Philip M. June 26, 2020
Incisive and efficient... Peter Lubin represented me in commission dispute involving a sizable chunk of money that my employer was trying to avoid paying. After my former lawyer had mishandled the case, Peter took over with a combination of creativity and a tough negotiation strategy he helped turn the case around and we obtained settlement. He spent a lot of uncompensated time helping to come up with the successful strategy. I highly recommend Peter and his firm.

Peter Lubin is a brilliant attorney who really cares about his client. If you want a lawyer to represent you that is intellectually talented handling almost any facet of litigation from large complex class action suits to personal individual consumer fraud or employment cases, Peter is the right attorney. Peter really cares about his clients and he puts his heart and soul into providing his clients outstanding services. Most important, he will not treat you like a meal ticket charging you every time you call him, or he calls you. When I was seeking to hire someone to represent me, I researched about 20 attorneys and reviewed the resumes and the cases they tried before I made my decision. Peter Lubin’s credentials and experience really stood out compared to his peers. He provides a very unique legal boutique with the sophistication and breadth of experience commensurate with large law firms. He really cares about his clients and decision making is guided on what is best for the client. Peter would call me almost every week to see how I was doing and give me an update on my case. It was a horrible time in my life and Peter really helped support me and he never charged me for these calls. He is very astute and genuinely cares about his clients. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and impressed with the legal services I received. I would highly recommend him.
