About

I provide general representation in a wide array of cases state and federal. I do not represent people in immigration proceedings and I cannot represent people in bankruptcies because I agreed not to with my credit card provider so I can accept your credit cards. I also provide specialized representation in the areas surrounding the family. I defend people falsely accused of child abuse in those instances when domestic relations law is used to gain a tactical advantage in divorce court.---Honorably Discharged VeteranAirborne School, Fort Benning, GA, 1981Infantry Officer Basic Course, 1982Infantry Mortar Platoon Officer Course, Fort Benning, GA, 1982US Army Berlin Brigade July, 1982 through May, 1985Infantry Officer Advanced Course, Fort Benning, GA, 1985Fort Dix, October 2, 1985 through March 23rd, 1989Combined Arms Services Staff School, Ft.

But general, academic answers are good for educational and discussion purposes only and are not reliable when applied to real situations.I answer only the questions that are asked. The poster and I have only limited opportunity to ask follow-up questions of each other, so I do not expand the answer to include discussion of questions that would have been or should have been asked if we were talking face to face.I rely on the facts as posted in the question. I have no opportunity to investigate the facts or evaluate the truthfulness of the person who posted the facts behind the question. I have only limited opportunity to inquire about the views on the other side in the dispute.I have only limited opportunity to examine the poster’s documents pertaining to the question. Even though it is technically possible for a poster to post a contract or other document, I have only limited ability to inquire about correspondence and conversations leading up to or interpreting the document.The only value anyone can derive from my answers is (a) direction to the legal issues that I think apply to the facts posted, (b) improved ability to do research into the laws of the poster's state or country and (c) improved ability to ask questions of the poster's attorney. My answers have no value as, and must not be relied on as legal advice.

I hired Peter for a custody dispute. Unlike past attorney's I have used he was easy to get a hold of. He answered all my questions, spent numerous amounts of time talking to me and took me step by step. He was familiar with the courts, judges, referees and AFC's and was able to give me the best advice on the situation. Although I ran out of money and couldn't proceed with his advice, I would highly recommend Peter to someone else. He is a relentless advocate.

Mr. Lomtevas is legally as sharp as a knife. Where lawyers may often be cursory or cloaked in their approach, he is transparent, strategic, and essentially, brilliant. He is also very protective of his clients' human rights. I sought expert legal counsel from him and got it! After speaking to him, you will want to retain him permanently. I could only speculate about the kind of litigator he must be. Avvo is very fortunate to have him on their team!

I would consider myself lucky being able to retain Peter. I should move downstate and keep him on permanent retainer. He could change lives for the better up here. There are very few Knights in the World today. Make sure you Express Gratitude for taking his time. It's worth more than Gold

I called Peter's office a couple of days ago, asking for an urgent advice with an ACS investigation. Peter spent over half an hour on the phone with me, reviewing the circumstances and giving me practical advice. When I offered to reimburse him for his time he refused saying that he does not milk ppl. He is definitely on top of the list of attorneys I consider for my case. I am really grateful for his time and support.

Thank you for everything you did while representing me. At a time when I was confused and overwhelmed you were a calming voice of reason. I will not hesitate to call you if the need arises.

The man is exceptional and very straight forward, something which is very appreciated. He Knows What He IS Talking About. Does Not Throw Misguided, Rhetorical or Hypotheticals at You, when He Speaks to His Clients. Spent Over 3 Hours With me Just for Consultation. He Is Worth Every Penny He Gains.

Peter is a brilliant thinker, he's kind, compassionate and is 100% on your side! He is the first lawyer that I have ever met that couldn't be bought or influenced by the opposing side. When I first retained Peter, opposing counsel called him to suggest that he team up with her to damage me. Not only was Peter shocked by this unprofessional behavior but he bitterly complained about it to appropriate authorities and used this behavior against the lawyer in my proceeding. Peter is available to his clients at all times of the day and night, you literally become a family member. His ability to think outside the box and anticipate the exact legal strategy the opponent will employ has resulted in the complete demolition of the oppositions case. After Peter was done at my trial, opposing counsel, the AFC and most importantly the judge were stunned into speechlessness. Peter is my attorney for life!!

Peter Lomtevas is smart, highly capable and was able to navigate the complexity of my situation. I'd spoken to a few others lawyers who said there was nothing I could do in regards to a divorce stipulation. I spoke with Peter a few times on the phone, he looked at my paperwork, and offered not only his advice but a solution, which worked in court. And another plus: he charges a flat rate so you don't feel like the clock is ticking when you speak to him on the phone, which is the case with most lawyers. I can't say enough positive things about Peter. He knows and understands the law and will tell you clearly what you are dealing with—and how to navigate the issues at hand.
