By the time I retained Mr. Williams the case had already gone to trial, and I thought I had lost. He was successful at having the fees reduced by approximately $180,000!
I contacted Peter Williams the week discovery was due and three weeks before the trial. Within days he negotiated an agreement to participate in a settlement conference and to vacate the current dates for discovery and trial. Highly recommend this attorney if you are going anywhere near a courtroom.
I spoke with Peter Williams and he was very helpful in his guidance and advice. His consultation was nearly 30 minutes and was gracious, understanding, and empathetic. Good listener, gave me time to explain my entire situation before he commented. Great guy, I would recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who has experience and still cares about practicing law and justice vs. strictly making money.
Conservatorship is a legal arrangement designed to protect and assist individuals who are unable to manage their personal and financial affairs. In Arizona, the process of establishing a conservatorship follows specific laws and guidelines.
To establish a conservatorship in Arizona, the interested party (usually a family member or concerned individual) must file a petition with the local probate court. It is recommended to seek the assistance of an attorney who specializes in conservatorship matters to ensure a smooth and legally compliant process.
The court will review the petition and evaluate the ward's capacity to make decisions independently. Medical evaluations and assessments may be conducted to determine the need for conservatorship. The court will also consider input from interested parties and the proposed conservator.
Conservatorships are established to protect and assist individuals who are unable to manage their personal and financial affairs. However, disputes can sometimes arise within the context of a conservatorship, leading to disagreements among interested parties.
