Peter Glazer
Peter Glazer started his law career as a deputy district attorney prosecuting criminal cases for Clackamas County. As a deputy DA Peter became known as an aggressive trial lawyer and advocate for victims’ rights. Just two years and a month after he started Peter was giving the closing argument in a murder trial.
In 1982 Peter started his own practice helping individuals and small businesses with civil problems including personal injury, wrongful death, divorce and contract disputes. In 1982 Peter began volunteer work with MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving).
Peter and Steve Maurer joined forces in 1984 and moved their offices to Kruse Way Plaza January 1, 1985, to be the first law firm on Kruse Way. Today there are hundreds of lawyers in firms in Kruse Way offices.
Peter’s legal work is complemented by his involvement in the community, which led, in 2020, to Peter and his wife winning Lake Oswego’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Peter was the 2008 president of the Clackamas County Bar Association and among his activities are Rotary and the Royal Rosarians for which Peter served as the 2008 Prime Minister. Peter’s past community activities include being president of the Rotary Club of Lake Oswego, a Rotary Assistant District Governor, co-chair of his children’s junior high school parent organization, co-chair of the Lake Oswego Lobster Feed and Auction, and a soccer and basketball coach of his children’s teams.
Peter was appointed by four governors (from Gov. Atiyeh to Gov. Kitzhaber) as Chair of the Governor’s Advisory Committee on DUII, a volunteer citizen board dedicated to reducing the terrible problem of drunk driving. When Peter stepped down after 18 years on the committee he took pride in the fact that total traffic fatalities in Oregon had dropped 25 per cent in just the last year of his service. Peter knows there is much still to be done to make our roads safe but he is proud of the accomplishments under his leadership. After he stepped down, Peter was awarded the state’s Crystal Award “for outstanding leadership and dedicated service.”
