Mr. Depew is true professional. The first time I spoke to him about my situation, I knew exactly what to expect(both upside and downside) which gave me that little piece of mind to let me focus on the events in my life, such as work, family, etc. He is a clear communicator, does what he says he will do and responsive to my questions. I do not write reviews nor do I make recommendations to others, but I am making an exception here. If anyone has a legal issue in SLO county, the first call I would make would be to Peter Depew.

Offered some valuable consultation. Knew what he was talking about, and walked me through the best solution while identifying other options.

Increíble servicio brindado por Peter Depew desde un principio me dio mucha confianza y tranquilidad es un gran profesional que se ha preocupado y me ha dirigido paso a paso en mi proceso y me ha mantenido al tanto todo el tiempo. definitivamente recomiendo a Peter Depew tiene un servicio con una gran preparación al detalle y con excelente profesionalidad.

Peter Depew is an amazing lawyer. More importantly, he is a genuine, caring, down to earth, honest man. Prior to hiring Peter, I spoke with a few other lawyers in town, since there was only a handful who handled Pardon requests. However, after initial contact with Peter over the phone, I immediately knew he was the lawyer I wanted and needed to help me with my legal burden. He was both professional and empathetic during the course of our consultation. Immediately after hanging up with me, he went to the courthouse to review my case file. He then called me back within a half hour and walked me through the entire process, step by step. He was very well organized, knowledgeable, and passionate. He always returned my calls and texts promptly when I had questions or concerns. Through the whole two-year process, he kept me informed of any and all progress in my case, which gave me a sense of trust and relief. I was one of seven people to receive a pardon from Governor Newsom, and only the second person in San Luis Obispo to ever receive a full Governor’s Pardon. If you have legal concerns, trust me, you want Peter Depew on your side. My name is Laurie Gardner, and I highly recommend Peter Depew for all your legal needs.

Mr. Depew was very helpful and timely in appearing in court and negotiating a reduction in charges and getting dismissals. He keep us informed and charged a reasonable fee. 
This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mr. Depew was consistent and enthusiastic about answering all of my inquiries, he made sure that I understood everything I needed to know and he used his knowledge and experience to give me precise answers to my questions. I recommend contacting him to anyone in need of the help of a great law expert.

My son was in need of legal assistance and I had called a few other lawyers and after explaining the situation, they brushed me off. When I spoke with Peter he made us feel comfortable and that he would be able to help my son’s case. He is very professional and goes the extra mile for his clients. He responded quickly to my calls and texts. We were very pleased with the outcome of my son’s case as all charges were dismissed. We will definitely recommend Peter Depew to anyone who may need his services and if we ever need a lawyer again he will be the one we call.

Peter was fantastic to work with and had a great balance of being realistic and empathetic. Peter took on my case and was able to stop the DA from filing so It never even went to court. Peter was extremely communicative and was able to answer the hundreds of “what if” questions I had when navigating all the legal information. 
Peter was also transparent with me and helped ease my nerves when dealing with my case. I never thought I’d ever have to hire a lawyer to begin with but when life threw me a curveball, hiring Peter was the best decision I made.

Peter Depew was able to guide me through my expungement process very professionally and in a quick manner. It seemed like he was very familiar with the law and all penal codes associated with my case. He returned my e-mails promptly and gave great advice. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone.

Pete handled our son’s case in which three charges were reduced to just one. His communication skills, his negotiating skills with the DDA, his attention to detail (and the specifics of the case), his knowledge on how to navigate the court system and finally his recommendations throughout the process allowed Peter to exceed our expectations — all at a very reasonable and affordable price. Our family is truly grateful for his work and the ultimate outcome. Thanks Pete!

Peter Depew is an excellent attorney who goes above and beyond to ensure that his clients receive the best legal assistance possible. Peter’s office has extended hours so that you can reach him at any time. He answers all phone calls and emails promptly to alleviate any concerns his clients may have. He even provides his cell phone number so you can text him or call him whenever you have a question or need reassurance. Peter met with me the day I called, sent out an investigator to obtain witness statements, and prepared a mitigation package to present to the DA within 48 hours from our initial meeting. Peter was able to get my criminal case dismissed by the DA due to lack of evidence and, therefore, no charges were filed and my name and reputation were not tarnished. Peter also works with his clients to set up fair and reasonable payment options. I highly recommend Peter Depew as a criminal defense attorney who will achieve the best possible outcome for your needs.

I have previously worked with Peter and would recommend him to anyone seeking a criminal defense attorney. He is an enthusiastic advocate for his clients and goes above and beyond to get the best possible outcome. He also makes sure to keep clients well-informed along the way and to address any questions or concerns. Peter is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.

I have consulted with Peter on a number of cases and have found his insight to be thorough and valuable. He takes pride in his work and cares about his clients well being. Unfortunately, that has not always been my experience when dealing with legal professionals. If you need an attorney who will really be on your side and treat you like a human being and not just a client, I’d highly recommend you give him a call.

Peter Depew is a man you can trust. I had some questions I needed answering about a potential case, Peter doesn’t make you send all your info, email, address, job like the other guys. They might as well ask for my SSN and bank passwords! Instead, Peter just called me within a half hour and spoke to me like a human being. I will be calling Peter again with any questions regarding my rights.

I am very grateful with the level of commitment and determination of Peter Depew. I had to get an Attorney and after making several calls, I got the sense he truly cared. He went over everything in detail, and even answered after hours calls. My case was handled in a manner sooner than I anticipated. I highly recommend Peter If your looking for a Top-Level Attorney.

I have found during my life that opinions are a dime a dozen and that most shouldn’t be expressed whatsoever!
However, I feel it is my duty and my honor to thank you for taking my case.
There are moments in ones life that are challenging, frightening, and belittling. That statement can and should be used in a manner of situations. No one is immune and the circumstances that make these words true are many.

It is with great affection and respect that I say “Thank you” for a job greatly done and one with consideration of me as an individual.
I am inspired by your work ethic and the gentleman that you are,

This man is a grateful, faithful man that I hold in high esteem. After all the calls and postscripts coming in the mail I chose Peter and am grateful beyond measure.

Blessings,
Kelly

I highly recommend peter, my son had 2 felonys and a baby on the way and he got him out for the birth. Also a great price. We were losing hope on him coming home and he made it happen

I had a charge for a domestic violence from a women claiming to be my girlfriend and made false accusations to the police that ultimately ended with me in jail. I contacted a few attorneys and none of them stood out the way Mr. Depew did. When I told him my story, he seemed very intrigued by the situation and wanted to help. He said, “he wants to put his 2 cents in on this case” something I didn’t hear any of my attorneys say which told me that this man was passionate about getting me the right outcome. All in all, the case got dropped and I wasn’t charged with anything. I saw this guy has someone in my corner willing to go to battle for me and he did. I hope to never have to go through dealing with the law again but if I did, I know exactly who to call.

I am Beyond thankful that Peter ended up being my attorney because he helped me tremendously if only he knew exactly how much you help now I am out thanks to him and I am able to get everything situated with my life that I needed a situated

Peter was awesome! I had prior criminal offenses and even though I was the victim of DV, I was arrested for being the abuser by my ex who used to be a police officer so I felt completely hopeless. He got me in for a consultation immediately. Paid attention to every detail and even though he did not make any promises of a positive outcome he still managed to put my mind at ease. Every time I called him he picked up and answered…

I related the charges, 647(F)PC, being leveled against my niece. Peter’s response was direct and assuring. His familiarity with cases of this nature and the jurisdiction where the arrest took place was exacting! His knowledge of the interaction between the police and the community they serve is truly insightful.

If you are looking for a darn good attorney, I suggest you contact Mr. Depew. I am not local not needed some help for my sister. I hired Mr. Depew. Mr. Depew went above and beyond to help settle the case, with a fair resolution. Mr. Depew could have settled the case with an “easy” solution, but he refused to do so, wanting the resolution to be fair in light of the circumstances. Hats off to Peter Depew for spending much more of his time on this case in the interest of his client not himself!! I believe Mr. Depew is an superior choice and appreciate all his efforts. Thanks again Peter!!

I contacted Mr. Depew rather frantic with questions and concerns regarding my situation and even over the phone he was of great help before we even met. I immediately felt a sense of relief and knew he’d be a great lawyer to have on my side. He was able to meet with me much quicker then I’d expected and was prepared just from the little I told him over the phone. The confidence he has in his line of work and knowledge he has gave me a great deal of hope in a very stressful time. He was realistic with what he could do with my case and delivered accordingly. He saved my nursing license and I am grateful. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a criminal defense lawyer.
