M. Alden Peterson

Alden’s association with the Buckwalter firm began in 2000, while he was still a student at UC Santa Cruz. Returning to work with Phil and Nicholas in 2015 presented a homecoming of sorts as he came full circle to the origins of his interest in the law. With over 15 years of experience in the law as a paralegal and now an attorney, Alden is a skilled and empathetic communicator who enjoys presenting complex legal principles in a clear and concise manner. Alden nurtures a particular interest in the ways in which our law is adaptable to the novel technologies and relationships of the 21st-century. In his free time, Alden enjoys writing historical fiction and spending time with his wife, Sara, and young son, Samuel.
