Mr. Peters, from the first interaction, displayed professionalism, thorough knowledge of topic, and answered my questions right on. He understands timing and does his very best to follow up and follow through. He outlined for me the plan and gave his insights. His office and staff are courteous. He is truly a professional. A great family law attorney. Highly recommend.

I wanted to take a minute and thank Rich for his excellent advise and timely processing of a Custody Modification. Rich is well communicated and VERY seasoned in his field. I felt as if he was on our side and very reasonable with his advice that was most beneficial for the child. He handled all the paperwork and gave clear direction . Staff was very helpful as well. I highly recommend Rich Peters for any family law issues. Thanks again Rich!

I did my research before finally arranging to have a consult with Rich. From that initial visit, he made me feel comfortable about the long process that we were about to embark on. Knowing that I had him in my corner made things a lot easier! I had a tough battle ahead of me with the mother of my child. There were always questions as to whether the child was mine and at every opportunity, the other party blocked my ability to establish paternity, denied me a chance at enjoying parenting time with my child until it was ordered by the courts, and found numerous other methods of adding stress and strain both financially and in my family's life. Times that should have been special like marrying my beautiful wife, adopting her son, and my wife and I welcoming our first child together should have been cherished milestones and while they were special, the court/custody process always seemed to cast a shadow over things. At several instances, I assumed I was fighting another losing battle because of status updates or outcomes of hearings, but Rich would come through with another avenue to pursue. Through a near 18 month court process, Rich fought hard for my rights, and kept me informed every step of the way. He walked me through everything we filed and why we were filing it so I really felt like I had some control of a situation that was weighing heavily on the viewpoint of the family court officials. I didn't always take the setbacks well, but Rich always kept composure and had an ability to put things into perspective for me that would help me want to keep fighting for my daughter. His responses were always in a quick turn-around time and he was very accessible even during non-business hours when situations would arise. In building our case, Rich didn't need to fight "dirty" and built up the focus on me and the ability I had to be a father and the impact I could have in my daughter's life. He always referred to it by telling me "no matter what the other person is doing, we have to be able to show in all aspects that you are essentially Super-Dad." When opportunities to compel the other party to play by the rules, and be reasonable were necessary, Rich aggressively approached those opportunities with her and her representation to continue to progress our objectives in the right direction. Rich made it very clear that as his client, it was in the best interest of my child to have me in her life. Thankfully, I can say that despite all the obstacles and headaches throughout the proceedings, Rich helped me to go from not knowing a child was mine for certain and having no involvement in her life, to establishing paternity, being granted Joint-Legal Decision Making and "Essentially Equal" parenting time. Today, my family and I enjoy every moment we get to share and spend time with my daughter. I owe a great deal of thanks to Rich and his team for all they did for me! I know that if I didn't have an attorney as experienced and knowledgeable as he was, I would not have been able to get the results I did in the timeframe they were done in.

Gave amazing advice helped so much.

Divorce is never easy & many times messy! Rich was always on top of the situation, never gouging my pocket & always there when I needed him! A lawyer w/ principles. I always recommend him!

Rich did a great job with my case. He explained the process and finer points of divorce law and advised me keeping my best interests in mind. Rich was always available by phone or for face to face meetings. Timely in all communication. Would definitely recommend!

My children are my world; the beginning and end for me. Divorce/separations are compounded when children are involved. Many times parents get frustrated when they feel they are not getting the results which will allow them to effectively parent. Though it may seem simple to the naked eye; the court system can be very complicated without someone who more than understands the law but truly takes time to understand the client. Rich has been that and more to my family. At the very worst of times we managed to get through it with him never wavering. Each and every time we have rolled the dice it all seemed to work out in time. Because Rich always reminds me to stay focused – with that I have learned “Wars Are Not Won in A Day” Thank you again Rich

Richard worked with us on a difficult case in 2008 and he and his team was a great help for us! Rich has great work ethics and is very professional, trustworthy and knowledgeable. He and his team worked tirelessly on our case and did a great job! I would highly recommend him to anybody that would need his services!

Mr. Peters is very professional and dedicated to his profession. He respect his clients needs and is excellent in the court room. I will continue to use him even when our child reaches the age of majority. In every respect, I would recommend Mr. Peters. Thank you Rich for everything......

I hired Rich on two occasions: (1) a legal separation; and (2) for my partner to gain guardianship of her grandchild. In both cases Rich was very knowledgeable, explained the "ins and outs" of the applicable laws; gave good advice when requested; followed procedures very well; explained the legal proceedings before they occurred; kept us informed. He listened and followed through on what I/we wanted done. Prior to starting work he gave estimates of the costs which turned out to be pretty close in the end. He did not try to do more than we requested or talk us into doing more with the guardianship than we wanted. He was very helpful and understanding. He was prepared for court. In both cases I got the results I was looking for. My partner was also pleased with the results of the guardianship.

Rich Peters: I am extremely happy with the work you have done on my behalf. Your work could not have been better. I was amazed how you changed the course of my life with the final results that allowed me not having to pay my former wife anymore spousal support as was ordered by the court in the year 2000. For the past 13 years I attempted to find a lawyer who would take my situation seriously and find a loophole that would help me with this terrible agreement that I signed committing myself to life time spousal support. You are the most amazing lawyer I have I ever encountered and I thank you again for the fine work you do. Regards Ron

Rich represented me in a divorce case with favorable results. Honestly, he was not my first stop, I went to 2 other lawyers before I gave him a try. Sometimes a little shopping around pays off. I am totally satisfied with the outcome of my case and would definitely recommend him to others.
