About Peter
Peter Vlantis studied politics and law in Chicago before turning to courtroom work. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Illinois at Chicago and then took his legal training at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where he also completed a Trial Advocacy Certificate. The certificate signaled an early interest in courtroom practice and trial procedure.
After law school, Vlantis built his legal career in Illinois. He is a member of the Illinois State Bar and maintains ties to professional groups across the city and the country. Those memberships include the Chicago Bar Association, the Hellenic Bar Association, the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, the American Association for Justice, and the National Trial Lawyers, where his membership dates back to 2011. The list reflects steady involvement in organizations that center on litigation and trial issues.
He founded Vlantis Law LLC and has led the firm since its inception. Founding a small practice gave him direct control over case selection and courtroom strategy. It also showed a preference for hands-on work: taking depositions, arguing motions, and handling trials rather than delegating those tasks. He built the firm as a place for litigators who want frequent courtroom exposure.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in the courtroom. He prepares methodically. He pays attention to fact patterns and procedural detail. That preparation style fits the Trial Advocacy training he completed at Loyola. Membership in trial-oriented bar groups aligns with his regular courtroom presence. He has balanced law firm duties and bar association activities over the years.
Vlantis’s practice centers on litigation and trial work in Illinois. He represents clients in contested matters that require courtroom appearances and argument. He handles pretrial investigation and litigation strategy and brings cases to trial when necessary. His approach is straightforward: assess the claim, map out the litigation path, and proceed to resolution by motion or trial.
For attorneys and clients in Chicago and across Illinois, Vlantis is a familiar presence in courtrooms and bar events. He continues to run Vlantis Law LLC and to participate actively in local and national trial lawyer organizations. His current practice concentrates on litigation and trial work in Illinois.
