About Peter
Peter Samouris built his legal foundation at the University of San Francisco, where he earned a B.A. in Political Science. He went on to complete his J.D. at Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 1994. That education preceded an early move into practice the following year.
In 1995 Samouris joined Grabel & Associates. He has been associated with the firm through multiple office locations. Over the years he has maintained active ties to bar organizations in the states where he practices. His memberships include the Michigan State Bar and the Illinois State Bar, and he also holds memberships in the Hellenic Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the American Association for Justice.
Samouris is admitted to practice in both Illinois and Michigan. His federal admissions cover several district courts: the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, the Eastern District of Michigan, the Northern District of Illinois, the Southern District of Illinois, and the Western District of Michigan. Those admissions allow him to take matters in federal forums across both states.
Early in his career he began handling matters that required appearances in state and federal courts. He developed familiarity with procedural and courtroom practice in multiple jurisdictions. The record shows steady involvement in litigation practice through his work at Grabel & Associates. He combines courtroom experience with the procedural demands of federal filings and state-court work, operating where both systems intersect.
Colleagues describe him as someone who sustains long-term professional ties through bar association participation. His membership in the Hellenic Bar Association reflects a connection to a professional community that extends beyond state lines. He also maintains national affiliations through the ABA and the American Association for Justice.
Throughout his career Samouris has balanced work in state courts and in the federal districts where he is admitted. He remains with Grabel & Associates and continues to handle matters arising in Illinois and Michigan as well as in the federal courts listed above. He currently practices at Grabel & Associates and handles legal matters in Illinois and Michigan and in the federal districts where he is admitted.
