About Peter C
Peter C Rageas is an attorney admitted to practice in Arizona and Michigan. He built a foundation in numbers before turning to law. He earned a Bachelor of Science in accounting from Wayne State University in 1985, a Master of Science in Taxation from Walsh College in 1990, and a J.D. from Michigan State University College of Law in 1993. Those credentials shape how he approaches legal problems.
His early academic path followed a straight line from accounting into tax and then into law. The combination of a bookkeeping mindset, graduate training in taxation and a law degree gives him a technical perspective that many clients find useful. He has applied that background to matters where tax rules and business decisions intersect.
Rageas has held professional memberships since the mid-1990s. He joined the American Association of Lawyer-CPAs in 1994 and remains a member. He also joined the Dearborn Bar Association in 1994 and continues his involvement there. Those affiliations keep him connected to peers in both the legal and tax communities.
Over the years he has worked across areas that draw on accounting and tax expertise. He counsels individuals and businesses on tax planning, compliance and transactional questions. He also assists clients who need an attorney who understands financial statements, tax returns and the practical implications of tax law. He tends to take a methodical approach, explaining complex rules in clear terms and translating technical points into actionable advice.
Colleagues describe him as someone who prefers the details. He spends time on numbers and on the law. That style suits engagements where small differences in calculation or interpretation can change an outcome.
He maintains active admissions in both Michigan and Arizona and stays involved in local and national professional groups. He balances legal work with ongoing attention to developments in tax law and accounting practice. He currently focuses his practice on tax and business law matters in Arizona and Michigan.
