"There are law firms, many of them to choose from. But there are few law firms that do not make you feel like just another case. Going through a divorce is messy. Going through a divorce with a child can be even messier. Thank goodness for Mike Peterson who makes the hardest times a little bit more digestible. He is direct, brings the facts, educates you, and does not encourage you to make moves just to make a dollar - refreshing when you just want the best path forward for all involved. He wants your next steps to be the right ones. I also cannot discount Brandie, his paralegal. I have cried reading her words of encouragement when I just needed to feel validated, and always responsive. A dynamic duo they are and while I do not wish divorce on or for anyone, if you are going through a challenging time, trust them. I am so glad they are on my team."

"We have a years-long complicated custody case that has now spanned the globe. Mike was the voice of expertise and reason that I needed. Very responsive. Reasonable and straight forward counseling, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I know my fights not over but he helped us accomplish permanency, which was so necessary for things to start to settled down. Thank you Michael and team."

"After wasting so much time and money on two previous attorneys who only made mistakes and dragged things out, I finally found the Law Office of Arnold & Peterson. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Michael Peterson resolved my child support issue quickly and professionally. He was efficient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about getting things done right. My only regret is not hiring him sooner."

"Arnold was very rude and unprofessional. He kept trying to get out of our scheduled meeting by insisting that his services were too expensive for me, even though I never made any comment about cost. He did not read any of the information I provided to him and was overtly disrespectful for no apparent reason."
