Peter Gregory Hatfield

Partner

Peter focuses on the firm’s litigation practice.

Peter is honored to become a life member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum by the Top Trial Lawyers in America, where membership is only offered to those attorneys who have obtained 7 figure settlements or verdicts. He has been named a 12-time “Rising Star” by Super Lawyer in Maryland and the District, a Top 100 Plaintiff’s Lawyer by The National Trial Lawyers, and has previously been named “Top 10 Under 40” lawyer in Maryland. His total recoveries on behalf of his clients total in the tens of millions and he has taken over 150 trials to verdict.

Peter has a particular interest in representing injured children, surgical clients, and those diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries. He welcomes clients from all walks of life and believes that every client deserves to have their story told and listened to. Peter enjoys fighting for the “underdog” instead of the "business is business" insurance company. Notably, Peter once represented a Siberian Husky who was injured by someone else while working as a service dog. Thankfully, his client made a beautiful recovery.

Peter is a Howard County native and graduated from Mount Saint Joseph High School. He lives in a full house with his wife, four young children, a German Shepherd, a Newfoundland, and a Golden Retriever. He enjoys time with his family and is an assistant coach with the Boys Under-10, Thunder Soccer Club of Howard County. Peter once raced motorcycles in the CFG Bank Arena (i.e. Baltimore Arena) and he now coaches his sons who ride motocross bikes recreationally. He is an active member of a USAC road cycling team, Baltimore Bicycle Works, hailing from Baltimore City.
