When I was going through bankruptcy I was very nervous and the process was scary. Mr. Peterson helped me the whole way including the appearance in court. Whenever I had any questions, I simply emailed him or called him and he promptly answered my questions. Mr. Peterson went above and beyond to help me with a SBA loan I had and dealt with their lawyers on my behalf. I would recommend Mr. Stuart Peterson and his law firm to everyone.
