5 /5 Laurie Gardner: 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.
