Robert J. DeBry & Associates
Personal Injury Attorney
A seasoned trial attorney with the firm since 2011, Peter Mifflin handles Utah’s most serious cases such as wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and malpractice on a contingency fee basis, so you pay nothing unless he wins.
Peter Mifflin is a personal injury attorney who has been with Robert J. DeBry & Associates since 2011. He brings extensive courtroom experience across bench trials, jury trials, arbitration, mediation, and negotiation, and has secured seven-figure results for the injured Utahns and grieving families he represents.
Peter takes on the cases that matter most: those involving drunk drivers, dangerous infrastructure, corporate negligence, professional misconduct, and abuse. He works not only to recover full compensation but to hold wrongdoers accountable and give families the truth about what happened. He works on a contingency fee basis, so there is nothing to pay unless he wins.
The vast majority of Mr. Mifflin’s best results are subject to confidentiality clauses as a material term of the settlement. As such he is unable to publicly disclose terms of most of his best work. Mr. Mifflin has successfully recovered millions of dollars on behalf of the injured. He has obtained multiple multi-million dollar recoveries. Additionally, he has convinced insurance companies on multiple occasions within the last 5 years to pay his clients amounts in excess of the stated policy limits. Those results are not typical, but they are possible when insurance companies do not make reasonable offers in the first instance.
In early February 2026, Mr. Mifflin obtained a trial result of more than $200,000 where the stated insurance policy limits were only $25,000. The original settlement offer was $10,000. The insurance company paid the judgment. That is not the only time in 2026 where an insurance company has paid Mr. Mifflin’s client more than its stated policy limits.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case depends on its own facts.
Peter earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Idaho College of Law in 2009 and joined Robert J. DeBry & Associates in 2011. In the years since, he has tried and resolved a wide range of injury and wrongful-death cases, obtaining seven-figure judgments and settlements, many of which remain confidential under client agreements.
His breadth of trial experience means he is comfortable taking a case all the way to a jury when that is what it takes, and insurers know it.
For Peter, a case is about more than a check. He pursues accountability so that negligent drivers, companies, and professionals face real consequences, and he makes sure grieving families finally learn the truth about how their loved one was harmed.
Peter pursues cases to impose real consequences and to give grieving families the truth, not just a settlement.

Peter represents families in wrongful-death and catastrophic-injury cases, handling the hardest facts with preparation and compassion.
From everyday crashes to car accidents caused by impaired drivers, Peter builds strong liability cases and pursues every available source of recovery.
Peter handles medical and dental malpractice, premises injuries, and sensitive abuse and assault claims, pressing for accountability where others caused harm.
Utah generally allows four years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, but only two years for wrongful death, and claims against a government entity carry even shorter notice requirements. Because evidence fades and deadlines run from the date of the accident, it pays to talk with an attorney early.
Under Utah’s modified comparative fault rule, an injured person can still recover if they are less than 50 percent at fault, though the award is reduced by their share. Insurers often argue the injured person shares blame, so building strong evidence of the other party’s fault is central to how Peter approaches every case.
Every case starts with a free, no-obligation consultation. Peter reviews what happened, explains how Utah law applies, and lays out your options. From there, the team gathers records and evidence, deals with the insurance company directly, and prepares the case for trial if a fair settlement is not offered.
The firm is licensed in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming and provides statewide representation, with attorneys who travel to injured clients who cannot come to the office. You can meet the rest of the team on the Robert J. DeBry attorneys page.
