San Francisco area attorney Peter H. has a general civil practice devoted to assisting consumers contemplating bankruptcy and other civil matters. Peter signed onto LegalMatch in 2003 and immediately saw a spike in his caseload. “LegalMatch is essentially my major source of business,” says Peter. “The service has definitely improved both the quantity and quality of my cases, and has allowed me to focus on hourly work instead of flat fee and contingency cases. I’m as busy as I can be…it’s getting to the point where I’m thinking of adding a part-time paralegal to keep up with the steady influx of cases.” For Peter, it’s also the way in which he is busy that makes him such a vocal supporter of LegalMatch. “LegalMatch has really helped me to focus my practice. As I get more cases I enjoy working on like bankruptcy and real estate litigation, I can drop areas like consumer debt collection and personal injury. As a result, I feel like I have more control over the kinds of cases I can afford to take.”
A graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, Peter has been practicing in California for nearly 20 years and has conducted well over 50 trials, representing debtors and creditors in hundreds of bankruptcy cases. He also works on a range of housing disputes, evictions, business litigation, and other non-criminal cases.
