David Traylor, Criminal defense Attorney
Relationship: Friend
Peter and I went to the same high school many years ago. Since then he has become one of the finest and most highly regarded criminal defense lawyers in the state. And he's a pure criminal defense lawyer; from day one he's defended - never prosecuted a soul. That's actually somewhat rare at his level. He's a good man.
Mark Meisinger, Criminal defense Attorney
