I have to say that Peter is also an unusual attorney in that he is compassionate and has a sense of what is just and appropriate; he will be honest and forthright with his client, but will absolutely fight to right a perceived injustice. I can't say enough great things about this attorney.
Karen
With Peter’s guidance, we were able to navigate through a very stressful situation. Throughout the process, Peter was always available for questions and prompt with the right answers. At no time did we feel alone in this process. His compassion and experience were invaluable, and we were able to right a terrible wrong. I would highly recommend attorney Peter Bochnewich for your legal needs.”
Teri B.
Throughout a long and sometimes difficult legal battle, my sister and I were constantly impressed by the depth of Mr. Bochnewich’s understanding of the law, his energy in applying it, and his intelligent and effective presence in court. We were also deeply appreciative of his warmth toward us and the deeply ethical behavior he exhibited both in and out of court. In the end, Mr. Bochnewich’s skills were responsible for removing the executor from the estate, and in our receiving a seven-figure judgment. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter Bochnewich to anyone seeking highly skilled legal assistance with estate and inheritance issues.”
