Sports 'N Torts

Peter A. Law joins Sports ‘N Torts for Season 4 Episode 3. Pete is the senior principal of Law & Moran a 5 lawyer trial firm dedicated to the representation of individuals who have suffered injuries and death due to the negligence of others. Pete has been recognized by various independent surveys as one of Georgia's top trial lawyers, and has been selected as Georgia's Top Lawyer with multi-year number 1 selections (top vote getter of all lawyers, all categories).

His firm's recoveries approach $1.5 billion worth of jury verdicts and settlements. Pete has been counsel for the Plaintiff in approximately 200 recoveries each exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000.00), including more than 45 separate recoveries exceeding five million dollars ($5,000,000.00), more than 85 separate recoveries exceeding three million dollars ($3,000,000.00). Pete has been called “the Million Dollar Man” by the Fulton County Daily Report.
