John Sansone, county counsel for 12 years, recalls Peters as a highly qualified attorney: "He had an uncanny ability to communicate."

 

"I think Scott Peters has been part of the solution," Michael Conger

 

 "I would say he's he best county counsel I've ever worked with," Bill Worrell, former head of the county's Solid Waste Department

 

 "A large part of being city attorney is similar to being a managing partner of a law firm...one of your responsibilities is to develop a team and inspire people to do their best work and I think Scott has those qualities," Ali Mojdehi, Partner, Baker & McKenzie

 

Lloyd Harman was the county counsel at the time (Peters went to work at the County); he praised Peters' analytical abilities and said the young lawyer had an excellent rapport with elected officials:

"He has good judgement. He doesn't jump to rash conclusions. That was something that existed the whole time he was at the office," Harman said.

 

Attorney Dwight Worden...went up against Peters in litigation...Worden said, Peters revealed he was a strong political player and a savvy attorney:

"Scott did a great job, as a lawyer" Worden said. "He was very honorable to deal with and he was a tough litigator."
