About Peter
Biography
I grew up in Bridgeport, Connecticut as the oldest of 7 siblings. I grew up competing in tennis, baseball, basketball and football. I played baseball, tennis and football at Central Magnet High School in Bridgeport, where I was class president. I earned a full tuition academic Leadership Scholarship to the University of Connecticut where I was invited to be a preferred walk-on football player for the Division 1A Uconn Huskies, until my knee surgery, concussions and academic focuses led me to hang up my cleats. Thereupon, I ran and won for student goverment senate where I served on various committees and led the way on impactful campus initiatives. In my junior year, I started my own live talk show which aired every Tuesday night on campus TV for my final two years there. My guests included Lil Wayne, Ice Cube, Wyclef, Diana Taurasi, Emeka Okafor and Cee Lo Green. After graduating from Uconn's business school, I took my talents and ambitions to New York City, continuing my production pursuits of my TV show teaming up with producers from MTV and ultimately getting a distribution deal for my content with a Los Angeles distributor. While in New York I worked for a publicist Amy Brownstein and was the doorman at the world-renowned Soho House.
When my father decided to run for mayor of Bridgeport, I moved back to volunteer on his campaign. He won the election and I began producing TV commercials for local businesses. I created an after-school and summer program teaching students about production. I 2010 I released my full length feature movie My Hustle at the Soho House in NY. I continued producing content for clients, but decided I wanted more, so I decided to go back to school and become a lawyer. It has been the best decision I've ever made. I met my wife in law school and have been happily married since 2018. If it wasn't for my family and friends, I would not be where I am today. As a lawyer, I help people find answers to their problems, which has always been something I am good at - solving problems.

Seamless process
Going through a criminal case is not easy when you have never went through the process before. Lawyer Finch clearly explained what I should expect during the court proceedings. If I ever need help if I get in a pinch I will call Lawyer Finch.

Perfect balance of professionalism and care
Attorney Finch is the perfect balance of professionalism and care. He explains the steps involving my case and how the court system works. He was realistic but optimistic and made me feel extremely confident in his ability. I will be hiring him as my attorney.
