After a family member was seriously injured by a defective medical device, we were overwhelmed. Craig Peters and his team at Altair Law provided the expertise and steady guidance we desperately needed. With nearly three decades of experience, particularly in complex product liability and catastrophic injury cases, his deep knowledge was evident from our first meeting. He patiently explained the legal intricacies of our case, which involved significant medical complications, and his track record of recognition in this specific field gave us immense confidence. The entire process was handled with professionalism and genuine care. While communication from his support staff could occasionally experience brief delays during very busy periods, Mr. Peters himself was always thoroughly prepared and strategic. We felt represented by a true specialist who fights tirelessly for his clients.
