About Jake
Jake Peters is a lawyer admitted to practice in Iowa, Nebraska and the Federal Circuit. He earned his Juris Doctor from Creighton University School of Law after completing a Bachelor of Science at Iowa State University in 1985. The combination of a Midwestern undergraduate education and a law degree from a regional law school shaped an early interest in courtroom work and service within the bar.
Peters began his legal career after law school and over the years has been active in professional organizations that emphasize trial work and access to counsel. He has participated in the Iowa Academy of Trial Lawyers and is a member of the Iowa Association of Justice. Those affiliations reflect sustained involvement in the trial bar community and in causes that touch on representation of litigants in civil matters.
His community and bar work extend beyond membership. Peters has been involved with the Iowa State Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project, offering pro bono and reduced-fee legal help through organized programs. That volunteer work has kept him connected to the practical needs of clients who face legal problems but lack ready access to counsel. It has also informed his approach to case preparation and client communication.
Peters maintains a private practice at Peters Law Office, P.C. He has handled matters in both state and federal courts, appearing where his license permits. Admission to the Federal Circuit indicates he can present certain appeals at the national appellate level, while licensure in Iowa and Nebraska allows him to litigate in those state systems. His practice reflects the contours of regional litigation and appellate work rather than a narrow specialization.
Colleagues describe him as someone who balances court work and bar involvement. He has combined courtroom practice with participation in professional groups that aim to improve trial practice and expand legal services. That mix of roles has shaped a steady, practice-oriented career rather than one defined by public awards or prominent published scholarship.
He currently concentrates his practice on litigation in the state and federal courts where he is licensed.
