Jim is smart, a great listener, immediately appreciates the complexity of the situation and able to provide legal perspective based on decades of experience. I could not have selected a better divorce attorney and very highly recommend him. If he can get you into his schedule, jump at the chance!
I would highly recommend Jim Peterson. He was great! He was very supportive and empathetic during one of the most stressful times of my life. He always promptly returned my calls even though I know he had several other cases at the time. His experience and professionalism made all the difference in helping me obtain a more than adequate settlement. I am extremely grateful to have had him as my attorney.
