What Our Clients Say
“This was my first time in a legal situation, and it was managed well by Matthew and the law office. He was upfront with the strategy he was taking, and with the costs. The outcome was favorable to me, and my case was dismissed which was the best I could hope for in the district I was in. I would recommend Matthew Peterson to others in a similar situation that I was in, and I am going to use him for a Family Law situation in the near future. The cost/retainer for that is reasonable too.”
