An Incompetent Imposter I wish I could give a ZERO
He claimed I had a case - and I did - but not through his law firm. He does not have professional staff to guide either him or his clients. It is somewhat like having a General Contractor who doesn't have sub-contractors and wants you to find them. After awhile, you'll be asking what he is doing for you. He mishandled my alimony from the beginning (I found out later) and then butchered the modification. Eventually I had to get other attorneys who knew the law, knew what to do, and who had staff and/or referrals for the documents needed. He consistently did not return calls, was late for appointments (one time I ended up having lunch upstairs, waiting while he took what the reception said was a walk-in), and he was easily bullied by opposing counsel to the point he thought we did not have a case. Most unprofessionally, he charged me a flat fee for his work (which he botched so it wasn't worth even that) and once I paid then he refused to give me an invoice or receipt. A case that should have taken a few months went on for more than a year, until I went to another attorney.

Always knows the best legal approach for you
Peter has been both my corporate and personal attorney for 30 years. He has always been able to analyze and determine what the best legal approach would be for each individual case. You'll never get a canned response from Peter.

Peter Hobson - Highly Recommended Attorney
I have utilized and consulted with Peter multiple times over the last 25+ years and have found Peter to have consistently gone above and beyond his job to satsify his clients. I have found him reachable and available at any hour for his expert legal advice. He has the experience to thoroughly understand and explain one's options so as to alleviate one's concerns. I have found him up to date and knowledgable about the legal system/terms and his explanations to me are layman understandable. I have found him to be an intent listener. And, he takes action when required in support of your needs. He has consistently demonstrated his high ethical standards for which he built his reputation on. I highly recommend Peter should one be looking for an attorney and/or legal advisor. His excellent customer service will have nothing less than a positive lasting effect on what ever legal support and advise you need. I was fortunate to find Peter when I relocated to Florida over 25 years ago.

Peter Hobson. An excellent negotiator.
I have had the pleasure of being represented by Peter Hobson for many years. It always surprises me how expertly Peter handles very difficult cases. His ability to observe the situation and immediately suggest an acceptable solution is a true talent of his. I am always impressed. Many cases never had to get "messy" with extended litigation because Peter was able to negotiate a settlement acceptable to all parties. It is no accident nationwide newscasts have Peter as a spokesperson to quickly explain complex issues and suggest a cure.

Most well respected!
Peter has been handling my cases for close to 30 years now. I have Always had a great and positive outcome each time. It is so encouraging to be walking through the court house with him and by the reaction of and conversations with other attorneys and judges that pass by, to see and feel the absolute respect they all have for him. You could never go wrong in having him on your side.

don't make the same mistake I did
Mr. Hobson came recommended but has turned out to be detrimental to my case. He repeatedly lied to me and delayed my case multiple times. He would promise to have everything needed for the upcoming court date then when in front of judge would not do anything and would tell the judge we would have everything at the next hearing. When I retained him I had already filed everything on my own except for two documents. I only needed a few questions answered and help completing the last two documents which he failed to do. In the end my exes attorney completed the paperwork because every time he said he would do something by a certain date it was never done. Once he admitted to me over the phone that he knew a mistake was his fault. He agreed to lower my bill and then changed his story. I fired him and he still was communicating with the other attorney on my behalf. He was retained in February of 2015 and my case was just recently resolved. With as much as was already done my case should have been resolved within 1-3 months not 8 months. Stay away from this attorney. I have never worked with such an incompetent individual.

One of the Best!
Peter is an amazing attorney, a true professional. He did an excellent job during my mediations and hearings. Also, Peter was always just a phone call or email away, including weeknights and weekends, if ever I had any questions regarding my case. He was always on time and prepared at our hearings and made sure I understood everything. When needed, he steered me away from pursuing trivial issues based on emotions, and I appreciated his candor and common sense. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone searching for a practical and knowledgeable attorney. I can't thank Peter enough for all of his assistance and advice in my cases and life in general.

If you don't have money to throw away..
This guy is lacking ethics, he didn't even know when I went in to speak with him that we had missed my hearing, it was Thursday when I met with him and my hearing was on Monday, he called my opponents attorney to discuss something come to find out we missed the HEARING!! Now I am spending more money on a different attorney to fix his screw up.
