Law Offices of Michele A. Peters, P.C.

Most often we choose when to contact an attorney, but sometimes we find ourselves in the position of needing an attorney fast.

How did I get in this predicament?

It is always to your benefit to initiate and begin the relationship at a time when clear thinking can take place.

For example, as attorneys we prefer to do pre-nuptial agreements rather than post-nuptial.   We also like to know our clients before we get the call - I've been arrested....

But often life is not as we plan and we are here to help.

Recent legal work has included the successful defense of a family owned business from a hostile take-over action; successful criminal defense; the successful defense of misappropriation of intellectual property rights for our entertainment clients; as well as estate planning for high net worth clients in New Jersey including special needs trusts.
