Sound, balanced counsel from Pete during my divorce proceedings. Level headed and friendly with minimal emotion, while coaching me with how absurd, unreasonable, and emotional the other side would be. Knew tactical moves and positioning very well - for me and what my ex-wife would try (via her attorneys). Very comfortable in knowing he represented me. Never felt he was trying to drive up billable hours. Happy I hired him.
This attorney was knowledgeable and, most importantly, transparent. He didn’t frivolously charge me for every single, tiny interaction (although he isn’t cheap either)... but my ex-husband’s attorney didn’t! You get what you pay for. He was also honest with me about his knowledge in regards to opposing counsel for my divorce. He allowed me to be involved in editing documents as I felt comfortable, carefully reviewing them after the fact to ensure that they were realistic and enforceable. He was quick on his feet in helping me get out of a very tough spot, especially upon initial consultation. In fact, he had an emergency document drawn up for me within an hour! I walked away from my divorce with my sanity and proper child-support/parenting time of my child without having to go to court (all settled between the two attorneys). He comes across as fair, realistic, and level-headed.
I was extremely pleased with Peter's representation of my interests during my divorce. Peter was reliable, professional, trustworthy and always looked out for my best interests. I would strongly recommend Peter to anyone seeking counsel in a family law matter.
Peter helped me with my divorce. It was a very hard time for me, but Peter was very good at dealing with everything. He was compassionate, but also knew when to push me to protect myself. He is incredibly good at what he does. He was recommended to me by another client of his who also had a great experience. I'm blown away by his tact, smarts, and decency. He will push for what's right and fair and he will get it...and then some. Divorce is so hard, but Peter really made it less painful. I felt protected and walked away better than I ever expected. I can't thank him enough. I HIGHLY recommend him.
I used Peter as my divorce attorney and couldn't have been happier with his service. Being new to the divorce process, he took the time to explain each part of the process to be and was very timely in his responses. I'd definitely recommend Peter as an attorney to use!
I hired Mr. Wifler for my divorce. I consulted him first, he spent time with me and answered all my questions. I hired him shortly after that with the standard retainer. He came highly recommended from several people in Lake Zurich. From start to finish, my divorce was 10 months. He explained all aspects of the process, was very thorough with his interaction with me and the opposing attorney. There was also a paralegal assigned to my case that I could speak to if I needed something when Peter was not available. I am very pleased with the representation I received from Mr. Wifler.
The best decision I ever made, when dealing with my divorce, was hiring Peter. My divorce was very difficult. And I couldn't have gotten through it without him. He is extremely knowledgable and very experienced. He knows the other attorneys in the area and he knows the judges. This is very important when making decisions related to things like mediators and Guardian ad Litems. He made significant strategic decisions that were crucial in my case. You don't normally get everything you want when going through a divorce, but I got most of what I wanted, and he fought for the things that mattered most to me. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my divorce. Peter is clearly a very good attorney. But more importantly, he is a very good person. I always felt better after I talked to him. He calmed me down and helped me get through an extemely difficult time in my life. I can't thank him enough for everything he did for me.
I was very happy overall with how things went with my case. Peter patiently explained the process and the paperwork as we worked through the issues. He worked well with difficult opposing counsel. He responded promptly to my phone calls and emails. He helped me understand the law and what outcomes I could realistically expect. I felt like I was in good hands.
