About Peter
Biography
I first came to Atlanta to study chemical engineering at Georgia Tech. After working for a while in the consumer products research and development field, I decided it was time to change gears. I attended law school at night while continuing to work as an engineer, and have not looked back since. The engineer in me always gets a thrill out of analyzing complex situations and formulating thorough and thoughtful solutions, but what I enjoy most about the practice of law is getting to meet new people, hear their stories, and help them see their goals realized.
