We originally chose the Telpner Peterson Law Firm because of their knowledge and history with our particular case. We were not disappointed. Their guidance and thorough preparation through the course of our case led to a favorable result for us. I appreciate their expertise!
My Experience with Walter Thomas was great! If I ever had any problems they were solved IMMEDIATELY, or if I had any questions or concerns he would call or email me in a very timely manner. I highly recommend Walter he is a “no beat around the bush” kind of guy, and I liked that the most about him. Hopefully I never need representation in the future, but if I do I’m calling Walt.
It was a pleasure using your law firm to help me settle my father’s estate. Although it was a difficult time, having both the compassion and expertise of your staff made the experience much easier. I would definitely recommend Telpner Peterson to all of my friends.
We are very grateful and happy to have retained Walter Thomas and his professional team to represent us in our time of need, through a very difficult process. A very thorough and understanding group of people. Thank you Walt and Peggy.
Over the past seven years I’ve dealt extensively with both Chuck Smith and Nicole Hughes at Telpner Peterson Law Firm, LLP. My needs were extremely complex involving litigation and filings at both the state and federal level. They have been timely, conscientious, thorough and fierce defenders of my rights. I believe they have helped me prevail on issues where other law firms would have failed. On top of that, they are a pleasure to work with.
When our family needed legal advice, we were very pleased with the service provided by Nicole and would recommend her company without reservation. They took the time to explain the process to us and kept us informed until our case was closed. We would recommend them-and have recommended them-to our family and friends.
