At the start of my administrative legal matter, I contacted a New Jersey State PBA-approved attorney through the Legal Protection Plan. After learning the nature and complexity of my case, that attorney referred me to Peter Paris, describing him as an exceptionally intelligent lawyer who specializes in intricate workplace investigations. He assured me I would be in “good hands” with Peter, citing his advanced critical thinking and deep understanding of disciplinary procedures.
That referral proved to be one of the most pivotal moments of my career.
I had long been familiar with Peter’s work through New Jersey Cops magazine, where he regularly contributes to the “Legal Brief” section. In the April 2024 edition, he authored Me-First Policing: Know Your IA Guy—a powerful piece that exposes how certain internal affairs officers lose sight of their roots, sometimes recklessly damaging the careers of their fellow officers. That article hit close to home. I was living through one of those very cases.
When I retained Peter Paris, I was facing the most challenging and uncertain period of my professional life. I was searching for answers, clarity, and hope. As my case advanced into depositions, I witnessed an attorney operating at the highest level. Peter absorbed the details of my story and transformed them into a compelling legal narrative. His ability to anticipate strategy, challenge inconsistencies, and uphold fairness in the process was nothing short of masterful.
Peter Paris did not just represent me, but he restored my belief in due process.
If you are a law enforcement officer confronting a workplace investigation, disciplinary action, or internal affairs matter, I cannot recommend Peter Paris highly enough. Working with Peter reminded me that when everything feels stacked against you, the right attorney can make all the difference. I cannot thank you enough for your assistance in restoring my career.
