Peter Hurwitz has been my attorney for the last six years and through all that time he has always been there for me. He has handled two important closings for me, one during the COVID pandemic as well as my will. I value his advice and trustworthiness. His staff are a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend him as an attorney.
