Prior to becoming a trial lawyer, Peter enjoyed a successful 14-year career as an on-air radio DJ at various radio stations throughout the country. It was an exciting career, which gave him the opportunity to work with the public, and what Peter found to be the most rewarding part of the job. When Peter initiated a station-sponsored fundraiser for an eleven year old girl in need of an organ transplant, he decided he wanted to make a career out of helping others, and became a trial lawyer.

Excellent attorney
I consulted with Peter regarding employment contract issues. He was very knowledgeable and direct with his assessment and advice. I felt that he listened to my concerns and I truly felt that he was on my side which is how one should feel in these difficult moments. I couldn’t have asked for a bette...

Clear, Concise, Efficient and Ethical
After experiencing a troublesome situation with my former employer, I became increasingly more concerned with receiving my earned commissions and wages in a timely fashion. After deadlines were missed and agreed to terms were broken, I sought out the advice and counsel of Mr. Kaufman who came highly ...

Very responsive, but be wary of contracts.
Mr. Kaufman was very responsive at first. His contract left me with an uneasy feeling. All I can say is just be wary. Loved his personality and enthusiasm, but the contract left me open to decisions that he alone could make. He was ranked number one in South Carolina and I rely on ratings. J...
Thank you for your review, specifically your acknowledgment as to my responsiveness, an attribute which all of my clients speak to. So that readers of this forum are fully informed, it's imperative to point out that you were the classic "lawyer shopper," who wanted to engage in excessive back-and-forth regarding contractual terms, and even proposed having other lawyers look at those terms. Lawyer shoppers always give us pause. Moreover, a prospective client who professes to have, "done Google research and 'knows' their case is worth 'hundreds of millions of dollars'," is also cause for alarm. I hope things worked out for you.

Results oriented Professional who got my non-compete reduced
I contacted Mr. Kaufman back in December 2016 after I was terminated by my employer and whom enforced my non-compete clause. At first I was skeptical of the litigation process. However, Peter guided and assisted my case in a very professional manner. I was hindered from finding a job within my indust...
"Peter and I have worked together on several cases. He is compassionate and goes above and beyond to represent his clients. He truly cares about his clients and often stays in touch with them long after his representation has ended. I would recommend Peter for any employment or personal injury case without hesitation."
"Peter is an accomplished trial attorney and a worthy, yet collegial adversary. I have tried and case with Peter and he was a zealous advocate for his client throughout the proceedings. I would recommend friends and family members to Peter as an attorney."
