Law Offices of Peter L Balogh

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS GUY!!! Mr. Balogh was absolutely rude and unprofessional. When I was referred to him by Legal Aid, I expected a 30 minute consultation with a lawyer. What I got was an impatient, arrogant, and obnoxious person who was 10 minutes late, continuously told me to hurry up, and was not knowledgeable on the law. When I brought up a specific law, he said,“I don’t know what the law says exactly but…” I said, «Don’t worry, I have the law printed out right here.» He stops and looks at me. «Are you done? You don’t need to quote the law to me. I’ve been doing this for 20 years!» I got up and left 15 minutes early. Save your time and money. Go with anyone else but Balogh.

They took care of what I needed. That’s about it. Took a lot longer than what I have experienced in the past which of course resulted in me paying more, which they wanted before they would proceed. I mainly worked with a new associate, not Balogh, which was fine by me. Court day went quite well.

Peter represented me in the first part of my divorce process. Having gone through the second part with another lawyer, I miss being represented by Peter.
First — why did i switch? A conflict of interest due to the fact that both my ex and I had been friends with Peter prior. Now, why do I miss Peter? Peter knows the law and knows the San Francisco court system. This is essential in family legal matters.
Peter was always thorough and responsive to my questions. He also knew how to tread the shifts in dialogue that inevitably happen between a person going through divorce and her attorney. That is, when the conversation got emotional Peter knew how to handle that, but at the same time knew how to get back to the practical.
Peter charges a very reasonable rate for his excellent services.
