Peter S. Kovacs

Clients looking for evidence of Peter's litigation results need look no further than his office window sill, where copies of more than $3 million in client settlement checks are framed.

Peter settled two high-profile class action cases against Sprint and SBC in 2004, benefiting more than 500,000 phone subscribers combined.

Known for his accessibility and responsiveness to his clients, Peter has represented trade associations and small to medium-sized businesses in their challenges against Ameritech Indiana and other incumbent local exchange carriers' policies and practices.

Peter graduated with a doctor of jurisprudence degree from the Indiana University School of Law, Indianapolis.

The son of a German-born mother and a Hungarian-born father, Peter says being raised as a first-generation American by hard-working parents without formal educations helped instill in him a strong work ethic. It also gave him a devout appreciation of the American judicial system.

"The liberties and the freedom our system provides and that our judicial system safeguards are things that my parents didn't have when they were growing up. Now, I'm in the position to contribute to that," he says.
