Law Office of Peter M Lively

Highly recommended! The attorneys are not only very knowledgeable and experienced but they are compassionate to their clients and responsive to their needs– something very difficult to find these days. Look no further– hire this firm and you will not be disappointed. Great staff, helpful from beginning to end. Thank you Peter, Ilya and David!

Pete has over 20 years experience in bankruptcy law, along with an impressive resume that includes teaching at UCLA Law School, teaching continued education to lawyers and various association memberships. He also has an MBA, in addition to his law degree.
But more importantly, he really cares about his clients. He and his team not only work hard, they are compassionate, good people. This is a guy who will do his very best to take care of you. Filing bankruptcy is never any fun, but if you have to go through it, go through it with Pete.

Peter and his staff are amazing. The entire office staff is so friendly and helpful. I personally refer everyone to them. Starting from your consultation you really feel that you’re in good hands. Professional establishment!!!

Peter has also handled multiple cases for some of my close colleagues over the past 5 years, so I can definitely speak to his abilities on their behalf as well. Unlike other attorneys who I’ve worked with, Peter is extremely genuine and trustworthy, and has a heart of gold. He is extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise, goes over and beyond to ensure that his clients are comfortable and equipped to make the right decisions based on his strategic advise and recommendations. Not only is he extremely intelligent and client service oriented, but he’s the most personable and charming person I’ve ever worked with from a client: professional perspective. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone. You get the best of both worlds working with him — the big firm background and expertise (not sure if you guys know but he got his JD/​MBA from one of the best programs in the nation and previously worked at a large firm), and the 1:1 attention and care from a small firm.

Hello, as a longtime colleague and friend of Peter’s I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Lively. He is at the top of his game in the world of bankruptcy attorneys. knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and well rounded. He has helped me in numerous ways and capacities over the years and I value his judgment and professionalism.
I consider Peter not only an esteemed colleague, but also a much admired friend.
