Connecticut Law Tribune: Meet Peter Dreyer, Whose Star Is on the Rise in Connecticut Law

June 17, 2025

The Connecticut Law Tribune published a profile of Silver Golub & Teitell Managing Partner Peter Dreyer, chronicling his journey from his early days as a prosecutor at the Bronx District Attorney's Office to his current role as president of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association (CTLA).

The CTLA was “like a thousand-member law firm” with a responsibility to support trial lawyers in the state, Mr. Dreyer, who became president for a one-year term on June 16, told the Law Tribune, saying his goal as president was to strengthen the organization.

“One of the big responsibilities as CTLA president is to make the organization useful for it’s members,” he said. “There is a lot going on in the law that requires law firms to adapt,” he said, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity threats and attacks on the rule of law.

The profile recounted how Mr. Dreyer was inspired to become a trial lawyer by his parents, who both had a passion for service. He studied law at UCLA School of Law and served in the Bronx District Attorney’s Office, one of the biggest in the United States, until he joined Silver Golub & Teitell as a medical malpractice and personal injury lawyer.

It highlighted a recent medical malpractice case in which Mr. Dreyer’s client had become permanently disabled from her injuries and was unable to get the medical care and therapy she needed.

"We built a case that couldn't be defended, and the case settled," Dreyer told the Law Tribune. "She has her own place now. She's getting all the treatment that she could possibly need from high-quality providers. And she was out on a walk, and she had a genuine smile on her face. That was really rewarding."

SGT partner Angelo Ziotas praised Mr. Dreyer as a lawyer who can keep an expert witness in line and get the concessions that he needs, without asking an objectionable question. “He always keeps his head on his shoulders,” Mr. Ziotas said.

The Hartford Business Journal and Law360 also reported on Mr. Dreyer becoming CTLA president.
