Peter tends to believe what his clients tell him, much to his wife's dismay. Although he will hire outside help to investigate matters where his clients are concefrned, Peter will investigate stuff personally as well; remember, he used to be a Chinese-American beat cop. Peter works for SL Legal Services. (SL = "Shining Light" but so many people thought they were a street mission or religious group that now they are just SL Legal Services.) It is an underfunded storefront legal group who dedicate themselves to take on minority cases and poor people; the ones who most often get screwed by The System. Their office is near the corner of Eldrige and Canal.
As a former cop of Chinese-American decent he is not rattled easily. He concealed-carries a Kel-Tec PF-9 7-round 9mm pistol; it is regarded as the lightest and flatest 9mm pistol made today. His is unique because it has a Parkerized finish combined with olive drab handgrips.
