After graduating from Thompson Rivers Law in Kamloops, Peter articled at a general civil litigation firm in Victoria where he received broad exposure to the court system. This included disputes over construction contracts, corporate ownership and governance, residential and commercial tenancies, personal injuries, employment, human rights, consumer protection, adult guardianship, real estate, municipal bylaws, police misconduct, sale of goods, civil theft, debt and more.

After practicing in Victoria for a few years, Peter moved to Surrey to be closer to his family and worked at a firm that focused mostly on complex estate litigation. Since becoming a lawyer, Peter has volunteered with Access Pro Bono, providing low-income persons with legal advice in areas not covered by legal aid. Peter believes that legal help and advice should be accessible to everyone, and his most rewarding work has been experimenting with non-traditional legal assistance methods.
