His practice is focused on consumer class action defense and complex commercial litigation. Peter is a two-time BTI Consulting Client Service All-Star and is ranked in Band 3 in Chambers USA for Nationwide Consumer Class Action Defense. 

Peter defended Ford in a four-month, $2 billion, certified class action trial in Sacramento, California in 2007, which settled on the day of closing arguments for a no-cash, coupon-based agreement. He also served on the trial team that obtained a complete defense verdict in an $800 million certified class trial in St. Clair County, Illinois in 2004.
