September 23, 2024 So much of this firm’s success can be traced to co-founder Peter Kraus’s unwavering commitment to individuals injured by dangerous products and negligent corporate practices, so we’re not surprised that peer lawyers would name him Attorney of the Year for Product Liability Litigation in the 2025 edition of Best Lawyers in America®.
Over the course of his career, Peter has earned record verdicts and settlements against corporate interests that manufacture dangerous and defective products, including medical devices, or expose Americans to asbestos and other toxic chemicals. In addition, he has taken leadership roles in mass torts and multidistrict litigation and served on the ABA Commission on Asbestos Litigation and the Federal Judicial Center Foundation. All the while, he has stressed the importance of community involvement to ensure access for all to the civil justice system, as well as pro bono work supporting critically important voter protections and human rights.
Waters Kraus Paul & Siegel congratulates Peter Kraus on this well-deserved honor.
