Peter J. Flowers

Attorney Peter J. Flowers believes a hands-on approach is the only way to handle delicate cases involving serious injury and death. A partner in the firm of Meyers & Flowers, Mr. Flowers has represented countless families whose lives have been tragically changed because of medical malpractice, catastrophic injuries from workplace injuries and automobile accidents, and from defective products. He has also represented the victims and families of victims of nursing home abuse and of sexual abuse. His attention to the special needs of those clients comes from a strong sense of loyalty to them and a shared desire to assure no one else experiences their pain. "As a lawyer, I live and breathe my client's cases. Some of my best friends are my clients; people I still talk to, kids I still take care of on many different levels. This is different from a one-time injury that gets fixed and goes away; these are catastrophic events that forever tie you to your client. If you don't get emotionally involved, you're not be properly representing them." This approach has earned Mr. Flowers tremendous results and numerous honors over the years. He's been named an Illinois Super Lawyer in the area of medical malpractice, and recognized as a Leading Lawyer in Illinois by his peers, a distinction earned by only 5% of the state's lawyers. He is a member of both the Million Dollar Advocate Forum for resolving many cases in excess of $1 million, and the elite Verdict Club society which includes top attorneys from around the United States. Mr. Flowers is an active member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and over the years has served in a number of leadership positions. Most notably, he was the organization's president from 2009-2010. His tenure was marked by the organization's successful fight to protect the rights of patients. His writings during that time were widely distributed. Born in Naperville in 1967, Mr. Flowers roots in the community are long-standing, and include a strong place in his heart for children and those impacted by cancer. He actively supports a transitional home in Naperville that helps medically fragile children leave the hospital and return home to their families.
