About

I represent clients in a variety of legal matters, ranging from estate planning and administration, to immigration law and litigation in criminal matters. I have been practicing law since 2009, and enjoy assisting clients with issues that affect their everyday life.During law school, I developed a keen interest in estate planning while studying estates and trusts. I also gained courtroom experience during a clerkship at the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office in downtown Portland. Having lived abroad and being the son of immigrants, I understand the importance of knowing the ins and outs of applying immigration benefits and realize the importance of effective communication with clients and different government agencies. I find satisfaction in assisting clients from all over the world and from different backgrounds.I believe in providing competent, cost effective legal representation. Former clients often contact me or refer family and friends to represent them in ongoing issues or other areas of the law. I am a Shareholder at Hillsboro Law Group PC.Outside of the office, I enjoy the outdoors, family, food, music and sports.

We consulted Peter to understand the implications of DECR vs dismissal and implications for immigration. He was able to steer our lawyer towards a civil compromise and we had no issues with immigration. In contrast another lawyer we spoke to made it seem like it was hopeless and we would face dire consequences etc etc but Peter was honest and clear in his assessment and gave us all possible scenarios. He also appreciated that we had done our research.

Peter was professional, friendly and easy to talk with on our Living Trust. Definitely would use him again for legal advice.

I highly recommend Peter Tovey to all people with immigration case needs. In my case, Peter handled my wife's application for change in visa status and application for her green card in a professional and very expedient manner. He explained the entire process to us, guided us through all the steps, and everything happened exactly the way he said it would, including all the timing of steps and events. And he did all this with what I consider to be amazing personal care and responsiveness. Many many thanks to Peter for all his help and of course for the successful results achieved in much shorter than expected time!

My immigration case was complicated and I was having a very hard time with my situation until I decided to hire Peter Tovey. Peter made everything simple and helped in such a way that i didn't have to worry anymore. Peter was professional, reliable, kept me informed at all time, and asked me precisely what he needed at each step in order to proceed. My case ended successfully. I would highly recommend Peter Tovey, who was referred to me by the Fortune-500 company that I work for.

There are a number of attorneys out there, but not everybody is trustworthy, knowledgeable, or responsive. I have been Mr. Tovey's client for about 9 months, and he was the best lawyer I have ever experienced. He has in-depth knowledge in his areas and will share his insightful thoughts with you. If he does not know the answer to your question (which will happen as long as you are working with any professional human-being), he will get the answer and respond as soon as he can. Based on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Tovey to anybody who needs an attorney in his areas and considers to hire one.

Our limited past experience with attorneys had been time consuming and expensive with only mediocre results. When our son was in need and the court appointed Peter Tovey, we didn't hold out much hope. We were SO wrong. Peter met with our son and daughter right away, gave them his time, expertise and a "to-do" list. He gave them hope while managing realistic expectations. They got all their ducks in a row and Peter had the matter resolved with a dismissal within 6 weeks. He kept them informed of progress and immediately let them know when the charges were dismissed. He restored our confidence and although we hope to never need legal help again, we would not hesitate to use and recommend Peter Tovey.

Peter Tovey represented my son in an open and shut case that initially showed little or no hope of being decided in my son's favor. Mr. Tovey skillfully steered myself and my son through the legal process, keeping us well informed and staying entirely supportive the entire time. Peter's careful strategizing and valuable legal counsel paid off in an outcome that promises to enable my son to begin his life anew.

Peter aided me in my 2014 DACA renewal case. For some reason USCIS was holding back my DACA renewal decision. It took almost 5 months for them to make a decision even thought I had already been approved in the 2012 DACA application. I believe they finally came to decision thanks to Peter and his intervention in contacting them through a well planned letter. Throughout the entire case Peter was very helpful and was always trying his best to resolve the case. I would definitely come back as a client if I ever need any assistant with another case. Thank you Peter.
