He was admitted to the bar the same year and commenced practice in Lansing and was a law partner with Patrick H. Kelley.

Person served as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives (Ingham County 1st district) from 1915 to 1921 and also served in the Michigan Senate (27th district) from 1927 to 1931.
