I don't care where they're from."  *— Steve Rogers, Captain America: The First Avenger*  Some corporations, employers, and tech platforms get comfortable with the upper hand. They lean on their money, their lawyers, and their experience working the system, and they count on you getting tired or intimidated first.   Most of the time, that advantage ends the fight before it starts.   It shouldn't. And with the right lawyer, it doesn't. # What Happened to You Matters [![A woman sits on the edge of a bed in a teenager's bedroom, looking down at her phone.](https://robertpeterslaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Quiet%20Bedroom%20Phone%20Moment-2.png?width=1260&height=945&name=Quiet%20Bedroom%20Phone%20Moment-2.png)](https://robertpeterslaw.com/online-harm?hsLang=en) Maybe you were harassed or exploited, and the platform let it happen.   **Online Harm & Platform Accountability →** [![A gray-haired woman carrying a folder walks down the hallway of an older brick office building as two people talk in a doorway ahead.](https://robertpeterslaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Walking%20Through%20the%20Sunlit%20Hallway.png?width=1448&height=1086&name=Walking%20Through%20the%20Sunlit%20Hallway.png)](https://robertpeterslaw.com/employment?hsLang=en) Maybe you spoke up, and management treated you like the problem.   **Employment & Workplace Rights →** [![A man at a wooden kitchen table reviews financial statements with a pen in hand, a cup of coffee beside him.](https://robertpeterslaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/MiddleAged%20Person%20Reviewing%20Nursing%20Home%20Bills.png?width=1448&height=1086&name=MiddleAged%20Person%20Reviewing%20Nursing%20Home%20Bills.png)](https://robertpeterslaw.com/personal-injury?hsLang=en) Maybe you were hurt or cheated, and the company tried to bury it.   **Personal Injury, Negligence & Fraud →** [![A man in a tweed blazer walks along a brick sidewalk carrying a folder, past a historic red-brick building.](https://robertpeterslaw.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Man%20In%20Professor%20Attire%20Walking%20Past%20Red%20Brick%20Building.png?width=1448&height=1086&name=Man%20In%20Professor%20Attire%20Walking%20Past%20Red%20Brick%20Building.png)](https://robertpeterslaw.com/civil-rights?hsLang=en) Maybe those with power abused it, then closed ranks to protect themselves.   **Civil Rights & Institutional Accountability →** # "No, You Move." "Doesn’t matter what the press says. Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — **“No, you move.”** *— Captain America, The Amazing Spider-Man #537* That's the standard I've tried to hold my entire career.   As a prosecutor, I held accountable people who exploited their power over children and other vulnerable victims. Later I led an internationally recognized independent investigation service for faith communities around the world, following the facts wherever they led, even when the answers were unwelcome.   Now I hold that line for people who've been harmed or exploited by someone with more power.   I know what it takes to speak up, and how much it matters when someone actually listens. --- ![Robert Peters law firm](https://robertpeterslaw.com/hubfs/Robert%20Peters%20law%20firm.png "Robert Peters law firm") [More About Me →](https://robertpeterslaw.com/about-robert?hsLang=en) # Meet Robert Years ago when I was a prosecutor, a child from one of my cases sent me a note. She thanked me for winning, then told me she would have been grateful even if we had lost. She said she knew how hard I had worked on her case.   I still think about that note. Of course the outcome mattered; the perpetrator needed to be put away for the rest of his life, and serious safety issues hung in the balance. But that child taught me something I've never forgotten: knowing someone is in your corner matters, too.   I began my career as a prosecutor handling child abuse and exploitation cases. Later, I led independent investigations into allegations of misconduct at institutions around the world. My career taught me how to build a case, follow the facts, and stand firm when powerful people want you to back down.   Through it all, I've never forgotten what that little girl chose to thank me for. How we fight for others matters just as much as the outcome. # A Very Particular Set of Skills #### Former Prosecutor  Hundreds of cases prosecuted, including jury trial convictions on 143 sex crime counts in a single case, with a sentence of 230 to 735 years.    #### Complex Investigations More than 70 independent investigations of institutions, including residential facilities, multisite locations, and large-scale investigations on three continents.   #### Nationally Recognized Speaker Trained prosecutors and law enforcement from all 50 states at the Dallas Crimes Against Children Conference, the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force's National Law Enforcement Training on Child Exploitation, the International Symposium on Child Abuse, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference, and other premier conferences.   #### Digital Evidence & AI Published on digital evidence, cloud data, and forensic expert witnesses. National lecturer on deepfakes and AI-generated evidence. I also train digital forensic experts to testify in court.  # How I Build a Case   If it exists, I'll find it. Records, devices, metadata, and the email someone hoped was gone. Powerful organizations leave paper trails and digital breadcrumbs, and I know where to look. When they stall or obstruct discovery, I show that delay costs much more than cooperation.   Brick by brick. Most cases don't turn on a smoking gun. They turn on dozens of small details that line up. Put together carefully, they show the irrefutable truth. **Built for the courtroom.** I prepare every case as if it's headed to trial. If the other side won't make it right, that is exactly where the case is headed.   **Your case, your call.** You know what happened, and the result matters most to you. You'll get candid advice from me and a real voice in every major decision.   **Not intimidated.** Deep pockets and big-name defense firms get the same fight as everyone else. ### They may have the power. That doesn't make them right, and it doesn't give them the last word. Power should answer to the law. When you're ready to tell them, "No, you move," I'll stand with you.
