About Peter W.
Peter W. Schloss earned his B.A. in Criminal Justice and Criminology from the University of Missouri–Kansas City in 1998 and returned to the same campus for law school, receiving his J.D. in 2006. His academic path kept him close to the Midwest legal community and prepared him for both courtroom work and classroom instruction.
He opened his private practice the year he received his law degree, listing the Law Office of Peter W. Schloss as his starting point in 2006. Early in his career he became active in local prosecutorial work, joining the City of Excelsior Springs’ office as an assistant prosecuting lawyer in 2009. That role gave him regular courtroom time and exposure to municipal matters.
By 2015 he had taken on the title of prosecuting lawyer for the City of Excelsior Springs. The municipal role required him to handle cases brought by the city and to advise local officials on enforcement questions. Alongside his municipal work he also accepted a role in legal education, serving as an adjunct professor at CTU in 2010. Students encountered a practitioner’s view of the law in his classroom sessions.
Schloss holds active memberships in the Missouri State Bar and the Clay County Bar Association since 2006, and he joined the Kansas State Bar in 2007. Those memberships reflect routine participation in the bar communities of both states where he is licensed to practice. Over the years he has moved between public and private practice, balancing casework for municipal clients with services for individual and business clients through his own office.
Colleagues describe his career as one that crosses municipal prosecution, private representation, and teaching. He has spent much of his practice in Kansas and Missouri courts, handling matters that arise in city, county, and state settings. He maintains the professional ties that keep him engaged in regional legal developments and in local court calendars.
Today he operates under the name Peter W. Schloss, Lawyer at Law. He continues to serve clients in both Kansas and Missouri, handling matters that include municipal prosecutions and related local legal issues.
