For more than 25 years, Pete Marketos has followed the same ethos: trying the most consequential cases before juries and judges. A Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, he has won jury trials in courts across the country, securing some of the largest judgments in the nation.
Pete has been repeatedly recognized for his courtroom advocacy. After a six-week federal jury trial in which his client prevailed in a $20 million cyber fraud claim, the federal judge wrote that Pete is “one of the finest trial lawyers to appear in my court.”
In 2025, Pete and his partner Josh Russ received the Winning Plaintiff Litigators of the Year award from the National Law Journal and the MVP Award for Trials from Law360. Most recently, they were named to Bloomberg Law’s 2026 “Unrivaled” list.
Pete has won trials involving damages claims ranging from tens of millions of dollars to multiple billions, including False Claims Act whistleblower cases, bet-the-company commercial litigation disputes, and government enforcement actions.
In the past five years alone, Pete has won trials before juries and judges in Texas, California, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Over the same period, Pete has prevailed in Delaware Chancery Court, the Texas Business Court, and the Supreme Court of Texas.
