Christopher G. Peterson

A knowledgeable and effective advocate for our business

Our company recently faced a complex wage and hour compliance audit from the Colorado Department of Labor. The situation was stressful, and we needed counsel who understood both the letter of the law and the practical realities of running a business. Christopher Peterson at Fisher Phillips was recommended to us, and his guidance proved invaluable. His recognition in Employment Law - Management by Best Lawyers was immediately evident in his strategic approach. He meticulously reviewed our policies and payroll records, identified potential vulnerabilities, and crafted a clear, proactive response strategy for dealing with the auditors. His eight years of focused experience in Denver meant he was acutely aware of state-specific nuances, which was a huge advantage. The entire process was handled with a calm, professional demeanor that put our leadership team at ease. The outcome was favorable, with minimal disruption to our operations. If I had to note one area for improvement, it would be that initial email responses during the busiest periods could occasionally take a full business day, though phone calls were always returned promptly. Overall, Christopher is a sharp, reliable attorney we will certainly engage again for future employment matters.
