Henry Peacor

Henry Peacor is a national trial lawyer who represents the most vulnerable against the most powerful. He is licensed to practice law in California, Iowa and Washington and practices law in other jurisdictions via pro hac vice.

Henry has been trying cases since the beginning of his career.  He is one of the youngest trial lawyers ever to be admitted to The American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), which is an invitation only organization of the finest trial lawyers and judges in America.

Henry was recently recognized as the 2023 Trial Lawyer of the Year for Ventura County.

Henry separates himself from other lawyers by spending quality time with his clients and their families. He believes that this is the only way to truly understand a person’s pain and suffering and what they go through on a daily basis. His ethos is simple: the human story of a person’s injury and how it impacts their life goes far beyond what is contained in medical records and corporate reports. A person is more than just a file number or a piece of paper. By spending time with his clients, Henry is able to become their voice at trial and translate their human losses into language that jurors can understand.

Henry is no stranger to the impact negligence can have on a person’s life. Henry’s father was tragically killed in a rear-end car crash. The magnitude of the loss of his father is difficult to put into words.  Suffice it to say that the memory of his father is something that Henry carries with him and it serves as motivation and a constant reminder of the impact that negligence can have on a person’s life. 

Henry is known for trying and winning tough cases, often on very little notice. He sincerely believes that the fundamental right to a jury trial is what sets our country apart from any other country in the world because real everyday people get to take their heart and soul, their humanity, everything that they are, and make real decisions about the most important things.

Henry’s mission is to continue his service as a trial lawyer and help educate other lawyers who are willing to learn and commit to improving our civil justice system. Henry teaches trial skills alongside Nick Rowley and Courtney Rowley as one of the lead faculty members at the Trial By Human program.
