Why Peters Law Firm, PLLC
Most people who walk through our door are not who you might picture when you hear the word “accused.”
They are nurses. Teachers. Parents. Young people with their whole lives ahead of them. People who made one decision on a bad day after a situation that spiraled in ways they never expected.
A criminal charge does not just threaten jail time. It threatens your license to work, your ability to drive, your custody arrangement, and the entirety of your future.
A single charge can seep into your life in ways you’ll never see coming. Our job is to stop the damage and protect what matters most.
At Peters Law Firm, we pay attention to the full picture, and we have the relationships and resources to help clients address the root of what brought them here – not just the charge on the paper.
That is what protecting your freedom actually means.

What Our Clients Say
Peters Law Firm is the absolute best! They put real time and thought into helping me, were always available to speak when I needed them, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the time we worked together! Would highly recommend!!
Peters Law Firm was very helpful during my consultation. They laid out what kind of charges I could face and what the judge & prosecutor would be looking for, as well as what sort of volunteer groups I could join for preemptive community service. Unable to take my case, they were kind enough to refer me to another lawyer who could.
The attorneys at Peters Law Firm did an exceptional job in representing me in a civil case. The staff went above and beyond to represent me and my financial interests. While I have not used their services for any criminal matters, I can not imagine they would not work with the same professional diligence in that field of law. They have earned not only my gratitude but also my trust.
I had the pleasure of having Peters Law Firm represent me during a very difficult custody battle. The team was very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and diligent throughout the entire process. I cannot thank them enough for their devotion to my custody case, and would highly recommend Peters Law Firm.
I reached out to Peters Law Firm immediately after receiving a reckless driving ticket with a court summons. Needless to say, I was extremely worried. I was already stressed out from working and going to school simultaneously; a misdemeanor was the last thing I needed. Within 12 hours of emailing Peters Law Firm, someone from the team called me and gave me a full rundown of the game plan. I did zero work. Any time something needed to be done on my behalf, they emailed me what to do, how to do it, when to do it by, and, oh by the way, here’s the link. Everything else that could be handled by Peters Law Firm (99% of it) was taken care of. I spent nights worrying and watching YouTube videos of lawyers talking about what it means to get a reckless driving ticket and how screwed I was; in hindsight, fruitlessly. My reckless driving charge was dropped—no community service, no courses, nothing required of me at all other than an $80 court fee (which Peters Law Firm, of course, sent me exact instructions on where to go, how to pay, and by when). They charged very little for their stellar services, and I could not be more grateful. My insurance rate and driving record thank them. If you were driving too fast or too aggressively and got busted, there’s no reason to let it stress you out or take a dent out of your paycheck. Give Peters Law Firm a call and let them take care of it.
Peters Law Firm is professional, honest, and empathic. After I received my first speeding ticket, I was feeling nervous and overwhelmed. Having Peters Law Firm represent me was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. They were honest and empathetic with me throughout the legal process. If you want a law firm that you can trust and that will care about you, I highly recommend hiring Peters Law Firm.
I was so impressed! Peters Law Firm is incredibly competent and determined to get the best result for its clients. Their knowledge of the legal system, value for “relationships,” and creativity will undoubtedly serve you well if you choose Peters Law Firm to represent you, just as they served me. Through Peters Law Firm, I received a miracle of a deal, and I couldn’t speak more favorably about the representation I received. They were awesome!
"I was fortunate to work with Peters Law Firm on my case. During my first phone call, they listened to my situation and went through the whole scenario of how I received my reckless driving charge. They were great communicators and laid out everything regarding my reckless driving speeding ticket. They recommended a few steps for me to complete prior to my court date, which included community service and a 12-hour driving program. Before my hearing, they let me know a couple of times what the maximum punishment I could face was and made sure I was prepared beforehand. With these prior tasks and their representation in court, I was able to get my reckless charge completely dismissed. I would definitely recommend Peters Law Firm if you receive a reckless driving ticket in the Richmond area. Their work is beyond amazing!"
