Then, at the age of 40, he embarked on a legal career, graduating cum laude from Georgetown Law in 2007.
Peter honed his litigation expertise at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan in New York City, representing major clients such as Nokia, Home Depot, Access Industries, Mattel, and NFL Properties. He later served as CEO and General Counsel of a national retailer before co-founding Honos Law PLLC in 2019. He has first-chaired both bench and jury trials, argued appeals, and presently serves as a law professor for Civil Procedure, Sales, and Transnational Litigation. Recently, he has also become a published author.
Licensed in New York and Washington, D.C., Peter’s legal practice has spanned civil litigation, appeals, business law, contract negotiation, mergers & acquisitions, trademarks, and copyrights.
