What Our Clients Are Saying
3 Words: HIRE. THIS. ATTORNEY. Do yourself a huge favor and get Rebecca before someone else does! Rebecca is an honest, awesome and tough attorney. My case was extremely complicated and Rebecca treated my case and me as a person with respect and professionalism. She knows exactly what she is doing and is a formidable force in the court room. She is extremely sharp and knows her stuff. She worked diligently for me and my family and I am so grateful to her for WINNING my case. Rebecca gets it done!!
Rebecca is the absolute best! She put real time and thought into helping me and was always available to speak when I needed her, and made me feel very comfortable through out the time we worked together! Would highly recommend!!
Mrs. Peters was very helpful in her consultation with me. She 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, she was 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 Rebecca Johnson Peters represent me during a very difficult custody battle. Mrs. Peters was very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and diligent throughout the entire process. I cannot thank her enough for her devotion to my custody case, and would highly recommend Mrs. Peters.
I reached out to Ms. Rebecca immediately after receiving a reckless driving ticket with 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 Ms. Rebecca, she called me and gave me a full run down of her game plan. I did zero work. Any time something needed to be done on my behalf, she 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 done by her (99% of it) she did. I spent nights worrying and watching YouTube videos of lawyers talking about what it means to get a RD ticket and how screwed I was; in hindsight fruitlessly. My RD charge was dropped, no community service, no courses, nothing required of me at all other than an $80 court fee(which Ms. Rebecca of course sent me exact instructions on where to go, how to pay, and by when to do it). She charged very little for her stellar services and I can not be more grateful. My insurance rate and driving record thank her. 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 Ms. Rebecca a call and let her take care of it.
Rebecca is professional, honest, and empathic. After I received my first speeding ticket, I was feeling nervous and overwhelmed. Having Rebecca as my lawyer was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. She was honest and empathetic with me throughout the legal process. If you want a lawyer that you can trust and that will care about you, I highly recommend hiring Rebecca Peters as your lawyer.
I was so impressed! Rebecca is a smart and incredibly competent defense attorney, determined to get the best result for her client. Her knowledge of the legal system, her value for “relationships”, and her creativity will undoubtedly serve you well if you choose her to represent you, just as it served me. Through her, I received a miracle of a deal, and I couldn’t speak more favorably about her performance. She was awesome!
"I was fortunate to work on my case with Mrs. Peters. During my first phone call with her, she heard about my situation and followed the whole scenario on how I got my reckless driving charge. She is a great communicator and laid out everything for my reckless driving speeding ticket. She wanted me to follow few steps prior to my court date, which included community service and a 12-hour driving program. Before my hearing, she let me know couple of times what the maximum punishment was that I could face and made sure I was ready for it beforehand. With these prior tasks and her defending me in court, I was able to get my reckless charge completely dismissed. I would definitely recommend hiring her if you got a reckless driving ticket in the Richmond area. Her work is beyond amazing!"
"I am pleased with everything my attorney did and I really appreciate the time and efforts she put toward my case. Thank you once again!"
