Before committing to the field of law, attorney Peter Sullivan surveyed whether acting as a lawyer would satisfy his passion for intellectual challenges and allow him to make a difference for the better in people's lives. He first embedded himself among leading Wall Street lawyers at the highest level and engaged in corporate litigation, contractual and partnership disputes, securities and accounting fraud, government investigations, and civil appeals. He continued his career survey by dedicating himself to family court litigation, class action suits and appeals on behalf of youth from the poorest sections of New York City. Peter excelled in both environments and strove and continues to strive to meet the highest standards of the profession.

As a lawyer with early practical experience in business and family law litigation, Peter was quickly recruited by and gained acceptance of the matrimonial law bar as one its premiere problem solvers. From the beginning, Peter’s goal has been to translate legal complexities into simple, understandable terms, and, in that way, help others wade through problems they initially thought were unsolvable. With over 25 years of domestic relations practice, Peter has untangled countless daunting legal problems and continues to devise the most advantageous uses of law for clients.
