Peter J. Neufeld[1] (born July 17, 1950) is an American attorney, co-founder, with Barry Scheck of the Innocence Project,[2] and a founding partner in the civil rights law firm Neufeld Scheck & Brustin.[3] Starting from his earliest years as an attorney representing clients at New York's Legal Aid Society, and teaching trial advocacy at Fordham School of Law from 1988 to 1991, he has focused on civil rights and the intersection of science and criminal justice.[4][5][6][7]

Neufeld joined the Simpson defense team to assist with undermining the prosecution's DNA and forensic evidence. He is perhaps best known for discrediting the credibility of the blood trail between Nicole Brown Simpson's body and O. J. Simpson's car.
