The founding partner of Vodola Law, LLC, Peter is a seasoned business and litigation attorney with extensive experience in legal matters involving structured settlements.  For more than 25 years, he has represented clients in matters involving the enforcement of structured settlement protection acts and has secured landmark rulings interpreting such laws in appellate courts in California, Florida, Illinois, and Texas, and at the trial court level in more than a dozen states.  His practice has helped create a body of law concerning the enforcement of many of the consumer protection provisions of structured settlement protection acts.

Peter’s structured settlement work has frequently addressed contractual interpretation of structured settlement agreements, including contract terms addressing transfers of structured settlement payment rights.  Such work is reflected in, among other things, an amicus curiae brief where he argued in support of the party that ultimately prevailed in the notable decision issued by New York’s highest court in Cordero v. Transamerica Annuity Serv. Corp., 39 N.Y.3d 399 (2023) – a decision that adopted some key points from the brief.

Peter has been recognized for his contributions by other structured settlement professionals, such as when he was named as one of the 2020 recipients of the National Structured Settlement Trade Association’s Leadership Award.  He has also authored articles on best-interest standards and the legal framework for structured settlement transfers under state structured settlement protection acts. 

With a background that includes community service and civic board leadership, and a passion for integrity, he brings both legal rigor and a client-first ethos to every matter — making him a strong advocate for attorneys and brokers seeking secure, practical solutions that provide protections to all the parties to structured settlement agreements.
