Peter Neufeld is an American lawyer and is most famous as a cofounder, with Barry Scheck, of the Innocence Project. He co-authored “Actual Innocence” and “The Innocents”. In 1995 and 2000, he was appointed to serve on the New York State Commission on Forensic Science by then-Governor George Pataki. A partner in the law firm Cochran, Neufeld, and Scheck, he has represented Abner Louima and others who claimed their civil rights were violated by the police or the government.

In May 2006, Earl Washington Jr., a client of Neufeld’s, was awarded $2.25 million after suing the estate of a Virginia State Police investigator. The jury found that the investigator fabricated the confession that caused Washington to be sentenced to death for a 1982 rape and murder.
