Upon graduation from law school, Peter took a different path by pursuing a career in commercial construction and learned the business from the ground up. He has been involved in various multi-million dollar projects from sales to project management and handing over the completed project.

That unique perspective allowed Peter to re-enter the legal field and provide a unique perspective when helping contractors and property owners solve insurance dispute issues and general litigation, contractual, and business issues.

Peter was raised in Oaxaca, Mexico as a missionary kid, and he speaks fluent Spanish, a skill that has helped in both his construction and legal careers. He married his wife, Ana, while in law school as she completed her Ph.D.

They have two sons: Peter (V) and Noah. Peter's unique upbringing and moral fiber drive him to provide fair and dedicated services to his clients and ensure they receive the best possible outcome from their legal issues.
