About

I am proud to represent clients in whatever family law issue they may be facing, whether it be a divorce, a paternity case, a custody or parenting time dispute, a child or spousal support issue, or enforcement or modification of a previous court order.  I limit my practice exclusively to family law because family law cases are important to the people involved in a way that no other kind of cases are.  It is very rewarding to represent clients who are dealing with issues that really matter - not just to them, but to those who depend on them.  I provide my clients with the information and support they need to make informed, rational decisions about their goals and strategies for resolving whatever issues they face.  This goal-oriented approach helps ensure that my clients' cases are resolved as quickly and cost-effectively as they can be.  Whenever possible, my clients and I first attempt to reach their goals through cooperation with the other side.  If those efforts are not successful, we use the tools provided by the court system to attain my clients' goals with the least possible emotional wear-and-tear along the way.  Either way, the focus remains the same: helping my clients through a difficult time in their lives and achieving the best possible resolution.

Peter was very helpful and kind all throughout my divorce proceedings. He patiently answered my many questions and set my mind at ease. I felt confident in his abilities and skillset and felt he always had my best interests at heart in a difficult and emotional time. Very professional yet assertive. I highly recommend Peter!

I retained Peter as my divorce attorney and he was fantastic to work with. In the intake call, he was patient and thorough in explaining the process. He's focused on client well-being and pursues fair outcomes, especially regarding children. Fortunately, we eventually reconciled and avoided divorce, but Peter was supportive each step of the way and was a trusted attorney during this difficult time. Highly recommend.

Peter did an outstanding job handling my divorce. He clearly explained the entire process, and was always in close communication. We had some financial issues between my ex spouse and I that needed to be cleaned up during COVID.. Peter was very diligent getting all this completed during this very difficult time. Peters billing rates were also very fair compared to similar attorneys, I would highly recommend.

I called Peter initially because of location, but he provided outstanding work, with the result I was hoping for. His professionalism and communication skills made the whole process seem effortless, in what was a stressful environment. Should you require legal represent I would have no hesitation in referring Peter.

Peter was extremely diligent, thorough and responsive when dealing with my case. He was successful in getting it dismissed. If I have to use an attorney’s services in the future, I will definitely be contacting him.

Peter explained the divorce process in complete detail. He was always available to answer any and all questions. He looked out for my kids and myself to make sure everything was done in our best interests. He made a difficult situation smooth.

Mr. Bissett and the personnel at the office were a pleasure to work with. Mr. Bissett answered all my questions and did what I asked with regards to processing QDRO's for my ex and I. He explained what the office would do and provided itemized statements. The whole process went smoothly and was completed in a timely manner. There is an upfront retainer fee but if any amount is left over after services are completed, this amount would be returned. I would definitely use this office again for legal services.

Peter Bissett?!! All I can say is truly AWESOME!! Very calm and understanding, something I needed during this time. Thank you for caring. He was more than a lawyer. He was like a counselor and friend. My emotions got the best of me at times but he always knew how to keep me calm. LOL! He was always the eye of the tornado (Me). Very thorough, gave great sound advice and wisdom every step of the way....what can I say? He was GREAT! If I could hire him for other areas of law I would hire him for EVERYTHING! ;-) Again Thank you Peter, for your diligence and understanding through this difficult time and transition of my life!

No one ever goes into a marriage expecting a divorce, but sometimes unforeseen circumstances warrant the decision. When I first called Peter for a consultation, I was very scared and very confused. At the time, I wasn't even sure if I wanted a divorce. Peter was extremely patient with me and he answered all of my questions with ease. He did not pressure me to make any decisions and he did not try to "sell" his services. That was how I knew I trusted him. Once I was certain I wanted to file, Peter got the ball rolling quickly and efficiently. My case involved the care and protection of three young children, and Peter placed them at the forefront of the process. He was very organized, well-informed, and meticulous. I knew the whole process (and the resulting Judgement) was in very capable hands. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone considering a divorce.

My divorce started out so easy, I didn't think I needed an attorney. Of course (as divorces go) I was wrong. After six months of getting nowhere with my ex wife, I hired Peter. Peter handled everything swiftly and efficiently and got me the outcome I was hoping for. He is diligent, professional, and fair. He was so efficient, I even got money back. I was referred to Peter, and I would refer him to anyone looking for a competent, open minded and fair attorney.
