The Peterson Law Firm, PA

Litigation can be a long, expensive, and complicated process that should never be entered into lightly.
That is why my goal is not just to provide you with excellent civil litigation service, but also to provide you with an honest assessment of your case, as well as the possible outcomes, and your alternatives for resolution.
If you have been sued, or if you think you may need to sue someone else, schedule a consultation with me.
I would be honored to review your case and stand by your side through the legal process.

Appeals occur when one party to a lawsuit is dissatisfied with the outcome at trial and seeks for a higher court to change that outcome.
Futher, the appellate court is a forum where decisions are made largely based upon the written legal arguments submitted by the parties.
Thus, I believe that it is important for the attorney you choose to have strong legal research and writing abilities.
I would be proud to discuss my credentials with you and to talk about how I may help you in your appellate case.

Estate planning is an essential part of determining how your financial matters will be handled in the event of death or incapacity.
Sound estate planning can be complicated and should always be done in conjunction with your legal, financial, tax and insurance professionals.
The Peterson Law Firm can help you determine what estate planning tools are right for you.

Lawsuits can be long, expensive and stressful, and the outcome is almost always uncertain.
But there are alternatives to litigation.
Mediation is an alternative to litigation where the parties meet with a neutral third-party called a "mediator", and discuss ways to settle their differences without litigation.
Mediation takes place in a confidential setting outside of the courtroom and participation is voluntary.
Thus, it gives the parties the power, and the opportunity, to resolve their dispute on their own terms - not on the terms decided by a judge or a jury.

Garnishment is a common tool used by judgment creditors to collect the money that is owed.
But Florida law provides exemptions to a creditor's ability to garnish.
Garnishments can be used to freeze bank accounts and to force employers to withhold money from paychecks.
Yet, Florida Law provides exceptions to a creditor's ability to garnish either wages or bank accounts, and they are particular to the facts of each case.
The Peterson Law Firm, PA. has experience in prosecuting and defending garnishments in both the personal and corporate setting.
