I've used Peter twice to help with with court appearances and making (what proved to be false) accusations from the police go away. Each time he was great, explaining clearly each step of the process and minimizing anxiety and stress. Not only was he completely successful in having all charges dropped and my record clearled but was extremely reasonable in costs. Fully recommend

I have no complaints about working with Peter. He was quick to communicate any changes in our case and worked hard towards our goals. I would highly recommend him.

Mr Evans was recommended to me when I needed help with a family issue and was low on funds because he offers bargain rates. wasn’t worth it. Endedup losing more money because I had to go hire another attorney to take over. Time had been lost by trying to work with Mr Evans. He’s SO disorganized and comes from a personal angry place about his own life that clouded our interactions and his advice. It was awful and I didn’t know how awful until I hired another attorney.
