About Me,
Peter George O’Connor
Founding Attorney
As a criminal defense attorney and Army veteran, I have personally handled nearly every criminal case imaginable. I know the strategies used by prosecutors and, more importantly, I know how to defend against them. When looking for a lawyer, you need aggressive and experienced counsel to successfully defend your rights.
Prior to starting my firm, I worked for a nationally recognized private criminal defense and DUI attorney. During that time, I represented hundreds of individuals facing the criminal justice system, license suspensions, jail, etc.
All my courtroom experience comes from private practice – I’ve had to earn my clients’ trust and respect.
I’ve never worked for the government.
