About Peter Samouris

Proudly serving Michigan with steady legal guidance built on decades of real courtroom experience.

Built Around Real Courtroom Experience

Peter C. Samouris has spent more than 30 years representing clients through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. After earning his law degree from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 1994, he began building a practice focused on criminal defense, family law, business disputes, and complex litigation. Over the years, he has handled matters ranging from DUI and drug charges to serious felony cases, CPS defense, divorce, custody disputes, and high-stakes business conflicts. That breadth of experience shapes a practical, prepared approach clients feel from the very first conversation.
