Verified ClientHired Law firm 2026im Peterson is an exceptional attorney. I recently concluded a very challenging divorce that was made significantly more difficult by a high-conflict spouse and opposing counsel. Jim’s expertise in navigating high-friction litigation was evident from day one. He is focused, highly prepared, and incredibly effective at cutting through the noise to get results. He turned a nightmare situation into a manageable process. Five stars for his professionalism and dedication.

Verified ClientHired Attorney Jim Peterson 2014I have referred more than 20 domestic law cases to Jim and every client has been extremely happy with his services. He is knowledgeable, can try a case if he needs to, is respected by other lawyers in the domestic law area, and resolves cases for a reasonable cost and without unnecessary expense. I highly recommend him.

Verified ClientHired Attorney Jim Peterson 2013Jim represented me on two different occasions and on both occasions, I came out better than I had hoped for. He ran circles around the opposing lawyers and gave me a sense of comfort and confidence throughout the process. Jim is very smart and attentive to his client's needs. From the beginning he gave me the feeling that I would win and we did. I fully recommend Jim Peterson.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
