MR Thorton has mastered his craft!

I don’t think Peter fully grasped how convoluted my case would be when he took me on as a client. There where twists and turns at every step in the way, which he literally had to search for legal precedent from around the country. Issues came up with how to work with arbitration clauses, that house that was joint titled with my ex’s parents, and a host of other issues. Peter not only did his homework, he demonstrated his brilliance on navigating the complexities and coming to a settlement that we all felt was fair and equitable. To be honest, at times I didn’t make things any easier for him, yet he was able to effectively ensure things all got straightened out, with much patients pragmatism and wisdom. Perhaps the greatest asset of having Peter as my lawyer was when he did not allow me to make certain compromises, showing how capitulating to certain demands made by my ex and her family while on the surface would seem to be not a problem but left room to open a pandora’s box of legal issues in the future. His guidance and sensibility not only helped me through the legal side of things but greatly assisted with helping get through this difficult chapter in my life with dignity and grace. I would highly recommend Peter and his firm in the unfortunate times when divorce is necessary.

I was referred to Peter by another attorney. My case was different not a complicated one, however I live in a different state and I needed an attorney in Georgia. Most of our meetings were by phone and I found Peter and his paralegal Megan to be professional, and approachable. By the end of our second consultation I God had put me in the right place. Peter was accessible as well resourceful. At anytime I knew I could email, and or pick up the phone to ask questions or just to have reassurance. The first time we met face to face was 6 months after the initial phone call. While there are no guarantees for out come. Peter would always make sure he had all the facts to make the best decisions and move in the right directions that were pertinent to my case. He is extremely knowledgeable on the law. If I were to look back and identify one thing that was notable it would be how well he writes. Peter is thorough and as I said he knows the law. The combination of these two things certainly makes him a great lawyer! Oh ....and we won!

Thank you so much, Peter, This was a small victory. Your fairness, compassion, and tenacity in representing me were truly God Sent. I feel that I have made a new friend in the ATL. Blessings to you and your family. When I needed affordable legal help, you worked with me, across state lines, and across a multitude of miles.......

Peter did a great job, he got me all I asked and more. He explained me the process and was very patient at all times, kept me focused on the important things and was available when I needed him. He is very direct, calm and explains everything clearly, giving you knowable advice.

I chose Peter Rivner to represent me in my divorce after consulting with several attorneys. It was in large part due to his ability to listen to specifics of the case and provide realistic expectations in a way which resonated with me. I am extremely happy that I chose him, as he achieved far above and beyond what I could have hoped for. With his thorough knowledge of the typical outcomes for a wide range scenarios and unwavering insistence on a fair outcome for me, we were able to negotiate a settlement which was much less onerous than the initial requests from the other party. In addition, Peter was quite empathic in dealing with a situation which often lays one's intimate personal life bare in a way which can be excruciating. In many ways, a good attorney such as Peter can be both attorney and therapist, insofar as he must both deal with the emotional gut reaction as well as guide the logical next steps to form a proactive legal case. I cannot recommend Peter highly enough! I am extremely satisfied with my outcome, and I think you will be too.

It’s nerve racking to go to court, there is no better preparation than a competent lawyer. At the bare minimum, one who understands the law, the legal system, the court procedures and has experience at the particular court where your case is. Peter provided all of that. In addition, he was professional, strategic, detail-oriented, focused and committed to the outcome I was targeting. He was easy to reach and easy to talk to. He gave valuable advice, but also respected my concerns and opinions and together we were able chart a path forward. He ensured that I covered all my bases and remained a step ahead of the plaintiff (at least, that's how I felt). Overall I was very pleased with the outcome of his representation and recommend him highly.

I could not have asked for a better divorce lawyer then Peter Rivner. He fought to get the best outcome for me and my children - something you can’t put a value on. He was accurate in his judgements with concern to how things would probably play out even when I was not. He calmed my fears when things got very complicated and kept me on track of all my paperwork. He certainly went the extra mile and I can’t imagine having the outcome I did without his excellant service.

I won and got everything I asked for....Tenacious is one of the words I can use to describe him. He provided straightforward and clear guidance during my very difficult time. I was also very surprised how he was able to keep my " Hot Head "spouse calm during mediations. No matter what underhanded ideas my spouse had, Atty. Rivner handled it and used it against my spouse in court. In all my dealings with him he never missed an appointment nor failed to return my phone call promptly. His staff is very supportive, patient and professional. If you do not hire this high quality lawyer... you better watch out if your spouse hires him! You do not want to go against this lawyer. The way he handled himself in court was very professional and I was amazed at the eloquence and accuracy of his words to target the other side. The opposing lawyer could not hold a candle to him. "If you want to win, hire him!"
