I spoke to a few other lawyers before Peter and he was hands down the one I trusted for my situation upon our first conversation. My situation was pretty clean cut and I found his pricing to be very fair. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and thorough. He took a lot of stress off of me and gave me one less thing to worry about in an otherwise very unpleasant situation. I would absolutely recommend him for your legal needs.

Mr. Axelrod took what was the worse time in my life and allowed me to not only grieve and process my loss, but made sure I was legally taken care throughout the collaborative divorce process. His background in counseling psychology made him compassionate and easy to talk to with my concerns. His years specializing in collaborative law allowed myself and ex-husband to reach an agreement that I found to be fair to both parties. Mr. Axelrod definitely went the extra mile in making me feel comfortable, heard and be an active participant in the outcome of my divorce. I will always remember him saying to me, "Of course you do not know, have you ever been divorced before?". This simple statement not only made me laugh, but made me realize that he was there to help me navigate uncharted waters every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mr. Axelrod to anyone who is looking to avoid arbitration.

Divorce is difficult experience. Peter was extremely helpful in helping me navigate through the process. Keeping me grounded and walking me through the seemingly endless details at the same time being empathetic with all of the inevitable emotions that you expect in this experience. I felt well represented participating in the collaborative process.

Navigating the choppy waters of finances in the context of a newly committed relationship was too hard for my life partner and me, so we turned to Peter for guidance. What a good decision that was! Peter is a great listener. He took time to think carefully about what we presented and offered wise counsel. We got the information we needed, and worked through the challenging questions he put to us. It was a great gift to find this kind of help. The consultation was enough. We left his office feeling relieved, grateful, and more in control of our situation. To anyone searching for help in Peter's areas of expertise, I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Peter Axelrod took what could have been a very difficult process and made it manageable. His kind manner combined with considerable knowledge and experience made him the perfect choice for me.

Peter was able to create a bridge between my former spouse and I, no easy task as we had been seeing life from opposite ends of the spectrum. He artistically guided the process in a way that brought about a fair and balanced resolution, creating a solid foundation for my ex and I to work together in the future, especially as we continue to co-parent. Working with Peter has saved time, money and the considerable heartache that often occurs when matters of the heart and a high level of fear are in play. Peter was understanding and helpful on all these levels. He communicated clearly throughout the process and followed through on the work he promised, including going above and beyond to ensure our deadlines were met. Peter is an understanding person with a considerable gift to share with those who are often at a place in their lives when they are hurting the most. I appreciate all he did during this profound transition in my life, and full-heartedly recommend Peter to anyone in need of this important work

Peter is a fantastic divorce attorney and mediator. He is always professional, thorough and responsive. Divorce is one of the most challenging things you can go through and he strives to make the process as amicable and pain free as possible. I appreciated his balanced advice and guidance through start to finish. He is a wonderful resource and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him, he is worth every penny!

I contacted Peter to fast-track a prenuptial agreement. He met with me and my partner soon afterwards and was very clear in his explanations about all relevant parameters to the agreement. Peter also referred my partner to another lawyer strengthen the integrity of the agreement. He was also very patient with all of our questions and accommodating in our requests for the agreement. The agreement was completed in a week--a very impressive feat given the many particulars in our case and requests made. Peter ensured the quick completion of this agreement with his clear instructions and prompts. We believe Peter went over and above what was required of him. I will contact Peter again for future requests and would strongly recommend Peter to friends.

I used Peter for a mediation divorce. It was quick and seamless. He was very kind and thorough.

Peter represented me in my recent divorce case. It was a difficult case in that neither side was speaking, and there were many intertwined assets. Peter was able to work through the difficult negotiations with the other side and show what was fair and just. He knows the laws and was very helpful to me in navigating through the legal system. His advise was clear, concise and accurate. With Peter's expertise, I was able to settle my case through mediation/arbitration when at the beginning it seemed that would not happen. He did a fantastic job and was able to reach a fair settlement, while saving me thousands in fees staying out of court.

Mr. Axelrod is totally committed to his clients. He helped me through an out-of-state divorce. Mr. Axelrod is very knowledgeable, honest, attentive, and helpful. I had no recommendations for attorneys and just picked him from the reviews I saw here. Luck of the draw? Maybe. But I believe that I absolutely could not have found a better attorney than Mr. Axelrod. I highly recommend him to anyone needing this type of attorney. Look no further, he is the best.

I've used Peter on two occasions now (for a divorce and for a prenuptial agreement) and he is always very professional, attentive, and supportive. The prenuptial agreement we just completed was a piece of cake. I've never done one of this before and he was very helpful in helping me understanding all of the issues involved and other things I may want to consider. We completed this in a timely manner and hopefully I will never have to use it but if I do, I know I'm covered. I highly recommend him and think he is an outstanding lawyer and individual.
