Peter Stone helped me create my living trust all the way back in 2009. Since then, much has changed and I had to amend my living trust, as well as seek advice on llc's. I reached out to Peter, and was so impressed by his responsiveness. I received a call back within an hour. In a world of AI, this is a big deal to me, because there's nothing better than talking to a professional that listens and advises to my specific needs. I'm happy to see that Peter has such a willingness to take care of his clients no matter how long it's been since the last service. read more

No response via phone and no response via email (which they suggest when you call and get the answering message).

Peter has helped me and my spouse with Traffic tickets on a few occasions now. Each time, the experience has been excellent. Everything is handled very transparently and honestly. On a recent occasion, Peter went out of his way to provide guidance on a parking ticket matter, even though he wasn't handling the case. It was very kind of him. In the future, I'll continue to work with Peter when the need arises. I'll also make sure to refer him to friends and colleagues. read more

Peter helped me on my recent traffic tickets and I don't need to go to the court myself. He always keeps me in the loop and share the latest updates with me. Their team is great and highly professional. I'd recommend Peter and his team to all my friends if they have traffic ticket issues in the future. Highly recommended! read more

I have sent 3-4 queries over phone and email. The phone message says that send an email for faster response. After 2 voice messages, 2 emails and 3+ weeks of waiting, time to give up on them. read more

BEWARE This attorney has a call center based in the Philippines. I have confirmed with the phone operator that all the SENSITIVE information you provide on the trust application is sent and processed in a foreign country. Nothing against anyone I just don't feel safe sending that level of confidential information that should be attorney client privileged to a foreign country. read more

Peter has helped me with a wide range of legal services from car accident ( other party was at fault) to setting up a Will and Trust. I believe he can also help with Health Insurance. He's very responsive and excellent t at building a case. I felt confident in his expertise and experience and we won our case! Very grateful for finding him! read more

Peter has helped me, my friends, and my family numerous times and I don't know where I would be without him! He and his staff are always very quick to get back to me and and very pleasant to speak with. They definitely understand my issues and always know the best way to help me out. Everyone that I have referred to him has had the same great experiences and now people are asking me for referrals for everything since this one was such a home run! Thanks again Peter, you're the best!! read more

I received a speeding ticket for driving over the posted speed limit in front of a senior citizen center in the fall of 2019. I felt aggrieved at the ticket for whatever reasons and decided to contest. Found Peter Stone from my work's legal plan. The trial was supposed to be in April 2020 which was postponed due to covid lockdown. It was moved multiple times and finally scheduled for April 2022, 2 yrs since the supposed first trial and 2.5yrs since the ticket was issued. Despite the dates being moved so many times and so far in the future, Peter was very responsive and always kept me updated. And when the trial did happen, the speeding ticket was dismissed because the officer didn't turn up for the hearing. The dismissal of the ticket is secondary, i guess any attorney would have the same result if the officer didn't turn up. I was impressed with his responsiveness and follow up despite so many delays due to covid. read more

Great experience working Peter Stone through my MetLife Hyatt Legal plan. He was able to get my speeding ticket dismissed. It was great to not have to go to court myself. Would definitely return to Peter for future legal issues (though hopefully I won't need to)! read more

Peter was recommend through my company's plan as a great lawyer (I have had some bad experiences in the past so I requested them to connect me with someone who has good reviews). I have needed his help on two separate occasions (both regarding real estate) and he has been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The best part about him is that he responds VERY VERY quickly (both early in the morning and late at night). He always calls me back within a couple hours. The quick response time was key especially when I had live deals where I had to make decisions very quickly and under strict time constraint. He is very friendly and I never felt like he was impatient or got annoyed at my many many questions (when some lawyers have in the past). Very highly recommended! read more

Excellent lawyer that has represented me in several unfair traffic citations. He handles all the work and requires very little interaction from me. He is very proactive with communication and had been 100% successful in defending my numerous citations the last 2-3 years. read more

TL;DR: Unprofessional and slow. I signed up for Peter's law services about a year ago expecting to have an easier time managing a disputed debt, but I really wish I had just done it all myself. One of his lawyers, Elizabeth, took 4-6 business days to reply to any given email, and due to her slow response time we ended up passing the deadline to negotiate. The disputed debt was reported to credit agencies, and my partner and I got a huge hit to our credit scores. This was easily avoidable, and while not worth a malpractice suit, was incredibly unprofessional and incompetent. After I called Peter to discuss this, he apologized and offered us an Amazon gift card. It didn't cover our legal expenses, much less the time we wasted and the consequences of our lowered credit scores. I don't recommend working with this law firm. read more

I found Peter Stone thru Hyatt Legal. He was the 3rd attorney I tried and I finally found a winner. He is EXTREMELY responsive & timely. He has good ideas and he is also able to tell me when he is not right for the job. I don't have that many legal concerns, but being able to call on an attorney for advice (since it's fully covered by my plan) gives me peace of mind. I read the other review and wonder if we're talking about the same person. The Peter Stone I've worked with several times over the last two years is fantastic! Also, I have talked with the people at Hyatt and they told me they refer to him and they've never heard a complaint. People may not always compliment, but they'll complain if there's a problem. Lastly, in one instance, I was able to pay for the legal service for 3 years. Big Corporation vs. little me and we WON. I am NOT litigious, but neither am I a doormat. Peter helped me and I'm a grateful and regular client. read more

Traffic Violation result Dismissed! I was connected with Peter Stone through my MetLife Hyatt Legal plan. I reached out to him with a traffic violation that I was hoping to get reduced or maybe just driving school. I spoke with him on the phone and he was extremely helpful in providing a timeline and the expected result. He exceeded my expectations and now I don't have to pay a fine or go to driving school! read more

They are completely unreliable. They are basically a call center somewhere, which leads to a voice mail, which leads to nothing. They are truly horrible. I hired them to do a trust. After taking money, and creating an initial draft, they stopped interacting at all with us. What a waste of time. read more

Peter's team helped me with a traffic ticket. The team was, very responsive, to my questions (usually responding within minutes) and It was a pleasure working with them. read more

Was referred to Peter by our company's legal plan program. Had to leave three messages across a few days until he finally got back to me. He discussed the process over the phone with me for 30 mins, and then never followed up with emailing me the materials, etc. Read the other reviews also, you'll see this is a recurring theme. And if you think "it's okay as long as I can get him" - you're WRONG. My opinion is that an attorney that doesn't have time for new clients, probably doesn't invest enough time in existing ones. read more

I got a traffic ticket in Santa Clara county. Being an out of state ticket, I contacted Peter Stone and he took my case and fought it on my behalf and helped me convert the ticket into no point ticket. I never had to go to court especially when I'm based on East Coast. He is highly experienced professional and knows all about his domain. It was pleasure working with him. I recommend him if you need a lawyer around Bay Area. read more

All I have to say is WOW! Peter and his services are amazing! I have been going to Peter for a few years now for all my traffic tickets. He has been very professional and prompt. Once I sent him all the documents, I didn't have to worry about anything. He provided me with all the updates and has gotten all my tickets dismissed. Peter has fought fight tickets for me when other attorney would not accept the case. Last year he fought a ticket for me in EastBay Livermore and got it dismissed. This year he has once again out did himself and got 2 tickets dismissed including a RED LIGHT CAMERA ticket!!! Thank you Peter for saving me hundreds of dollars. read more

Peter Stone is an experienced lawyer I've worked with many times. Definitely knows his area of law and how to get things done for you. Gladly recommend. read more

I became connected with Peter Stone through the Hyatt Legal plan provided to me at my workplace years ago. He has helped me with several issues including setting up a Trust. Each time I call or email him I am astounded at the speed at which he responds and each time it has been Peter himself. He is extremely knowledgeable, listens to your concerns, and immediately helps you to navigate your solution. I have had to use another law firm to handle a family trust resolution and the difference in response and actual results has been awful when compared to the ease of communication and quickness I had experienced with Peter. He deserves ten stars for all the great service he has given me and I highly, highly recommend him. Can't thank him enough for his time, attention and help. read more

I just want to thank Attorney Peter Stone, Elizabeth Ripperda and the staff, for helping me settle an accident claim. I appreciate all the work that was done. They kept me in the loop of what was going on, and answered my questions and concerns in a timely manner. I really didn't have to do much. They did all the hard work for me and I'm so satisfied with the outcome. I definitely would recommend them to my family and friends! Thanks again. Marisol Smith read more

Zero professionalism. We reached out to get him to review some contracts for us for an apartment that we were buying. I admit that this was a last minute request, but we just wanted to see if he had the time to help us review standard disclosure packages. I spoke to his assistant and told her what we needed and gave her the case numbers and the Legal plan we were on. She emailed us and told us to email her the documents and that Peter would call us to discuss. We got an email from Peter asking us what we needed. Asked us for all the information that we had already given to his assistant - whom he clearly does not speak to and is just a wasting everyone's time (especially time that we did not have). We ignored his email requesting for us to resend the information as we didn't feel comfortable working with someone this unprofessional. He sends us an email the next day and says that he reviewed and there are no issues. No summary provided, no call to us - just one email saying that he reviewed and no issues. ARE YOU FOR REAL? I know he is going to bill us for spending probably 5 minutes skimming through the documents. We asked for a write-up or a call summarizing his findings and of course nothing. Such a waste of time. Even reading his 1 sentence emails were a waste. read more

Peter and his team helped me fight a traffic ticket. They were quick in responding and accurate in providing guidance. I am thankful for the help they provided and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help in the traffic help. read more

Peter is simply great! My traffic ticket was dismissed with no penalty at all. Thank you!

Stay Away! If I could give him 0 stars I would! I've never had to say that in a yelp review before. Found Peter Stone through my legal insurance to do a simple will. He would not write my will as I wanted- I had to request clauses I didn't agree with to be removed x3, these clauses included my husband & agreeing to medical decisions at the end of our lives that we were not comfortable with (removal of life support etc). After the third request he said he would not be responsible if my will was not valid due to the parts I want removed. I'm sorry but that's your job- to make sure I'm protected, that's why I hired a lawyer instead of googling forms for a will on the internet and signing a form document. BTW the will he had for us was a giant prefabricated form he was unwilling to alter. Easy money for him but soooo bad for the client. Should I also mention he misspelled my husband's name throughout the document (Benjamin is not spelled Benjamim) this indicated to me that they simply used a find and replace to change the name (inaccurately through the entire document). He also insisted we need to change our bank accounts to to be named "the ____family trust" . If you want a lawyer who care about you and not just the money he will receive from working with you don't hire this guy. read more

I found Peter through my employer's hyatt legal plan. Peter is professional and easy to work with. He always provides pros and cons with all things considered, followed by a suggestion. He is good at what he does. Very importantly, he responses quickly. We consult him with all kinds of legal matters and we are pleased with his excellent advice and services. We are currently following his strategy on a traffic matter, and it is working well. read more

Peter Stone is a tireless advocate for justice. He represents all of his clients with tenacity and professionalism. He will not rest until justice has been served. I highly recommend this fine lawyer to anyone who has been injured by the negligence of another. read more

I found this lawyer based on the list that my company provided me as the in-network lawyers they have contract with. I found the Yelp reviews pretty positive, and decided to consult with him about preparing our child's guardianship as well as the will and trust documents. The case was pretty simple including putting the names of a few friends (since we don't have any family in the US.) in our will as the potential guardians for our child that if something happened to both my spouse and me, they can handle the court issues and take our child to our families back in our home country. However, this lawyer said that he won't put that on want my child to be back to my family in my country as he might prefer to live in the US . I told him that if my child grew up and decided to live in the US. and there was a good family to take care of him, it'd be fine, but we don't have anyone here and he'd have to go to a foster care; so I need to have that in my will. And in his response, he literally said that children would prefer to stay in the streets of the US. rather than coming back to a country like my country, and therefore, he won't put that on my will. I still feel disgusted by such a racist comment. read more

Peter is a caring lawyer. You don't see that too often. He genuinely has empathy for his clients.

Hi, I contacted Peter through my employer's legal plan Metlife (also known as Hyatt). Peter established the framework for a living trust and last will for me and my wife and he was very responsive to my emails and even paid me a visit to finish off the paperwork! I'm very happy with his work and look forward to working with him sometime in the future. By the way, if your employer offers a legal plan, join it - it's a good deal and will save you tons. read more
