About Pete

Pete’s excellent record in fighting for fairness in complex commercial litigation cases and successfully navigating sensitive domestic issues speaks for itself. The majority of Pete’s clients are referrals from existing clients and other attorneys, which further highlights his outstanding character, work ethic and devotion he shows to those he represents. Whether it’s family law, a business dispute, a case involving the enforcement of or challenge to a restrictive covenant, non-solicitation or confidentiality agreement, or a shareholder or partner dispute involving publicly or closely held companies, Pete has made a name for his levelheaded expertise in these areas.

A native of the Buffalo suburb of Hamburg, New York, Pete became interested in the legal profession while supporting the congressional campaign of Representative Jack Kemp, and then after college as an administrative assistant to the Honorable Martin Stevens, a Member of Parliament in London, England. Before the formation of MHS, Pete was a partner with the law firm Decker & Hallman, P.C.

Pete is an active board member of Feet on the Street Ministries whose mission is to provide coordinated services to homeless and low-income individuals and families throughout metro Atlanta. In his spare time, Pete enjoys playing golf, traveling, and listening to live music with family and friends.
