WHO WE ARE

Originally established in 1940, as Brink & Moore, LLP, our firm has been built on a solid reputation of integrity, honesty, and transparency. Over time, our dedication to serving our clients at the highest level, yet in an efficient manner that protects their financial well-being, has led to deep client trust and long-lasting relationships.

In 1973, attorney John D. Peterson joined the firm. His emphasis on family law arose in the 1980s when the technology boom created a need for attorneys who understood asset division for high-income employees and executives. This specialized legal counsel remains at the heart of our practice.

Today, the firm is led by John’s son, Doug Peterson and Lauren Walchli, experienced attorneys who are equally dedicated to assisting people with their personal and financial matters through personalized and cost-effective legal counsel and representation.
