Helped more than 200 individuals protect and preserve their rights against aggressive auto insurance defense teams.

Don't settle for an attorney who settles, get competent counsel from an experienced trial lawyer.

Wrongful Death 25%

Representing families for claims of wrongful death presents unique challenges and opportunities to help people when things seem to be at their worst. Obtaining accountability on behalf of families is the best thing I could ever do with my law degree.

Medical Malpractice 20%

Have handled more than 100 medical malpractice cases. It is becoming more and more challenging to represent families and individuals injured by medical negligence in Utah due to some very significant lobbying by the malpractice insurance companies. The economics and and pitfalls of litigating a medical malpractice case make this area of practice a highly specialized and difficult to navigate.

Great attorney who kept me informed throughout the process

Peter represented me on a case that I was very nervous about going forward with. The whole stinking process is so confusing and intimidating to begin with. I am thankful I did, and he helped calm my fears right from the start. I had just previously 'fired' my other counsel because she clearly didn't... have my best interests in mind (at one point when the judge asked her if she had any rebuttal to opposing counsel's argument she stated "no he summed it up"). I was blown away.... It was beyond frustrating and I was ready to just give up and go home. Peter was recommended by a family member he'd helped and I'm glad they did. Peter reassured me that win or lose, everything would be fine. In the end we got what we were after thanks to his knowledge and expertise. I can't thank him enough for how much he helped me through this terrible ordeal. The opposing couns was rerrible and gives the good lawyers of this world a bad name. Thanks again Peter, you are the best!
