About
I believe that for many couples and families, a mindful approach is the answer to reaching simple, graceful, and amicable solutions to their family law matters. Instead of going to court, I apply mediation and collaborative methods to my clients’ divorce, support arrangements, child custody, prenuptial agreements, and more. I help them transition from working together in one way to working together in another way, all the while avoiding as much stress and tension as possible.Having worked in the family law field for more than three decades, I combine my years of legal knowledge with respectful representation and personal commitment. Bringing this level of dedication to work every day means my clients’ goals and needs are met as we move toward a resolution best for all concerned.I earned my law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, and I have a Spiritual Counseling Certification from the University of Santa Monica. I am actively involved in the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals and the Collaborative Law Professionals of Southeastern Pennsylvania.

Amazing job on explaining the process and making us understand why and what is important in living will. As it was our first time going through this process, felt trusted with legal documents.
Peter Bort & his associates were the most wonderful, caring supportive, thorough lawyer & law office imaginable. We needed Wills for both of us, Power of Attorney, Living Will & all of the other paperwork necessary to feel secure. Peter emailed the initial questionnaires so that we could conveniently fill them out. We spoke on the phone & he answered all our questions. When the paperwork was completed, we went to the office to assemble & sign the paperwork & we were finished! It was so easy & painless, so efficient & effective. Thank you so much for making what seems like such a daunting task so manageable & pleasant. We appreciate your time, caring & expertise!
I worked with Bort Law to appeal my property taxes in Chester country. The process and experience was seamless. The Bort team made things very easy and clear. And most importantly, the outcomes of our efforts were great! Would definitely recommend. Thank you Bort team.
Easy to work with and responsive. Did my estate planning, will and power of attorney. I would use them again for any legal needs.
Just want to thank Peter and his staff for providing excellent communication, service and speedy results to my hassle free divorce. Excellent team work doing these uncertain times.....COVID 19.
Mr. Bort handled our divorce with attention, care and timeliness. He was available to answer our questions and his staff is professional and pleasant to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable and his judgement can be trusted. We could not have asked for a better outcome.
Mr. Bort was recommended by our company legal services and my wife and I are very glad he was. He is local, which means a lot to us. We decided to take advantage of the quarantine time to get our final papers in order, and Mr. Bort was amazingly helpful, professional, and efficient. His legal assistant was just as kind and knowledgeable. After just two phone calls, we received the first drafts of our documents. Two calls later and all our documents were ready to be signed and notarized. I cannot imagine how he and his team could have been more kind, courteous, professional, or effective. Highly recommended from personal experience.
Peter was my attorney for my recent collaborative divorce. At our first meeting, he asked my goals for the process and the outcome. And he consistently worked to meet them. He helped me understand the process and kept me informed on what to expect. At all times, Peter was very accessible - returning my calls and emails very quickly. He was level headed (and kept me that way!), interested in driving to the best solution for everyone, and worked to do so as quickly as possible. I found him to be trustworthy throughout and highly recommend him!
Initially, I agreed to share my wife's attorney to keep costs down. However, I became concerned when the initial draft of our property agreement was vastly different from that which she and I initially discussed and. it was at that time that I decided to retain my own attorney and was referred to Peter by my cousin who was represented by Peter during her divorce. During my initial consultation with Peter, I was impressed from the very start. He presented as calm, focused, and confident. Peter took the time to listen to my concerns while he also reviewed the initial draft of the property agreement. He educated me with regards to that which I was entitled to in the agreement while pointing out the discrepancies between my rights and the initial draft. Then, Peter presented a focused and detailed action plan that was designed to assure that my rights and best interest were being maintained. Peter initiated the action plan by communicating with my "ex's" attorney in a timely manner. Peter communicated all of his actions to me diligently and consistently as well. I felt well informed and well apprised of the status and progress of my case throughout its duration. Peter answered my emails in a timely manner as well while addressing any questions or concerns I asserted in a professional manner. After our Case Conference Hearing in March, the four of us convened in an empty courtroom to attempt to reach a final agreement with regards to the property settlement. Here, Peter took complete control of the exchange and proved to be a strategic, focused, and goal oriented negotiator. I truly enjoyed watching him work. Our property agreement was settled within less than an hour and we conceded only a few minor items that become irrelevant with the new tax law in the coming year. All in all, I felt well represented by Peter. He was detail oriented, highly knowledgeable, confident, and timely. He produced everything he promised and left nothing to chance. He was truly "on top of his game" at all times. In summary, Peter made sure that I was treated fairly during the negotiations and divorce process. He made sure that limits were set on my liabilities with regards to our children's expenses such as cars, college, and health care. Additionally and as a direct result of Peter's efforts, I was made aware that I was entitled to and granted significant portions of my "ex's" retirement funds which included a 401K and two pensions. This would have gone unrecognized if not for Peter. Peter is a credit to his profession and one to which the standards of others should aspire. I would recommend him to anyone any time.
My contact with Mr. Bort's office was surprisingly brief as they were so quick and easy to work with; they really helped me attain a fast resolution by always turning paperwork around fast and accurately while keeping me fully informed of the process. I found everyone on staff knowledgeable and helpful and I felt that my interests were fully understood and protected.
