About E. Peter
E. Peter Pfaff earned his undergraduate degree from Boston University in 1970 and completed his legal education at the State University of New York at Buffalo, receiving his J.D. in 1976. Those years framed the start of a long legal career that has spanned both coasts and multiple court systems. The combination of a liberal arts background and formal legal training shaped the practical approach he brings to cases.
After law school, Pfaff built a practice that has included admissions to state and federal bars. He is authorized to practice in New York and Florida, and he is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida and the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York. Those admissions have allowed him to appear in state trial courts and in federal forums, representing clients in matters that require courtroom presence as well as written advocacy.
Pfaff has practiced under the name Law Offices of E. Peter Pfaff. Over the decades he has worked on matters that require litigation readiness and familiarity with procedural rules in multiple jurisdictions. He has handled filings, motions, and trials in both state and federal settings. The practical demands of cross-jurisdictional work have influenced the methods he uses when preparing cases and advising clients.
He belongs to several professional organizations that reflect the geographic range of his work. His memberships include the St. Petersburg Bar Association, the Bar Association of Erie County, the New York State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, The Florida Bar, and the Pinellas County Trial Lawyers. Those affiliations indicate regular engagement with peers in both Florida and New York and participation in local and national legal communities.
