Pete began his professional journey with an exceptional academic foundation in New York, earning his Bachelor of Arts from Fordham University in 1986. Driven by a deep commitment to advocacy, he went on to pursue his legal education at the City University of New York, where he mastered civil litigation and courtroom strategy before graduating with his Juris Doctor in 1989. For over thirty years since entering the legal field, Pete has built an elite reputation as a premier legal strategist, dedicating his career to fighting for the complete and maximum compensation that injured individuals and their loved ones deserve.

He has mastered the nuances of litigation involving severe burn injuries, scarring, disfigurement, and utility negligence, particularly arising out of house and commercial fires, electrocutions, natural gas explosions, and carbon monoxide exposure. He is also highly sought after for his experience handling devastating trucking accidents and cases involving the negligent operation, maintenance, and supervision of construction sites and gas or electric facilities. Whether successfully utilizing mediation and arbitration to secure favorable settlements outside of court or constructing thoughtful, evidence-driven presentations to deeply connect with judges and jurors at trial, Pete ensures that his clients are fully and justly compensated for a lifetime of economic losses, physical pain, and mental anguish.

Pete brings this incredible wealth of trial wisdom, investigative skill, and litigation strategy to the Morgan and Morgan office in Jersey City.
