Ever since I was a kid I always rooted for the underdog. Just because one side has the power, money and influence doesn’t mean they should get their way. The law is supposed to treat all people equally, however, it often doesn’t unless you have a strong advocate on your side. I represent regular people in cases against insurance companies and thier employers. These are entities with nearly unlimited resources, power and influence. Injured workers often do not know how to navigate a complex insurance bureaucracy that is designed to limit care, costs and compensation so the employer saves money and insurance companies make a profit. People in these scenarios should never go it alone. I fight for regular people who find themselves in difficult if not impossible situations. I have devoted my career to helping the little guy succeed. At my office I tailor a legal strategy for each individual client--there is no one size fits all approach. I fight tirelessly so that my clients receive every benefit and protection available by law. Let ME work for YOU.

"As a former defense attorney, I always knew I had to be on top of my game if Peter was opposing counsel. Now as an Applicant’s attorney, I admire how he has developed into a top notch workers’ compensation attorney. A client is more than just in capable hands - Peter will not rest until his client gets what he/she deserves. Quite simply, Peter raises the standard of excellence."
"I worked with Peter on two different matters, both of which were difficult and complicated. He showed an impressive command of the nuances of the workers compensation system and an excellent ability to communicate with clients. I endorse him without reservation and recommend his a first-choice, aggressive comp attorney to anyone with a work injury."
"I highly recommend Peter Gimbel to anyone looking for a workers' compensation attorney. Peter has a great reputation in the legal community and is a beast at the workers' compensation board."
"Peter is a zealous advocate for his clients. I would not hesitate to refer friends or family to Peter, as I know they will be in great hands."
"Knowledgable, determined and superb in the courtroom, Peter is the type of lawyer that you want in your corner. Peer endorsements were made for attorneys like this, and I could not recommend him more."
"Peter is an excellent Workers' Compensation attorney. His many years of experience make him well-versed in the applicable law and have molded him into a zealous advocate that will go to great lengths to ensure his client's are receiving all of their benefits."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer based on my experience of collaboratively working with him on prior cases. He is especially skilled in complex matters or those involving multi-forum litigation."
"Peter is a sharp attorney, and is very effective at maneuvering a case in his client's best interest. I refer complex cases his way, when I come across them, and my client's are always happy with his work."
"Mr. Gimbel is an intelligent attorney and a zealous advocate for his clients. He is results-oriented and not afraid to take a matter through trial. I endorse this lawyer."
