Howdy...  Just want to say Peter is GREAT !!He helped me get a Pardon from The Governor.  I tried on my own & botched it badly. Peter was referred to me.. He was great & went above & beyond.. helped with every aspect.  The court & the Gov's office threw some curve balls at us & he knocked them out of the park so to speak.  I highly recommend him.Got my certificate from the Gov's office last Friday :-) P.S. this was for a Felony in my youth.. ( Would have been a lot easier but i got in some different trouble another time also..so we kinda had 2 cases to go through. )  Thanks again Peter, you Rock !!Norm

Peter recently helped my family and I out with a case that he promptly got dismissed.  I had a fantastic experience working with him.  A few notes:-Peter was very thorough and professional.  He listened attentively, asked very detailed questions about our situation, and discussed a variety of solutions in a very forthright manner.  He demonstrated a very great knowledge of the law and a ton of experience. -Peter was very responsive.  Most e-mails were answered within a few minutes or at most, a few hours. He also send me copies of documents on the weekend when I requested them.  Throughout the time we worked together, I always felt like he had a thorough knowledge of our case and that he was treating it as if it was his own.-Our meetings were very efficient.  When meeting, the items on the agenda were very clear and I felt like our time together was used very effectively.  It was a pleasure to always have such productive and concise meetings.Ultimately, my family always felt like we were in good hands with Peter and would give him the highest recommendation.

I needed a Criminal Defense Lawyer to represent my son who was facing more a 24 plus year prison term for allegedly driving while impaired in a vehicular accident in which a pedestrian was killed. As a legal secretary of 30 years I spoke to numerous attorneys in my office about my son's case trying to figure out what his chances might be as my office handles some criminal cases but only those on the corporate side and not the personal side. In looking at the allegations against my son, our lawyers told me my son did not stand much of a chance to serve less than the 30 year plea bargain the District Attorney was offering. By chance we had the opportunity to have Peter represent my son. Not only does Peter have years of experience under his belt, he is certified by the licensing and regulatory agency for all California attorneys, the State Bar of California, as a specialist in criminal law. Peter is well known in legal circles but even more so, is well respected across the board. He has been named a "Super Lawyer" every year since 2007 by Law and Politics and San Francisco Magazines which is a prestigious designation and only awarded to a handful of the 289,000 attorney in the State California and he has routinely been the Chairman, Director of the Board or Board member of various organizations such as the Client Relations Committee of the San Mateo Bar Association, Santa Clara County Bar Association and the Palo Alto Bar Association. I liked what I read in another Yelp review about him as we found the same to be true of him; he's honest, forthright and direct. He keeps those District Attorneys on their toes. He wears the cloak of looking and acting like professor...but underneath that cloak he is full on Pit Bull! We knew at the beginning that my son would be found guilty of the accident but through Peter's fierce representation and determination, doggedness in pursuing every lead and every detail, investigating every nuance, bringing incredible experts to the witness stand and his amazing cross examination of every person on the stand my son will only serve less than half the time the court wanted to inflict. In the old days you had one doctor or one lawyer to represent not only you but your whole family throughout your lifetime regardless of the variety of medical or legal issues faced. Fast forward to 2015 and that is not the way it works these days. The law has gone the way of medicine, in that both fields have become very specialized due to the ever increasing changes in technology, in the laws, regulation of the industries, the expansion in services and the continuing educational background and requirements required to not only become certified and licensed but to keep those licenses renewed. Just like you would not hire a plumber to fix an electrical problem in your home even though both are considered "contractors" when it comes to lawyers, there are many types of lawyers but you must be sure to select the right type of attorney to handle your specific type of case. Peter Goldscheider is the cream of the crop if you can get him.
