Overview
Founder & Managing Attorney | Law Offices of Peter G. Aziz & Associates LLC
Peter G. Aziz is the founder and managing attorney of the Law Offices of Peter G. Aziz & Associates LLC. A graduate of Widener University School of Law at just 23 years old, Peter distinguished himself early on as one of the youngest graduates in the school’s history — a testament to his ambition, discipline, and passion for the law.
Peter brings extensive trial experience to his practice, having successfully tried hundreds of cases to verdict as lead trial counsel. He has argued and prevailed in both Municipal and State Courts, earning a reputation for his courtroom presence, strategic thinking, and relentless advocacy. Beyond litigation, Peter is also a trusted advisor and transactional attorney, having closed thousands of real estate transactions — from high-value portfolio deals to straightforward residential transfers.
As the managing attorney of the firm, Peter leads with a clear, client-first philosophy: “What would I expect from my attorney if I were the client?” This guiding principle informs not only the quality of legal work but also the responsiveness and integrity that clients experience every day. His leadership ensures that both the firm’s goals and clients’ needs are met with excellence and care.
Peter is currently appointed to the New Jersey Supreme Court Ethics Committee for District VC, where he helps uphold the highest standards of professionalism in the legal community.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
