Sometimes people are just made up of the exact right blend of expertise, at the right time during progress’s unstoppable momentum, and in the right marketplaces to help the most people possible. Peter Hoppenfeld is this kind of rare gem. After working with Peter for ten years he is my go-to person for all online and business questions. Because of his unique and priceless head for law and his head for business he is the perfect person to protect, scale, and sustain your enterprise. He is also one of the most trusted names in the business because he knows what’s right and he’s all about bringing the right to light for all of his clients.

"Peter Hoppenfeld is the guy you want having your back."
If you’re an entrepreneur, you can find an “attorney” anywhere. But what you really need is someone like Peter Hoppenfeld. Peter is part-strategist, part-consigliere and – yes – even part-attorney. Sure.. he knows business inside and out. He knows deals, contracts and all the legalese you can shake a stick at. He has a deep knowledge of business, marketing and entrepreneurship. But he also greatly cares about all his clients. And when you need help. Peter Hoppenfeld is the guy you want having your back.

"Peter is just damn good at what he does"
Peter is a brand and business builder, a big picture thinker, a fierce friend and advocate who disarms with his ever-present charm, calm and honesty. And yes, he’s a legal ninja second to none. He’s unstoppable, smart, a class act whose counsel has consistently been a saving grace. He’s just damn good at what he does and is the most creative, determined and savvy partner one could hope for in any business setting. He’s what an attorney should be, but most aren’t. For me, peace of mind is knowing Peter sits on my side of the table.

"Peter is a secret weapon inside my business"
Peter is an attorney…and a skilled one…but to call him that does him a disservice. He is so much more. Peter is a marketing partner, a reasonable and calming voice (in the vast wilderness of “lawyers”), a superb counselor on all sorts of business issues…and most importantly, a trusting friend. A real-life consigliere like no other…and that has nothing to being an adviser to a “crime boss.” He is instead a consigliere to dozens of conscientious business people and entrepreneurs (in a wide variety of businesses, both online and offline) who can guide you through the maze of regulation, compliance…and good taste as well. These business owners rarely make a move in business without calling Peter first….and I am one of them. He is a secret weapon inside my business; and now that you are aware of him, he’s not such a secret to you anymore either…which is good news for you.
