About

Peter is a clear, compassionate and knowledgeable divorce attorney. He is dedicated to helping clients through the difficult transition from marriage to divorce by avoiding the difficulties of adversary proceedings and promoting collaboration and cooperative problem solving.In his law practice, Peter uses only Divorce Mediation and Collaborative Divorce to resolve divorce agreements and complete the case. Cases are only accepted when both parties agree to use one of these settlement approaches.Peter’s has specialized in Divorce Mediation and Collaborative Divorce for more than 25 years. He is a skilled facilitator and is committed to understanding the interests and helping meet the needs of each individual client. Peter has a M.Ed. Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Arizona. He has found that combining his counseling skills with collaborative approaches to problem solving is the most effective and humane way to resolve the legal issues of divorce and legal separation out of court.Peter has learned from long-time experience as a divorce attorney that the legal system can be far from an ideal venue for resolving family legal issues. For many, the traditional adversary culture of resorting to conflict-ridden negotiating and litigation is simply not a useful way to resolve disputes. The focus on right/wrong, good/bad and win/lose is often an impediment to resolution of conflict.For this reason, cooperative settlement approaches like Divorce Mediation and Collaborative Divorce help reduce the emotional and financial stress of divorce. Moreover, such approaches can aid clients in finding their way to healing and more settled lives after the divorce case is completed.

Divorce is difficult experience. Peter was extremely helpful in helping me navigate through the process. Keeping me grounded and walking me through the seemingly endless details at the same time being empathetic with all of the inevitable emotions that you expect in this experience. I felt well represented participating in the collaborative process.

Navigating the choppy waters of finances in the context of a newly committed relationship was too hard for my life partner and me, so we turned to Peter for guidance. What a good decision that was! Peter is a great listener. He took time to think carefully about what we presented and offered wise counsel. We got the information we needed, and worked through the challenging questions he put to us. It was a great gift to find this kind of help. The consultation was enough. We left his office feeling relieved, grateful, and more in control of our situation. To anyone searching for help in Peter's areas of expertise, I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Peter was able to create a bridge between my former spouse and I, no easy task as we had been seeing life from opposite ends of the spectrum. He artistically guided the process in a way that brought about a fair and balanced resolution, creating a solid foundation for my ex and I to work together in the future, especially as we continue to co-parent. Working with Peter has saved time, money and the considerable heartache that often occurs when matters of the heart and a high level of fear are in play. Peter was understanding and helpful on all these levels. He communicated clearly throughout the process and followed through on the work he promised, including going above and beyond to ensure our deadlines were met. Peter is an understanding person with a considerable gift to share with those who are often at a place in their lives when they are hurting the most. I appreciate all he did during this profound transition in my life, and full-heartedly recommend Peter to anyone in need of this important work

Peter is a fantastic divorce attorney and mediator. He is always professional, thorough and responsive. Divorce is one of the most challenging things you can go through and he strives to make the process as amicable and pain free as possible. I appreciated his balanced advice and guidance through start to finish. He is a wonderful resource and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him, he is worth every penny!

I contacted Peter to fast-track a prenuptial agreement. He met with me and my partner soon afterwards and was very clear in his explanations about all relevant parameters to the agreement. Peter also referred my partner to another lawyer strengthen the integrity of the agreement. He was also very patient with all of our questions and accommodating in our requests for the agreement. The agreement was completed in a week--a very impressive feat given the many particulars in our case and requests made. Peter ensured the quick completion of this agreement with his clear instructions and prompts. We believe Peter went over and above what was required of him. I will contact Peter again for future requests and would strongly recommend Peter to friends.

Peter represented me in my recent divorce case. It was a difficult case in that neither side was speaking, and there were many intertwined assets. Peter was able to work through the difficult negotiations with the other side and show what was fair and just. He knows the laws and was very helpful to me in navigating through the legal system. His advise was clear, concise and accurate. With Peter's expertise, I was able to settle my case through mediation/arbitration when at the beginning it seemed that would not happen. He did a fantastic job and was able to reach a fair settlement, while saving me thousands in fees staying out of court.

Mr. Axelrod is totally committed to his clients. He helped me through an out-of-state divorce. Mr. Axelrod is very knowledgeable, honest, attentive, and helpful. I had no recommendations for attorneys and just picked him from the reviews I saw here. Luck of the draw? Maybe. But I believe that I absolutely could not have found a better attorney than Mr. Axelrod. I highly recommend him to anyone needing this type of attorney. Look no further, he is the best.

I've used Peter on two occasions now (for a divorce and for a prenuptial agreement) and he is always very professional, attentive, and supportive. The prenuptial agreement we just completed was a piece of cake. I've never done one of this before and he was very helpful in helping me understanding all of the issues involved and other things I may want to consider. We completed this in a timely manner and hopefully I will never have to use it but if I do, I know I'm covered. I highly recommend him and think he is an outstanding lawyer and individual.
