About

I have enjoyed more than thirty years of representing individuals and small businesses, in a variety of contexts, after finishing my first career as an NFL quarterback with the Chiefs and others.  My experience includes handling contested family law matters (throughout the St. Louis Metro Area), business litigation of many types, along with common sense advice for business leaders in various contexts.  Along the way, I have been recognized by Best Lawyers in America and by Law and Politics as a Missouri-Kansas Super Lawyer.  Extensive experience in business litigation sets me apart from other attorneys, as it gives me familiarity with complicated financial issues, including valuation of stock in closely-held businesses, real estate partnerships, trusts, and interests in retirement and stock option plans.  Always happy to respond to serious questions on any of those topics, without an initial charge.

I hired Pete to take care of a complex, out of state, legal matter that had been dragging on for over two years. I can honestly say that Pete worked for my family and me in an unselfish manner by putting our needs first, with no secret agenda. He held nothing back, and he was completely honest with us during his entire representation. His brilliant evaluation of my case added a whole new perspective to my arguments and he immediately dove in and aggressively began fixing the mistakes and issues which had previously weakened my case. I can't thank him enough for being a true advocate for us. I am certain that, had I hired him sooner, the case would have been resolved with little damage. Pete often calls himself a "problem solver," and I can most definitely affirm that title for him. He restored my faith in the legal profession when all hope was lost. Not only did Pete gain a client, but he gained a friend for life as well, and I cannot thank him enough.
