Peter's Legal Career

 Palivos worked three years for the law firm of Rittenberg, Krichiver & Buffen. He was made a partner in the law firm after three years.

Palivos opened his own law practice a year later which specialized in injury and workman’s compensation claims.  At one time his practice had 1,000 pending cases within the court system. To represent his clients, Palivos often worked 12 to 14-hour days, six days a week.

Palivos was a very successful trial attorney because he could always connect with all people because he likes all people. As a result, Palivois was a multi-millionaire by the time he was only 30 years old.

Regarding his success, Palivos says it often feels surreal because " I was the poor kid that used to earn 25 cents for shining shoes and as a successful attorney I would often make over $100,000 on just one case. $100,000 is a lot of quarters. But success never got to my head because I always remember my humble roots. I never forgot that I am the poor kid from Uptown Chicago who became successful because of the great opportunities that America gave me."

From  1983 to the present Palivos has handled thousands of cases. The most rewarding are those which allow him to fight for the little guy against large corporations that injure innocent people.

Palivos is currently handling cases against Boeing Corporation connected to the MAX 737 plane crashes in 2018 and 2019; cases against 42 different opioid manufacturers and distributors for causing the opioid epidemic; cases against several baby food manufacturers for placing toxic metals in baby food products; and cases against major car and business insurance companies for not giving adequate premium refunds to their insureds during the Covid pandemic.

The legal cases that Palivos has brought and won have helped millions of American consumers. Palivos states " Most American companies are good citizens and do a lot of good. However, there are always a few bad apples that cut corners and damage innocent people. It is these evil companies that we have successfully sued. There is always one common denominator with these companies. It is always corporate greed because they put profits before the lives and health of innocent people."
