About Peter M.
Peter M. King brings a background in accounting to a long career in legal work. He completed undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois—Chicago, earning a B.S. in 1978. He continued his education at the Illinois Institute of Technology, finishing a program there in 1982. Those academic steps preceded a career that crosses the boundary between numbers and law.
King is a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Illinois. The CPA credential has remained a throughline in his work. It informs how he approaches financial records, expert reports, and complex economic issues that arise in litigation and transactions. He also holds current membership in professional associations relevant to his practice.
His professional life has been tied to the firm King & Jones, where he has worked on matters that often require both legal judgment and accounting analysis. Colleagues describe him as someone who pays close attention to the figures as well as the statutes. He has been involved in engagements where careful review of financial statements and regulatory requirements shaped legal strategy.
Clients and other lawyers have turned to him for cases that present overlapping technical and legal questions. He has handled matters that involve forensic accounting, contract disputes with significant monetary issues, and regulatory compliance where financial transparency matters. His approach tends to be methodical. He breaks complex information into parts that are easier to evaluate. He also places emphasis on clear explanations so nontechnical clients can follow the core issues.
At present he practices at King & Jones. His work continues to center on matters where accounting and legal analysis intersect. He maintains his CPA credential and stays active in professional networks that touch on both disciplines. He currently concentrates his practice on cases and advisory matters that involve financial, transactional, and compliance issues.
