I hired Mr. Peter Ventrice as my third attorney in my divorce case. One of my good friends recommended Peter to me since she had a positive experience with Peter as his client. Peter is highly professional and an experienced attorney. My case then turned into complicated mess and was being dragged for years, I have already changed two advocates. I was losing hope without a clear path to closure. Peter got on my case as my third advocate handled my case with great professionalism. He was highly detail oriented skillfully pointed out important facts critical to my case all in my favor. I was confident and hopeful after hiring Peter Ventrice. He makes his clients opinions heard and always makes them a priority in the case. Peter closed my case gracefully in a short span of time. I am extremely happy that I chose Peter as my advocate. I highly recommend Mr. Peter Ventrice to everyone looking for an experienced and a professional attorney.
