Peter T. Tomaras

Firm Overview

Mr. Tomaras specializes in hotel, restaurant and bar cases; he has extensive management experience in all three disciplines. He is selective as to which cases he undertakes, accepting cases he deems ethically sound—integrity above remuneration.

Assisting counsel for defendant or plaintiff, he thoroughly researches discovery and legal issues and formulates objective opinions on all case aspects.

Mr. Tomaras writes meticulous, thorough, grammatically-correct reports of expert opinion, including an overview of context and citations from discovery, sometimes referencing case precedent. At deposition or trial, his teaching background equips him to present authoritative, educational and confident expert-witness testimony.

Mr. Tomaras also advises operators, franchisers, and lenders on hospitality industry management and development projects.

Please note: Where his practice was formerly international, Mr. Tomaras presently limits his cases to those in Illinois and locations immediately contiguous, such as St. Louis, Quad Cities, and Indianapolis.
