About Peter
Peter Lazarus is a lawyer whose career spans several decades. He trained in two different disciplines before turning to the law, studying philosophy and psychology at Alfred University and earning his Bachelor of Arts in 1984. He went on to the University of San Diego, where he completed his Juris Doctor in 1987.
After law school, Lazarus moved into private practice. His professional biography lists Pacific Lawyer Group as his current place of employment. Over the years he has worked on cases that required courtroom presence and careful file management. He combines classroom training from the 1980s with practical experience gained in modern litigation settings.
Lazarus belongs to the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, a membership group that counts attorneys who have obtained substantial verdicts and settlements. He maintains that membership today. That association signals a history of handling significant matters, although his public profile focuses on case work rather than publicity.
Colleagues describe his approach as methodical. He prepares for hearings with attention to factual detail and expects the same of opposing counsel. He values clear written work and organizes files so that matters can move forward without delay. In court he favors concise argument and careful record-building. Those traits have shaped the way he handles discovery and trial preparation.
Outside of the courtroom, Lazarus applies analytical skills from his undergraduate studies. Philosophical training informs how he frames issues for judges and juries. Psychology helps in assessing witnesses and crafting persuasive narratives. He brings those tools to client meetings and deposition strategy alike.
Today Lazarus practices at Pacific Lawyer Group. He represents clients in a range of civil matters and continues to handle litigation that reaches trial. His work remains centered on presenting clients’ positions in court and managing the practical steps that lead from complaint to resolution.
