I was thrown into this situation where divorce was the only option for me, so its a VERY stressful, scary, and confusing time, especially when you don't expect it. Having an honest, no BS lawyer to guide me through was what I needed, and what I appreciate from people in general. I'm not the kind of person who needs or wants a hand holder, but Peter's empathy and support were always right there. California divorce law is pretty cut and dry: no-fault (meaning adultery is not taken into account) and all community property gets split down the middle. I do not have children, thank goodness, but there were major misappropriations in our marital funds. When you never suspect divorce will happen to you, this is all very overwhelming and terrifying, but I learned a lot along the way -- enough to write a book! Knowing what I was entitled to, Peter held his ground and got me a settlement (without having to go to court) that worked for me as I have special circumstances in that my job is home-based. While every situation and divorce is different, as well as all the "advice" from people you get along the way, I can honestly say that Peter was a beacon of light in many ways in a very dark time for me. After experiencing the first lawyer I hired who promised it all, then being connected with Peter, I have seen both sides of family law, and I would not hesitate for a second recommending Peter to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce or family lawyer. Peter and his staff have been nothing but a God-send to me, all of them very personable, warm, caring, and most of all, AVAILABLE, all the while keeping you on track with what to expect and explaining how things happen. I can't thank you enough Peter -- and your staff too! I endured the worst experience of my life with your guidance. I felt like my life would never be the same, but now I'm happier than I've ever been, free of a bad person, and looking forward to a wonderful future! I wholeheartedly recommend Lauzon Family Law.

Over the years I have referred numerous family law matters to Mr. Lauzon. Everyone of the clients have reported to me that he handled their matter with wisdom, and legal expertise to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits. I only refer my family law matters to Mr. Lauzon

Peter Lauzon is an absolutely superb attorney! I was worrying about an interstate custody enforcement matter regarding my multiply disabled child. Peter was very knowledgeable, understanding, and gracious with his time and his expertise, helping put my mind at ease and helping me to know that with his simple advice that everything was going to be OK. He walked me through what I needed to do to have the upper hand and for my child to be safe and where he belongs. He is so specialized in the exact type of thing we were facing, that I knew his predictions and advice would reflect exactly what was going to happen and that there wouldn’t be any surprises. And he was right about everything!! Peter was to the point, honest, direct, and made it known that he was there to preserve my child's rights. A great feeling!! There are not enough good things to say about Peter after all he did for our family!!

He does not listen to you. He is arragoant. He is expensive and seems to advise in a way that runs up your bills. His advice was terrible. My experience of this Attorney is just awful. He is a bully to his own client and will not listen. I do not recommend this Lawyer.

My experience with Mr. Lauzon was completely unbelievable. He got many of the facts wrong, did the opposite in court of what I wanted and discussed with him. Shocking actually.....if I followed his advice and did what he wanted I would have lost custody of my child. I followed my gut instinct and went AGAINST what Mr. Lauzon advised and I got a pretty good order. I wish I would have went against his advice from the beginning, I would have been in a better position for custody...... He also wanted me to negotiate guideline child support!! what, why, it is guideline, he wanted me to take almost $1,000 less than guideline!!!. He cost me money in court via attorney's fees and child support because he didn't have the facts straight, the judge was going with a higher number then Mr. Lauzon jumps in and lowers the amount (wtf!!!) Thank god I didn't negotiate as he advised me to with child support, otherwise I would have been out much more than he managed to in court. Oh, he will charge you for items before you even retain him!!! Read the retainer agreement.....unbelievable...the list goes on.....suppose to be a custody expert in move aways..... not convinced. His staff was good and very attentive, he thinks he is better than he actually is. There are better attorneys out there, with more compassion as well. He doesn't care and it shows.

He is so specialized in the exact type of thing we were facing, that I knew his predictions and advice would reflect exactly what was going to happen and that there wouldn’t be any surprises. And he was right about everything!! Peter was to the point, honest, direct, and made it known that he was there to preserve my child's rights. A great feeling!! There are not enough good things to say about Peter after all he did for our family!!

He does not listen to you. He is arragoant. He is expensive and seems to advise in a way that runs up your bills. His advice was terrible. My experience of this Attorney is just awful. He is a bully to his own client and will not listen. I do not recommend this Lawyer.

My experience with Mr. Lauzon was completely unbelievable. He got many of the facts wrong, did the opposite in court of what I wanted and discussed with him. Shocking actually.....if I followed his advice and did what he wanted I would have lost custody of my child. I followed my gut instinct and went AGAINST what Mr. Lauzon advised and I got a pretty good order. I wish I would have went against his advice from the beginning, I would have been in a better position for custody...... He also wanted me to negotiate guideline child support!! what, why, it is guideline, he wanted me to take almost $1,000 less than guideline!!!. He cost me money in court via attorney's fees and child support because he didn't have the facts straight, the judge was going with a higher number then Mr. Lauzon jumps in and lowers the amount (wtf!!!) Thank god I didn't negotiate as he advised me to with child support, otherwise I would have been out much more than he managed to in court. Oh, he will charge you for items before you even retain him!!! Read the retainer agreement.....unbelievable...the list goes on.....suppose to be a custody expert in move aways..... not convinced. His staff was good and very attentive, he thinks he is better than he actually is. There are better attorneys out there, with more compassion as well. He doesn't care and it shows.

Peter and crew expertly navigated what turned out to be a very complicated divorce. To have someone in your corner who has seen everything and is not cowed by anyone or any scare tactic, helped me to have peace of mind. The final judgement was exactly what I was looking for and I shudder to think where I might have ended up without Peter.

Divorce is never pleasant and never easy- financially or emotionally. Selecting the right law firm is essential, to be both advocate and to try and minimize the emotions to ensure the best possible outcome. I had terminated my previous law firm, before hiring Peter one year into my divorce proceedings. I was looking for a firm with experience, gravitas and intimate knowledge of the law. Peter and his Team were that and more. I particularly appreciated his candor- when to push and when to back off, given the specifics of the case. You can burn an almost unlimited amount of money on a divorce and you must know which battles to fight and which to yield on. Peter was almost 100% right on his calls, based on how the case played out. The settlement we initially constructed ended up being very close to the final settlement, though the opposing party wouldn't agree to the initial terms before many wasted hours of court hearings, depositions and court filings. While you can't control the other party, he knew where a good outcome would be, and we got there prior to trial. If you are looking for incomparable experience and advocacy, as well as candor, you must hire Lauzon and his Team. This is not the area to shop for the lowest cost- ultimately what matters is where you end up.

More than five stars if it were an option! Peter and his amazing team including Talia, Nathalie and Cierra are the best!! They gave me quality time back with my child, peace of mind, and the ability to have complete trust in my attorney's skill, calendaring, approach, advice and more. I had used four lower quality attorneys before and even at one point represented myself with negative to disastrous results. His approach is thoughtful, compassionate and measured. I was able to work as close to uninterrupted as possible while a court date loomed and even settled out of court, something that had never ever happened before in over a decade of this matter. WOW!! I know it sounds silly, but in past matters I've also had to calculate all dates and deadlines because my attorneys would lapse and miss dates to submit responses which can be a huge issue because it takes away my side of the story and my voice. Peter's team was on top of it and submitted early and never even cut anything close. Relief! This mattered a lot to me! Peter is a different kind of attorney who works diligently, is humble, makes things easy on the client, and gets things done. Thankful for all he and his team do and highly recommended.

Before I get into the reasons why, I just want start by saying that if I could give Peter and his staff a 7 star rating, I would. I *highly* recommend them. In fact, I *have* recommended them to an acquaintance and that person was also extremely impressed. Now, to the reasons why. Upon first meeting Peter I was struck by just how forthright his manner was. My case was, shall we say, somewhat complex. There was going to be some contention over a non-trivial amount of money. Peter took the time to talk me through the pros and cons of my side of the case and let me know where I stood. He didn't inflate my chances of success just to get business. He went in to detail on where my case was strong and the possible weaknesses. After talking for about 1 hour, I hired Peter. Peter and his staff are always available, should you need them. My divorce took about a year and whenever I reached out, I don't think I ever had to wait more than a few hours to be contacted. This was exactly the kind of security blanket I needed while going through this. Their constant availability kept me from conjuring up horrible scenarios in my head. Instead, they were there with the facts and constant guidance. Peter always took the time to explain things and, most importantly for me, to tell me to remain calm. Throughout the entire process he was a beacon of rationality and reason. It was obvious to me that my ex-wife's attorney was trying his best to pad his fees and drag his feet. The longer this took and the more contentious he could be, the more money he would make and, since I was paying his legal fees, this was fine with my ex-wife. You will *never* feel this from Peter. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. I always felt that Peter went out of his way to do things in a way that would be cost effective for me. He would always give me the upside and downside, both emotionally and monetarily, for a certain decision. That made it much easier for me to decide where to push a point and where to yield. While I eventually settled out of court and managed to avoid going to trial, there were a number of depositions involved. I was impressed with Peter's intelligence and style during these. He was tremendously prepared and on point and it was very, very clear that I was in good hands. If I didn't know better, I would feel that I was the only case that Peter was handling. One of the unfortunate things that occurred was that my ex-wife and her lawyer kept stalling any settlement until very, very close to the trial date. As such, Peter and his associates had to put together a complete trial brief for that trial. As I said, we eventually settled, but I was tremendously impressed with the care, detail and understanding that was put into that brief. Had we gone to trial, I would have felt very comfortable that we were on good footing because of that document. The bottom line here is that I *always* felt like I was in good hands and that Peter and his staff had *MY* best interest in mind. They were there for me and to make sure that the outcome was a positive for me as possible. This review couldn't be complete without mentioning Peter's staff. This divorce was a major life event for me but, truly, this is just job for them. They *NEVER* make you feel that way, though. They go out of their way to be supportive and caring and just plain nice. They always make you feel better about things and that's a pretty big deal when going through this experience. Nobody wants to go through a divorce but, if you do, you should contact Peter. He and his staff will be there for you and make sure you get the best outcome possible.

Peter has been a huge part of my life the past two years. I didn't want to write a quick, hasty review about how great I think he and his associates are, but rather a well, thought out ode to what he has done for me and my newfound life. A little over two years ago, I found out my husband of 13 years was cheating on me via social media. I won't share the dark background about the things I found out about my now ex-husband leading up to me filing, but I will say that Peter was right there with me along the way. Peter and I were connected through a friend of mine after my first lawyer was dragging his feet, not pulling through, and blowing a lot of hot air my way. This friend was on the opposite side of Peter less than a year prior during his own divorce, Peter was my friends ex-wife's lawyer -- to me, that speaks VOLUMES when the very lawyer my friend was up against in court, he is now recommending I hire. And so my journey with Peter began. Upon our first meeting, I was hands down convinced Peter was the right choice as my divorce lawyer. I love Peter because he's very point-blank and he's a number cruncher. He laid it all out on the table as to what I'm entitled to and what I'm not, unlike my previous lawyer who blew smoke up my rear end promising me the world, and then some. Through no fault of my own, I was thrown into this situation where divorce was the only option for me, so its a VERY stressful, scary, and confusing time, especially when you don't expect it. Having an honest, no BS lawyer to guide me through was what I needed, and what I appreciate from people in general. I'm not the kind of person who needs or wants a hand holder, but Peter's empathy and support were always right there. California divorce law is pretty cut and dry: no-fault (meaning adultery is not taken into account) and all community property gets split down the middle. I do not have children, thank goodness, but there were major misappropriations in our marital funds. When you never suspect divorce will happen to you, this is all very overwhelming and terrifying, but I learned a lot along the way -- enough to write a book! Knowing what I was entitled to, Peter held his ground and got me a settlement (without having to go to court) that worked for me as I have special circumstances in that my job is home-based. While every situation and divorce is different, as well as all the "advice" from people you get along the way, I can honestly say that Peter was a beacon of light in many ways in a very dark time for me. After experiencing the first lawyer I hired who promised it all, then being connected with Peter, I have seen both sides of family law, and I would not hesitate for a second recommending Peter to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce or family lawyer. Peter and his staff have been nothing but a God-send to me, all of them very personable, warm, caring, and most of all, AVAILABLE, all the while keeping you on track with what to expect and explaining how things happen. I can't thank you enough Peter -- and your staff too! I endured the worst experience of my life with your guidance. I felt like my life would never be the same, but now I'm happier than I've ever been, free of a bad person, and looking forward to a wonderful future! I wholeheartedly recommend Lauzon Family Law.

Over the years I have referred numerous family law matters to Mr. Lauzon. Everyone of the clients have reported to me that he handled their matter with wisdom, and legal expertise to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits. I only refer my family law matters to Mr. Lauzon

Peter Lauzon is an absolutely superb attorney! I was worrying about an interstate custody enforcement matter regarding my multiply disabled child. Peter was very knowledgeable, understanding, and gracious with his time and his expertise, helping put my mind at ease and helping me to know that with his simple advice that everything was going to be OK. He walked me through what I needed to do to have the upper hand and for my child to be safe and where he belongs.

I'm not the kind of person who needs or wants a hand holder, but Peter's empathy and support were always right there. California divorce law is pretty cut and dry: no-fault (meaning adultery is not taken into account) and all community property gets split down the middle. I do not have children, thank goodness, but there were major misappropriations in our marital funds. When you never suspect divorce will happen to you, this is all very overwhelming and terrifying, but I learned a lot along the way -- enough to write a book! Knowing what I was entitled to, Peter held his ground and got me a settlement (without having to go to court) that worked for me as I have special circumstances in that my job is home-based. While every situation and divorce is different, as well as all the "advice" from people you get along the way, I can honestly say that Peter was a beacon of light in many ways in a very dark time for me. After experiencing the first lawyer I hired who promised it all, then being connected with Peter, I have seen both sides of family law, and I would not hesitate for a second recommending Peter to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce or family lawyer. Peter and his staff have been nothing but a God-send to me, all of them very personable, warm, caring, and most of all, AVAILABLE, all the while keeping you on track with what to expect and explaining how things happen. I can't thank you enough Peter -- and your staff too! I endured the worst experience of my life with your guidance. I felt like my life would never be the same, but now I'm happier than I've ever been, free of a bad person, and looking forward to a wonderful future! I wholeheartedly recommend Lauzon Family Law.

Over the years I have referred numerous family law matters to Mr. Lauzon. Everyone of the clients have reported to me that he handled their matter with wisdom, and legal expertise to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits. I only refer my family law matters to Mr. Lauzon

Peter Lauzon is an absolutely superb attorney! I was worrying about an interstate custody enforcement matter regarding my multiply disabled child. Peter was very knowledgeable, understanding, and gracious with his time and his expertise, helping put my mind at ease and helping me to know that with his simple advice that everything was going to be OK. He walked me through what I needed to do to have the upper hand and for my child to be safe and where he belongs. He is so specialized in the exact type of thing we were facing, that I knew his predictions and advice would reflect exactly what was going to happen and that there wouldn’t be any surprises. And he was right about everything!! Peter was to the point, honest, direct, and made it known that he was there to preserve my child's rights. A great feeling!! There are not enough good things to say about Peter after all he did for our family!!

He does not listen to you. He is arragoant. He is expensive and seems to advise in a way that runs up your bills. His advice was terrible. My experience of this Attorney is just awful. He is a bully to his own client and will not listen. I do not recommend this Lawyer.

My experience with Mr. Lauzon was completely unbelievable. He got many of the facts wrong, did the opposite in court of what I wanted and discussed with him. Shocking actually.....if I followed his advice and did what he wanted I would have lost custody of my child. I followed my gut instinct and went AGAINST what Mr. Lauzon advised and I got a pretty good order. I wish I would have went against his advice from the beginning, I would have been in a better position for custody...... He also wanted me to negotiate guideline child support!! what, why, it is guideline, he wanted me to take almost $1,000 less than guideline!!!. He cost me money in court via attorney's fees and child support because he didn't have the facts straight, the judge was going with a higher number then Mr. Lauzon jumps in and lowers the amount (wtf!!!) Thank god I didn't negotiate as he advised me to with child support, otherwise I would have been out much more than he managed to in court. Oh, he will charge you for items before you even retain him!!! Read the retainer agreement.....unbelievable...the list goes on.....suppose to be a custody expert in move aways..... not convinced. His staff was good and very attentive, he thinks he is better than he actually is. There are better attorneys out there, with more compassion as well. He doesn't care and it shows.

Peter and crew expertly navigated what turned out to be a very complicated divorce. To have someone in your corner who has seen everything and is not cowed by anyone or any scare tactic, helped me to have peace of mind. The final judgement was exactly what I was looking for and I shudder to think where I might have ended up without Peter.

Divorce is never pleasant and never easy- financially or emotionally. Selecting the right law firm is essential, to be both advocate and to try and minimize the emotions to ensure the best possible outcome. I had terminated my previous law firm, before hiring Peter one year into my divorce proceedings. I was looking for a firm with experience, gravitas and intimate knowledge of the law. Peter and his Team were that and more. I particularly appreciated his candor- when to push and when to back off, given the specifics of the case. You can burn an almost unlimited amount of money on a divorce and you must know which battles to fight and which to yield on. Peter was almost 100% right on his calls, based on how the case played out. The settlement we initially constructed ended up being very close to the final settlement, though the opposing party wouldn't agree to the initial terms before many wasted hours of court hearings, depositions and court filings. While you can't control the other party, he knew where a good outcome would be, and we got there prior to trial. If you are looking for incomparable experience and advocacy, as well as candor, you must hire Lauzon and his Team. This is not the area to shop for the lowest cost- ultimately what matters is where you end up.

More than five stars if it were an option! Peter and his amazing team including Talia, Nathalie and Cierra are the best!! They gave me quality time back with my child, peace of mind, and the ability to have complete trust in my attorney's skill, calendaring, approach, advice and more. I had used four lower quality attorneys before and even at one point represented myself with negative to disastrous results. His approach is thoughtful, compassionate and measured. I was able to work as close to uninterrupted as possible while a court date loomed and even settled out of court, something that had never ever happened before in over a decade of this matter. WOW!! I know it sounds silly, but in past matters I've also had to calculate all dates and deadlines because my attorneys would lapse and miss dates to submit responses which can be a huge issue because it takes away my side of the story and my voice. Peter's team was on top of it and submitted early and never even cut anything close. Relief! This mattered a lot to me! Peter is a different kind of attorney who works diligently, is humble, makes things easy on the client, and gets things done. Thankful for all he and his team do and highly recommended.

Before I get into the reasons why, I just want start by saying that if I could give Peter and his staff a 7 star rating, I would. I *highly* recommend them. In fact, I *have* recommended them to an acquaintance and that person was also extremely impressed. Now, to the reasons why. Upon first meeting Peter I was struck by just how forthright his manner was. My case was, shall we say, somewhat complex. There was going to be some contention over a non-trivial amount of money. Peter took the time to talk me through the pros and cons of my side of the case and let me know where I stood. He didn't inflate my chances of success just to get business. He went in to detail on where my case was strong and the possible weaknesses. After talking for about 1 hour, I hired Peter. Peter and his staff are always available, should you need them. My divorce took about a year and whenever I reached out, I don't think I ever had to wait more than a few hours to be contacted. This was exactly the kind of security blanket I needed while going through this. Their constant availability kept me from conjuring up horrible scenarios in my head. Instead, they were there with the facts and constant guidance. Peter always took the time to explain things and, most importantly for me, to tell me to remain calm. Throughout the entire process he was a beacon of rationality and reason. It was obvious to me that my ex-wife's attorney was trying his best to pad his fees and drag his feet. The longer this took and the more contentious he could be, the more money he would make and, since I was paying his legal fees, this was fine with my ex-wife. You will *never* feel this from Peter. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. I always felt that Peter went out of his way to do things in a way that would be cost effective for me. He would always give me the upside and downside, both emotionally and monetarily, for a certain decision. That made it much easier for me to decide where to push a point and where to yield. While I eventually settled out of court and managed to avoid going to trial, there were a number of depositions involved. I was impressed with Peter's intelligence and style during these. He was tremendously prepared and on point and it was very, very clear that I was in good hands. If I didn't know better, I would feel that I was the only case that Peter was handling. One of the unfortunate things that occurred was that my ex-wife and her lawyer kept stalling any settlement until very, very close to the trial date. As such, Peter and his associates had to put together a complete trial brief for that trial. As I said, we eventually settled, but I was tremendously impressed with the care, detail and understanding that was put into that brief. Had we gone to trial, I would have felt very comfortable that we were on good footing because of that document. The bottom line here is that I *always* felt like I was in good hands and that Peter and his staff had *MY* best interest in mind. They were there for me and to make sure that the outcome was a positive for me as possible. This review couldn't be complete without mentioning Peter's staff. This divorce was a major life event for me but, truly, this is just job for them. They *NEVER* make you feel that way, though. They go out of their way to be supportive and caring and just plain nice. They always make you feel better about things and that's a pretty big deal when going through this experience. Nobody wants to go through a divorce but, if you do, you should contact Peter. He and his staff will be there for you and make sure you get the best outcome possible.

Peter has been a huge part of my life the past two years. I didn't want to write a quick, hasty review about how great I think he and his associates are, but rather a well, thought out ode to what he has done for me and my newfound life. A little over two years ago, I found out my husband of 13 years was cheating on me via social media. I won't share the dark background about the things I found out about my now ex-husband leading up to me filing, but I will say that Peter was right there with me along the way. Peter and I were connected through a friend of mine after my first lawyer was dragging his feet, not pulling through, and blowing a lot of hot air my way. This friend was on the opposite side of Peter less than a year prior during his own divorce, Peter was my friends ex-wife's lawyer -- to me, that speaks VOLUMES when the very lawyer my friend was up against in court, he is now recommending I hire. And so my journey with Peter began. Upon our first meeting, I was hands down convinced Peter was the right choice as my divorce lawyer. I love Peter because he's very point-blank and he's a number cruncher. He laid it all out on the table as to what I'm entitled to and what I'm not, unlike my previous lawyer who blew smoke up my rear end promising me the world, and then some. Through no fault of my own, I was thrown into this situation where divorce was the only option for me, so its a VERY stressful, scary, and confusing time, especially when you don't expect it. Having an honest, no BS lawyer to guide me through was what I needed, and what I appreciate from people in general.

The bottom line here is that I *always* felt like I was in good hands and that Peter and his staff had *MY* best interest in mind. They were there for me and to make sure that the outcome was a positive for me as possible. This review couldn't be complete without mentioning Peter's staff. This divorce was a major life event for me but, truly, this is just job for them. They *NEVER* make you feel that way, though. They go out of their way to be supportive and caring and just plain nice. They always make you feel better about things and that's a pretty big deal when going through this experience. Nobody wants to go through a divorce but, if you do, you should contact Peter. He and his staff will be there for you and make sure you get the best outcome possible.

Peter has been a huge part of my life the past two years. I didn't want to write a quick, hasty review about how great I think he and his associates are, but rather a well, thought out ode to what he has done for me and my newfound life. A little over two years ago, I found out my husband of 13 years was cheating on me via social media. I won't share the dark background about the things I found out about my now ex-husband leading up to me filing, but I will say that Peter was right there with me along the way. Peter and I were connected through a friend of mine after my first lawyer was dragging his feet, not pulling through, and blowing a lot of hot air my way. This friend was on the opposite side of Peter less than a year prior during his own divorce, Peter was my friends ex-wife's lawyer -- to me, that speaks VOLUMES when the very lawyer my friend was up against in court, he is now recommending I hire. And so my journey with Peter began. Upon our first meeting, I was hands down convinced Peter was the right choice as my divorce lawyer. I love Peter because he's very point-blank and he's a number cruncher. He laid it all out on the table as to what I'm entitled to and what I'm not, unlike my previous lawyer who blew smoke up my rear end promising me the world, and then some. Through no fault of my own, I was thrown into this situation where divorce was the only option for me, so its a VERY stressful, scary, and confusing time, especially when you don't expect it. Having an honest, no BS lawyer to guide me through was what I needed, and what I appreciate from people in general. I'm not the kind of person who needs or wants a hand holder, but Peter's empathy and support were always right there. California divorce law is pretty cut and dry: no-fault (meaning adultery is not taken into account) and all community property gets split down the middle. I do not have children, thank goodness, but there were major misappropriations in our marital funds. When you never suspect divorce will happen to you, this is all very overwhelming and terrifying, but I learned a lot along the way -- enough to write a book! Knowing what I was entitled to, Peter held his ground and got me a settlement (without having to go to court) that worked for me as I have special circumstances in that my job is home-based. While every situation and divorce is different, as well as all the "advice" from people you get along the way, I can honestly say that Peter was a beacon of light in many ways in a very dark time for me. After experiencing the first lawyer I hired who promised it all, then being connected with Peter, I have seen both sides of family law, and I would not hesitate for a second recommending Peter to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce or family lawyer. Peter and his staff have been nothing but a God-send to me, all of them very personable, warm, caring, and most of all, AVAILABLE, all the while keeping you on track with what to expect and explaining how things happen. I can't thank you enough Peter -- and your staff too! I endured the worst experience of my life with your guidance. I felt like my life would never be the same, but now I'm happier than I've ever been, free of a bad person, and looking forward to a wonderful future! I wholeheartedly recommend Lauzon Family Law.

Over the years I have referred numerous family law matters to Mr. Lauzon. Everyone of the clients have reported to me that he handled their matter with wisdom, and legal expertise to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits. I only refer my family law matters to Mr. Lauzon

Peter Lauzon is an absolutely superb attorney! I was worrying about an interstate custody enforcement matter regarding my multiply disabled child. Peter was very knowledgeable, understanding, and gracious with his time and his expertise, helping put my mind at ease and helping me to know that with his simple advice that everything was going to be OK. He walked me through what I needed to do to have the upper hand and for my child to be safe and where he belongs. He is so specialized in the exact type of thing we were facing, that I knew his predictions and advice would reflect exactly what was going to happen and that there wouldn’t be any surprises. And he was right about everything!! Peter was to the point, honest, direct, and made it known that he was there to preserve my child's rights. A great feeling!! There are not enough good things to say about Peter after all he did for our family!!

He does not listen to you. He is arragoant. He is expensive and seems to advise in a way that runs up your bills. His advice was terrible. My experience of this Attorney is just awful. He is a bully to his own client and will not listen. I do not recommend this Lawyer.

My experience with Mr. Lauzon was completely unbelievable. He got many of the facts wrong, did the opposite in court of what I wanted and discussed with him. Shocking actually.....if I followed his advice and did what he wanted I would have lost custody of my child. I followed my gut instinct and went AGAINST what Mr. Lauzon advised and I got a pretty good order. I wish I would have went against his advice from the beginning, I would have been in a better position for custody...... He also wanted me to negotiate guideline child support!! what, why, it is guideline, he wanted me to take almost $1,000 less than guideline!!!. He cost me money in court via attorney's fees and child support because he didn't have the facts straight, the judge was going with a higher number then Mr. Lauzon jumps in and lowers the amount (wtf!!!) Thank god I didn't negotiate as he advised me to with child support, otherwise I would have been out much more than he managed to in court. Oh, he will charge you for items before you even retain him!!! Read the retainer agreement.....unbelievable...the list goes on.....suppose to be a custody expert in move aways..... not convinced. His staff was good and very attentive, he thinks he is better than he actually is. There are better attorneys out there, with more compassion as well. He doesn't care and it shows.

Peter and crew expertly navigated what turned out to be a very complicated divorce. To have someone in your corner who has seen everything and is not cowed by anyone or any scare tactic, helped me to have peace of mind. The final judgement was exactly what I was looking for and I shudder to think where I might have ended up without Peter.

Divorce is never pleasant and never easy- financially or emotionally. Selecting the right law firm is essential, to be both advocate and to try and minimize the emotions to ensure the best possible outcome. I had terminated my previous law firm, before hiring Peter one year into my divorce proceedings. I was looking for a firm with experience, gravitas and intimate knowledge of the law. Peter and his Team were that and more. I particularly appreciated his candor- when to push and when to back off, given the specifics of the case. You can burn an almost unlimited amount of money on a divorce and you must know which battles to fight and which to yield on. Peter was almost 100% right on his calls, based on how the case played out. The settlement we initially constructed ended up being very close to the final settlement, though the opposing party wouldn't agree to the initial terms before many wasted hours of court hearings, depositions and court filings. While you can't control the other party, he knew where a good outcome would be, and we got there prior to trial. If you are looking for incomparable experience and advocacy, as well as candor, you must hire Lauzon and his Team. This is not the area to shop for the lowest cost- ultimately what matters is where you end up.

More than five stars if it were an option! Peter and his amazing team including Talia, Nathalie and Cierra are the best!! They gave me quality time back with my child, peace of mind, and the ability to have complete trust in my attorney's skill, calendaring, approach, advice and more. I had used four lower quality attorneys before and even at one point represented myself with negative to disastrous results. His approach is thoughtful, compassionate and measured. I was able to work as close to uninterrupted as possible while a court date loomed and even settled out of court, something that had never ever happened before in over a decade of this matter. WOW!! I know it sounds silly, but in past matters I've also had to calculate all dates and deadlines because my attorneys would lapse and miss dates to submit responses which can be a huge issue because it takes away my side of the story and my voice. Peter's team was on top of it and submitted early and never even cut anything close. Relief! This mattered a lot to me! Peter is a different kind of attorney who works diligently, is humble, makes things easy on the client, and gets things done. Thankful for all he and his team do and highly recommended.

Before I get into the reasons why, I just want start by saying that if I could give Peter and his staff a 7 star rating, I would. I *highly* recommend them. In fact, I *have* recommended them to an acquaintance and that person was also extremely impressed. Now, to the reasons why. Upon first meeting Peter I was struck by just how forthright his manner was. My case was, shall we say, somewhat complex. There was going to be some contention over a non-trivial amount of money. Peter took the time to talk me through the pros and cons of my side of the case and let me know where I stood. He didn't inflate my chances of success just to get business. He went in to detail on where my case was strong and the possible weaknesses. After talking for about 1 hour, I hired Peter. Peter and his staff are always available, should you need them. My divorce took about a year and whenever I reached out, I don't think I ever had to wait more than a few hours to be contacted. This was exactly the kind of security blanket I needed while going through this. Their constant availability kept me from conjuring up horrible scenarios in my head. Instead, they were there with the facts and constant guidance. Peter always took the time to explain things and, most importantly for me, to tell me to remain calm. Throughout the entire process he was a beacon of rationality and reason. It was obvious to me that my ex-wife's attorney was trying his best to pad his fees and drag his feet. The longer this took and the more contentious he could be, the more money he would make and, since I was paying his legal fees, this was fine with my ex-wife. You will *never* feel this from Peter. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. I always felt that Peter went out of his way to do things in a way that would be cost effective for me. He would always give me the upside and downside, both emotionally and monetarily, for a certain decision. That made it much easier for me to decide where to push a point and where to yield. While I eventually settled out of court and managed to avoid going to trial, there were a number of depositions involved. I was impressed with Peter's intelligence and style during these. He was tremendously prepared and on point and it was very, very clear that I was in good hands. If I didn't know better, I would feel that I was the only case that Peter was handling. One of the unfortunate things that occurred was that my ex-wife and her lawyer kept stalling any settlement until very, very close to the trial date. As such, Peter and his associates had to put together a complete trial brief for that trial. As I said, we eventually settled, but I was tremendously impressed with the care, detail and understanding that was put into that brief. Had we gone to trial, I would have felt very comfortable that we were on good footing because of that document. The bottom line here is that I *always* felt like I was in good hands and that Peter and his staff had *MY* best interest in mind.

Peter took the time to talk me through the pros and cons of my side of the case and let me know where I stood. He didn't inflate my chances of success just to get business. He went in to detail on where my case was strong and the possible weaknesses. After talking for about 1 hour, I hired Peter. Peter and his staff are always available, should you need them. My divorce took about a year and whenever I reached out, I don't think I ever had to wait more than a few hours to be contacted. This was exactly the kind of security blanket I needed while going through this. Their constant availability kept me from conjuring up horrible scenarios in my head. Instead, they were there with the facts and constant guidance. Peter always took the time to explain things and, most importantly for me, to tell me to remain calm. Throughout the entire process he was a beacon of rationality and reason. It was obvious to me that my ex-wife's attorney was trying his best to pad his fees and drag his feet. The longer this took and the more contentious he could be, the more money he would make and, since I was paying his legal fees, this was fine with my ex-wife. You will *never* feel this from Peter. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. I always felt that Peter went out of his way to do things in a way that would be cost effective for me. He would always give me the upside and downside, both emotionally and monetarily, for a certain decision. That made it much easier for me to decide where to push a point and where to yield. While I eventually settled out of court and managed to avoid going to trial, there were a number of depositions involved. I was impressed with Peter's intelligence and style during these. He was tremendously prepared and on point and it was very, very clear that I was in good hands. If I didn't know better, I would feel that I was the only case that Peter was handling. One of the unfortunate things that occurred was that my ex-wife and her lawyer kept stalling any settlement until very, very close to the trial date. As such, Peter and his associates had to put together a complete trial brief for that trial. As I said, we eventually settled, but I was tremendously impressed with the care, detail and understanding that was put into that brief. Had we gone to trial, I would have felt very comfortable that we were on good footing because of that document. The bottom line here is that I *always* felt like I was in good hands and that Peter and his staff had *MY* best interest in mind. They were there for me and to make sure that the outcome was a positive for me as possible. This review couldn't be complete without mentioning Peter's staff. This divorce was a major life event for me but, truly, this is just job for them. They *NEVER* make you feel that way, though. They go out of their way to be supportive and caring and just plain nice. They always make you feel better about things and that's a pretty big deal when going through this experience. Nobody wants to go through a divorce but, if you do, you should contact Peter. He and his staff will be there for you and make sure you get the best outcome possible.

Peter has been a huge part of my life the past two years. I didn't want to write a quick, hasty review about how great I think he and his associates are, but rather a well, thought out ode to what he has done for me and my newfound life. A little over two years ago, I found out my husband of 13 years was cheating on me via social media. I won't share the dark background about the things I found out about my now ex-husband leading up to me filing, but I will say that Peter was right there with me along the way. Peter and I were connected through a friend of mine after my first lawyer was dragging his feet, not pulling through, and blowing a lot of hot air my way. This friend was on the opposite side of Peter less than a year prior during his own divorce, Peter was my friends ex-wife's lawyer -- to me, that speaks VOLUMES when the very lawyer my friend was up against in court, he is now recommending I hire. And so my journey with Peter began. Upon our first meeting, I was hands down convinced Peter was the right choice as my divorce lawyer. I love Peter because he's very point-blank and he's a number cruncher. He laid it all out on the table as to what I'm entitled to and what I'm not, unlike my previous lawyer who blew smoke up my rear end promising me the world, and then some. Through no fault of my own, I was thrown into this situation where divorce was the only option for me, so its a VERY stressful, scary, and confusing time, especially when you don't expect it. Having an honest, no BS lawyer to guide me through was what I needed, and what I appreciate from people in general. I'm not the kind of person who needs or wants a hand holder, but Peter's empathy and support were always right there. California divorce law is pretty cut and dry: no-fault (meaning adultery is not taken into account) and all community property gets split down the middle. I do not have children, thank goodness, but there were major misappropriations in our marital funds. When you never suspect divorce will happen to you, this is all very overwhelming and terrifying, but I learned a lot along the way -- enough to write a book! Knowing what I was entitled to, Peter held his ground and got me a settlement (without having to go to court) that worked for me as I have special circumstances in that my job is home-based. While every situation and divorce is different, as well as all the "advice" from people you get along the way, I can honestly say that Peter was a beacon of light in many ways in a very dark time for me. After experiencing the first lawyer I hired who promised it all, then being connected with Peter, I have seen both sides of family law, and I would not hesitate for a second recommending Peter to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce or family lawyer. Peter and his staff have been nothing but a God-send to me, all of them very personable, warm, caring, and most of all, AVAILABLE, all the while keeping you on track with what to expect and explaining how things happen. I can't thank you enough Peter -- and your staff too! I endured the worst experience of my life with your guidance. I felt like my life would never be the same, but now I'm happier than I've ever been, free of a bad person, and looking forward to a wonderful future! I wholeheartedly recommend Lauzon Family Law.

Over the years I have referred numerous family law matters to Mr. Lauzon. Everyone of the clients have reported to me that he handled their matter with wisdom, and legal expertise to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits. I only refer my family law matters to Mr. Lauzon

Peter Lauzon is an absolutely superb attorney! I was worrying about an interstate custody enforcement matter regarding my multiply disabled child. Peter was very knowledgeable, understanding, and gracious with his time and his expertise, helping put my mind at ease and helping me to know that with his simple advice that everything was going to be OK. He walked me through what I needed to do to have the upper hand and for my child to be safe and where he belongs. He is so specialized in the exact type of thing we were facing, that I knew his predictions and advice would reflect exactly what was going to happen and that there wouldn’t be any surprises. And he was right about everything!! Peter was to the point, honest, direct, and made it known that he was there to preserve my child's rights. A great feeling!! There are not enough good things to say about Peter after all he did for our family!!

He does not listen to you. He is arragoant. He is expensive and seems to advise in a way that runs up your bills. His advice was terrible. My experience of this Attorney is just awful. He is a bully to his own client and will not listen. I do not recommend this Lawyer.

My experience with Mr. Lauzon was completely unbelievable. He got many of the facts wrong, did the opposite in court of what I wanted and discussed with him. Shocking actually.....if I followed his advice and did what he wanted I would have lost custody of my child. I followed my gut instinct and went AGAINST what Mr. Lauzon advised and I got a pretty good order. I wish I would have went against his advice from the beginning, I would have been in a better position for custody...... He also wanted me to negotiate guideline child support!! what, why, it is guideline, he wanted me to take almost $1,000 less than guideline!!!. He cost me money in court via attorney's fees and child support because he didn't have the facts straight, the judge was going with a higher number then Mr. Lauzon jumps in and lowers the amount (wtf!!!) Thank god I didn't negotiate as he advised me to with child support, otherwise I would have been out much more than he managed to in court. Oh, he will charge you for items before you even retain him!!! Read the retainer agreement.....unbelievable...the list goes on.....suppose to be a custody expert in move aways..... not convinced. His staff was good and very attentive, he thinks he is better than he actually is. There are better attorneys out there, with more compassion as well. He doesn't care and it shows.

Peter and crew expertly navigated what turned out to be a very complicated divorce. To have someone in your corner who has seen everything and is not cowed by anyone or any scare tactic, helped me to have peace of mind. The final judgement was exactly what I was looking for and I shudder to think where I might have ended up without Peter.

Divorce is never pleasant and never easy- financially or emotionally. Selecting the right law firm is essential, to be both advocate and to try and minimize the emotions to ensure the best possible outcome. I had terminated my previous law firm, before hiring Peter one year into my divorce proceedings. I was looking for a firm with experience, gravitas and intimate knowledge of the law. Peter and his Team were that and more. I particularly appreciated his candor- when to push and when to back off, given the specifics of the case. You can burn an almost unlimited amount of money on a divorce and you must know which battles to fight and which to yield on. Peter was almost 100% right on his calls, based on how the case played out. The settlement we initially constructed ended up being very close to the final settlement, though the opposing party wouldn't agree to the initial terms before many wasted hours of court hearings, depositions and court filings. While you can't control the other party, he knew where a good outcome would be, and we got there prior to trial. If you are looking for incomparable experience and advocacy, as well as candor, you must hire Lauzon and his Team. This is not the area to shop for the lowest cost- ultimately what matters is where you end up.

More than five stars if it were an option! Peter and his amazing team including Talia, Nathalie and Cierra are the best!! They gave me quality time back with my child, peace of mind, and the ability to have complete trust in my attorney's skill, calendaring, approach, advice and more. I had used four lower quality attorneys before and even at one point represented myself with negative to disastrous results. His approach is thoughtful, compassionate and measured. I was able to work as close to uninterrupted as possible while a court date loomed and even settled out of court, something that had never ever happened before in over a decade of this matter. WOW!! I know it sounds silly, but in past matters I've also had to calculate all dates and deadlines because my attorneys would lapse and miss dates to submit responses which can be a huge issue because it takes away my side of the story and my voice. Peter's team was on top of it and submitted early and never even cut anything close. Relief! This mattered a lot to me! Peter is a different kind of attorney who works diligently, is humble, makes things easy on the client, and gets things done. Thankful for all he and his team do and highly recommended.

Before I get into the reasons why, I just want start by saying that if I could give Peter and his staff a 7 star rating, I would. I *highly* recommend them. In fact, I *have* recommended them to an acquaintance and that person was also extremely impressed. Now, to the reasons why.

You can burn an almost unlimited amount of money on a divorce and you must know which battles to fight and which to yield on. Peter was almost 100% right on his calls, based on how the case played out. The settlement we initially constructed ended up being very close to the final settlement, though the opposing party wouldn't agree to the initial terms before many wasted hours of court hearings, depositions and court filings. While you can't control the other party, he knew where a good outcome would be, and we got there prior to trial. If you are looking for incomparable experience and advocacy, as well as candor, you must hire Lauzon and his Team. This is not the area to shop for the lowest cost- ultimately what matters is where you end up.

More than five stars if it were an option! Peter and his amazing team including Talia, Nathalie and Cierra are the best!! They gave me quality time back with my child, peace of mind, and the ability to have complete trust in my attorney's skill, calendaring, approach, advice and more. I had used four lower quality attorneys before and even at one point represented myself with negative to disastrous results. His approach is thoughtful, compassionate and measured. I was able to work as close to uninterrupted as possible while a court date loomed and even settled out of court, something that had never ever happened before in over a decade of this matter. WOW!! I know it sounds silly, but in past matters I've also had to calculate all dates and deadlines because my attorneys would lapse and miss dates to submit responses which can be a huge issue because it takes away my side of the story and my voice. Peter's team was on top of it and submitted early and never even cut anything close. Relief! This mattered a lot to me! Peter is a different kind of attorney who works diligently, is humble, makes things easy on the client, and gets things done. Thankful for all he and his team do and highly recommended.

Before I get into the reasons why, I just want start by saying that if I could give Peter and his staff a 7 star rating, I would. I *highly* recommend them. In fact, I *have* recommended them to an acquaintance and that person was also extremely impressed. Now, to the reasons why. Upon first meeting Peter I was struck by just how forthright his manner was. My case was, shall we say, somewhat complex. There was going to be some contention over a non-trivial amount of money. Peter took the time to talk me through the pros and cons of my side of the case and let me know where I stood. He didn't inflate my chances of success just to get business. He went in to detail on where my case was strong and the possible weaknesses. After talking for about 1 hour, I hired Peter. Peter and his staff are always available, should you need them. My divorce took about a year and whenever I reached out, I don't think I ever had to wait more than a few hours to be contacted. This was exactly the kind of security blanket I needed while going through this. Their constant availability kept me from conjuring up horrible scenarios in my head. Instead, they were there with the facts and constant guidance. Peter always took the time to explain things and, most importantly for me, to tell me to remain calm. Throughout the entire process he was a beacon of rationality and reason. It was obvious to me that my ex-wife's attorney was trying his best to pad his fees and drag his feet. The longer this took and the more contentious he could be, the more money he would make and, since I was paying his legal fees, this was fine with my ex-wife. You will *never* feel this from Peter. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. I always felt that Peter went out of his way to do things in a way that would be cost effective for me. He would always give me the upside and downside, both emotionally and monetarily, for a certain decision. That made it much easier for me to decide where to push a point and where to yield. While I eventually settled out of court and managed to avoid going to trial, there were a number of depositions involved. I was impressed with Peter's intelligence and style during these. He was tremendously prepared and on point and it was very, very clear that I was in good hands. If I didn't know better, I would feel that I was the only case that Peter was handling. One of the unfortunate things that occurred was that my ex-wife and her lawyer kept stalling any settlement until very, very close to the trial date. As such, Peter and his associates had to put together a complete trial brief for that trial. As I said, we eventually settled, but I was tremendously impressed with the care, detail and understanding that was put into that brief. Had we gone to trial, I would have felt very comfortable that we were on good footing because of that document. The bottom line here is that I *always* felt like I was in good hands and that Peter and his staff had *MY* best interest in mind. They were there for me and to make sure that the outcome was a positive for me as possible. This review couldn't be complete without mentioning Peter's staff. This divorce was a major life event for me but, truly, this is just job for them. They *NEVER* make you feel that way, though. They go out of their way to be supportive and caring and just plain nice. They always make you feel better about things and that's a pretty big deal when going through this experience. Nobody wants to go through a divorce but, if you do, you should contact Peter. He and his staff will be there for you and make sure you get the best outcome possible.

Peter has been a huge part of my life the past two years. I didn't want to write a quick, hasty review about how great I think he and his associates are, but rather a well, thought out ode to what he has done for me and my newfound life. A little over two years ago, I found out my husband of 13 years was cheating on me via social media. I won't share the dark background about the things I found out about my now ex-husband leading up to me filing, but I will say that Peter was right there with me along the way. Peter and I were connected through a friend of mine after my first lawyer was dragging his feet, not pulling through, and blowing a lot of hot air my way. This friend was on the opposite side of Peter less than a year prior during his own divorce, Peter was my friends ex-wife's lawyer -- to me, that speaks VOLUMES when the very lawyer my friend was up against in court, he is now recommending I hire. And so my journey with Peter began. Upon our first meeting, I was hands down convinced Peter was the right choice as my divorce lawyer. I love Peter because he's very point-blank and he's a number cruncher. He laid it all out on the table as to what I'm entitled to and what I'm not, unlike my previous lawyer who blew smoke up my rear end promising me the world, and then some. Through no fault of my own, I was thrown into this situation where divorce was the only option for me, so its a VERY stressful, scary, and confusing time, especially when you don't expect it. Having an honest, no BS lawyer to guide me through was what I needed, and what I appreciate from people in general. I'm not the kind of person who needs or wants a hand holder, but Peter's empathy and support were always right there. California divorce law is pretty cut and dry: no-fault (meaning adultery is not taken into account) and all community property gets split down the middle. I do not have children, thank goodness, but there were major misappropriations in our marital funds. When you never suspect divorce will happen to you, this is all very overwhelming and terrifying, but I learned a lot along the way -- enough to write a book! Knowing what I was entitled to, Peter held his ground and got me a settlement (without having to go to court) that worked for me as I have special circumstances in that my job is home-based. While every situation and divorce is different, as well as all the "advice" from people you get along the way, I can honestly say that Peter was a beacon of light in many ways in a very dark time for me. After experiencing the first lawyer I hired who promised it all, then being connected with Peter, I have seen both sides of family law, and I would not hesitate for a second recommending Peter to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce or family lawyer. Peter and his staff have been nothing but a God-send to me, all of them very personable, warm, caring, and most of all, AVAILABLE, all the while keeping you on track with what to expect and explaining how things happen. I can't thank you enough Peter -- and your staff too! I endured the worst experience of my life with your guidance. I felt like my life would never be the same, but now I'm happier than I've ever been, free of a bad person, and looking forward to a wonderful future! I wholeheartedly recommend Lauzon Family Law.

Over the years I have referred numerous family law matters to Mr. Lauzon. Everyone of the clients have reported to me that he handled their matter with wisdom, and legal expertise to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits. I only refer my family law matters to Mr. Lauzon

Peter Lauzon is an absolutely superb attorney! I was worrying about an interstate custody enforcement matter regarding my multiply disabled child. Peter was very knowledgeable, understanding, and gracious with his time and his expertise, helping put my mind at ease and helping me to know that with his simple advice that everything was going to be OK. He walked me through what I needed to do to have the upper hand and for my child to be safe and where he belongs. He is so specialized in the exact type of thing we were facing, that I knew his predictions and advice would reflect exactly what was going to happen and that there wouldn’t be any surprises. And he was right about everything!! Peter was to the point, honest, direct, and made it known that he was there to preserve my child's rights. A great feeling!! There are not enough good things to say about Peter after all he did for our family!!

He does not listen to you. He is arragoant. He is expensive and seems to advise in a way that runs up your bills. His advice was terrible. My experience of this Attorney is just awful. He is a bully to his own client and will not listen. I do not recommend this Lawyer.

My experience with Mr. Lauzon was completely unbelievable. He got many of the facts wrong, did the opposite in court of what I wanted and discussed with him. Shocking actually.....if I followed his advice and did what he wanted I would have lost custody of my child. I followed my gut instinct and went AGAINST what Mr. Lauzon advised and I got a pretty good order. I wish I would have went against his advice from the beginning, I would have been in a better position for custody...... He also wanted me to negotiate guideline child support!! what, why, it is guideline, he wanted me to take almost $1,000 less than guideline!!!. He cost me money in court via attorney's fees and child support because he didn't have the facts straight, the judge was going with a higher number then Mr. Lauzon jumps in and lowers the amount (wtf!!!) Thank god I didn't negotiate as he advised me to with child support, otherwise I would have been out much more than he managed to in court. Oh, he will charge you for items before you even retain him!!! Read the retainer agreement.....unbelievable...the list goes on.....suppose to be a custody expert in move aways..... not convinced. His staff was good and very attentive, he thinks he is better than he actually is. There are better attorneys out there, with more compassion as well. He doesn't care and it shows.

Peter and crew expertly navigated what turned out to be a very complicated divorce. To have someone in your corner who has seen everything and is not cowed by anyone or any scare tactic, helped me to have peace of mind. The final judgement was exactly what I was looking for and I shudder to think where I might have ended up without Peter.

Divorce is never pleasant and never easy- financially or emotionally. Selecting the right law firm is essential, to be both advocate and to try and minimize the emotions to ensure the best possible outcome. I had terminated my previous law firm, before hiring Peter one year into my divorce proceedings. I was looking for a firm with experience, gravitas and intimate knowledge of the law.

He does not listen to you. He is arragoant. He is expensive and seems to advise in a way that runs up your bills. His advice was terrible. My experience of this Attorney is just awful. He is a bully to his own client and will not listen. I do not recommend this Lawyer.

My experience with Mr. Lauzon was completely unbelievable. He got many of the facts wrong, did the opposite in court of what I wanted and discussed with him. Shocking actually.....if I followed his advice and did what he wanted I would have lost custody of my child. I followed my gut instinct and went AGAINST what Mr. Lauzon advised and I got a pretty good order. I wish I would have went against his advice from the beginning, I would have been in a better position for custody...... He also wanted me to negotiate guideline child support!! what, why, it is guideline, he wanted me to take almost $1,000 less than guideline!!!. He cost me money in court via attorney's fees and child support because he didn't have the facts straight, the judge was going with a higher number then Mr. Lauzon jumps in and lowers the amount (wtf!!!) Thank god I didn't negotiate as he advised me to with child support, otherwise I would have been out much more than he managed to in court. Oh, he will charge you for items before you even retain him!!! Read the retainer agreement.....unbelievable...the list goes on.....suppose to be a custody expert in move aways..... not convinced. His staff was good and very attentive, he thinks he is better than he actually is. There are better attorneys out there, with more compassion as well. He doesn't care and it shows.

Peter and crew expertly navigated what turned out to be a very complicated divorce. To have someone in your corner who has seen everything and is not cowed by anyone or any scare tactic, helped me to have peace of mind. The final judgement was exactly what I was looking for and I shudder to think where I might have ended up without Peter.

Divorce is never pleasant and never easy- financially or emotionally. Selecting the right law firm is essential, to be both advocate and to try and minimize the emotions to ensure the best possible outcome. I had terminated my previous law firm, before hiring Peter one year into my divorce proceedings. I was looking for a firm with experience, gravitas and intimate knowledge of the law. Peter and his Team were that and more. I particularly appreciated his candor- when to push and when to back off, given the specifics of the case. You can burn an almost unlimited amount of money on a divorce and you must know which battles to fight and which to yield on. Peter was almost 100% right on his calls, based on how the case played out. The settlement we initially constructed ended up being very close to the final settlement, though the opposing party wouldn't agree to the initial terms before many wasted hours of court hearings, depositions and court filings. While you can't control the other party, he knew where a good outcome would be, and we got there prior to trial. If you are looking for incomparable experience and advocacy, as well as candor, you must hire Lauzon and his Team. This is not the area to shop for the lowest cost- ultimately what matters is where you end up.

More than five stars if it were an option! Peter and his amazing team including Talia, Nathalie and Cierra are the best!! They gave me quality time back with my child, peace of mind, and the ability to have complete trust in my attorney's skill, calendaring, approach, advice and more. I had used four lower quality attorneys before and even at one point represented myself with negative to disastrous results. His approach is thoughtful, compassionate and measured. I was able to work as close to uninterrupted as possible while a court date loomed and even settled out of court, something that had never ever happened before in over a decade of this matter. WOW!! I know it sounds silly, but in past matters I've also had to calculate all dates and deadlines because my attorneys would lapse and miss dates to submit responses which can be a huge issue because it takes away my side of the story and my voice. Peter's team was on top of it and submitted early and never even cut anything close. Relief! This mattered a lot to me! Peter is a different kind of attorney who works diligently, is humble, makes things easy on the client, and gets things done. Thankful for all he and his team do and highly recommended.

Before I get into the reasons why, I just want start by saying that if I could give Peter and his staff a 7 star rating, I would. I *highly* recommend them. In fact, I *have* recommended them to an acquaintance and that person was also extremely impressed. Now, to the reasons why. Upon first meeting Peter I was struck by just how forthright his manner was. My case was, shall we say, somewhat complex. There was going to be some contention over a non-trivial amount of money. Peter took the time to talk me through the pros and cons of my side of the case and let me know where I stood. He didn't inflate my chances of success just to get business. He went in to detail on where my case was strong and the possible weaknesses. After talking for about 1 hour, I hired Peter. Peter and his staff are always available, should you need them. My divorce took about a year and whenever I reached out, I don't think I ever had to wait more than a few hours to be contacted. This was exactly the kind of security blanket I needed while going through this. Their constant availability kept me from conjuring up horrible scenarios in my head. Instead, they were there with the facts and constant guidance. Peter always took the time to explain things and, most importantly for me, to tell me to remain calm. Throughout the entire process he was a beacon of rationality and reason. It was obvious to me that my ex-wife's attorney was trying his best to pad his fees and drag his feet. The longer this took and the more contentious he could be, the more money he would make and, since I was paying his legal fees, this was fine with my ex-wife. You will *never* feel this from Peter. In fact, it's exactly the opposite. I always felt that Peter went out of his way to do things in a way that would be cost effective for me. He would always give me the upside and downside, both emotionally and monetarily, for a certain decision. That made it much easier for me to decide where to push a point and where to yield. While I eventually settled out of court and managed to avoid going to trial, there were a number of depositions involved. I was impressed with Peter's intelligence and style during these. He was tremendously prepared and on point and it was very, very clear that I was in good hands. If I didn't know better, I would feel that I was the only case that Peter was handling. One of the unfortunate things that occurred was that my ex-wife and her lawyer kept stalling any settlement until very, very close to the trial date. As such, Peter and his associates had to put together a complete trial brief for that trial. As I said, we eventually settled, but I was tremendously impressed with the care, detail and understanding that was put into that brief. Had we gone to trial, I would have felt very comfortable that we were on good footing because of that document. The bottom line here is that I *always* felt like I was in good hands and that Peter and his staff had *MY* best interest in mind. They were there for me and to make sure that the outcome was a positive for me as possible. This review couldn't be complete without mentioning Peter's staff. This divorce was a major life event for me but, truly, this is just job for them. They *NEVER* make you feel that way, though. They go out of their way to be supportive and caring and just plain nice. They always make you feel better about things and that's a pretty big deal when going through this experience. Nobody wants to go through a divorce but, if you do, you should contact Peter. He and his staff will be there for you and make sure you get the best outcome possible.

Peter has been a huge part of my life the past two years. I didn't want to write a quick, hasty review about how great I think he and his associates are, but rather a well, thought out ode to what he has done for me and my newfound life. A little over two years ago, I found out my husband of 13 years was cheating on me via social media. I won't share the dark background about the things I found out about my now ex-husband leading up to me filing, but I will say that Peter was right there with me along the way. Peter and I were connected through a friend of mine after my first lawyer was dragging his feet, not pulling through, and blowing a lot of hot air my way. This friend was on the opposite side of Peter less than a year prior during his own divorce, Peter was my friends ex-wife's lawyer -- to me, that speaks VOLUMES when the very lawyer my friend was up against in court, he is now recommending I hire. And so my journey with Peter began. Upon our first meeting, I was hands down convinced Peter was the right choice as my divorce lawyer. I love Peter because he's very point-blank and he's a number cruncher. He laid it all out on the table as to what I'm entitled to and what I'm not, unlike my previous lawyer who blew smoke up my rear end promising me the world, and then some. Through no fault of my own, I was thrown into this situation where divorce was the only option for me, so its a VERY stressful, scary, and confusing time, especially when you don't expect it. Having an honest, no BS lawyer to guide me through was what I needed, and what I appreciate from people in general. I'm not the kind of person who needs or wants a hand holder, but Peter's empathy and support were always right there. California divorce law is pretty cut and dry: no-fault (meaning adultery is not taken into account) and all community property gets split down the middle. I do not have children, thank goodness, but there were major misappropriations in our marital funds. When you never suspect divorce will happen to you, this is all very overwhelming and terrifying, but I learned a lot along the way -- enough to write a book! Knowing what I was entitled to, Peter held his ground and got me a settlement (without having to go to court) that worked for me as I have special circumstances in that my job is home-based. While every situation and divorce is different, as well as all the "advice" from people you get along the way, I can honestly say that Peter was a beacon of light in many ways in a very dark time for me. After experiencing the first lawyer I hired who promised it all, then being connected with Peter, I have seen both sides of family law, and I would not hesitate for a second recommending Peter to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce or family lawyer. Peter and his staff have been nothing but a God-send to me, all of them very personable, warm, caring, and most of all, AVAILABLE, all the while keeping you on track with what to expect and explaining how things happen. I can't thank you enough Peter -- and your staff too! I endured the worst experience of my life with your guidance. I felt like my life would never be the same, but now I'm happier than I've ever been, free of a bad person, and looking forward to a wonderful future! I wholeheartedly recommend Lauzon Family Law.

Over the years I have referred numerous family law matters to Mr. Lauzon. Everyone of the clients have reported to me that he handled their matter with wisdom, and legal expertise to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits. I only refer my family law matters to Mr. Lauzon

Peter Lauzon is an absolutely superb attorney! I was worrying about an interstate custody enforcement matter regarding my multiply disabled child. Peter was very knowledgeable, understanding, and gracious with his time and his expertise, helping put my mind at ease and helping me to know that with his simple advice that everything was going to be OK. He walked me through what I needed to do to have the upper hand and for my child to be safe and where he belongs. He is so specialized in the exact type of thing we were facing, that I knew his predictions and advice would reflect exactly what was going to happen and that there wouldn’t be any surprises. And he was right about everything!! Peter was to the point, honest, direct, and made it known that he was there to preserve my child's rights. A great feeling!! There are not enough good things to say about Peter after all he did for our family!!

When you never suspect divorce will happen to you, this is all very overwhelming and terrifying, but I learned a lot along the way -- enough to write a book! Knowing what I was entitled to, Peter held his ground and got me a settlement (without having to go to court) that worked for me as I have special circumstances in that my job is home-based. While every situation and divorce is different, as well as all the "advice" from people you get along the way, I can honestly say that Peter was a beacon of light in many ways in a very dark time for me. After experiencing the first lawyer I hired who promised it all, then being connected with Peter, I have seen both sides of family law, and I would not hesitate for a second recommending Peter to anyone who finds themselves in need of a divorce or family lawyer. Peter and his staff have been nothing but a God-send to me, all of them very personable, warm, caring, and most of all, AVAILABLE, all the while keeping you on track with what to expect and explaining how things happen. I can't thank you enough Peter -- and your staff too! I endured the worst experience of my life with your guidance. I felt like my life would never be the same, but now I'm happier than I've ever been, free of a bad person, and looking forward to a wonderful future! I wholeheartedly recommend Lauzon Family Law.

Over the years I have referred numerous family law matters to Mr. Lauzon. Everyone of the clients have reported to me that he handled their matter with wisdom, and legal expertise to minimize the costs and maximize the benefits. I only refer my family law matters to Mr. Lauzon

Peter Lauzon is an absolutely superb attorney! I was worrying about an interstate custody enforcement matter regarding my multiply disabled child. Peter was very knowledgeable, understanding, and gracious with his time and his expertise, helping put my mind at ease and helping me to know that with his simple advice that everything was going to be OK. He walked me through what I needed to do to have the upper hand and for my child to be safe and where he belongs. He is so specialized in the exact type of thing we were facing, that I knew his predictions and advice would reflect exactly what was going to happen and that there wouldn’t be any surprises. And he was right about everything!! Peter was to the point, honest, direct, and made it known that he was there to preserve my child's rights. A great feeling!! There are not enough good things to say about Peter after all he did for our family!!

He does not listen to you. He is arragoant. He is expensive and seems to advise in a way that runs up your bills. His advice was terrible. My experience of this Attorney is just awful. He is a bully to his own client and will not listen. I do not recommend this Lawyer.

My experience with Mr. Lauzon was completely unbelievable. He got many of the facts wrong, did the opposite in court of what I wanted and discussed with him. Shocking actually.....if I followed his advice and did what he wanted I would have lost custody of my child. I followed my gut instinct and went AGAINST what Mr. Lauzon advised and I got a pretty good order. I wish I would have went against his advice from the beginning, I would have been in a better position for custody...... He also wanted me to negotiate guideline child support!! what, why, it is guideline, he wanted me to take almost $1,000 less than guideline!!!. He cost me money in court via attorney's fees and child support because he didn't have the facts straight, the judge was going with a higher number then Mr. Lauzon jumps in and lowers the amount (wtf!!!) Thank god I didn't negotiate as he advised me to with child support, otherwise I would have been out much more than he managed to in court. Oh, he will charge you for items before you even retain him!!! Read the retainer agreement.....unbelievable...the list goes on.....suppose to be a custody expert in move aways..... not convinced. His staff was good and very attentive, he thinks he is better than he actually is. There are better attorneys out there, with more compassion as well. He doesn't care and it shows.
