About Todd

Three years ago, we opened Petersen & Petersen with the idea that every case we accept must be thoroughly developed and prepared with the expectation that we must ultimately be ready for trial.  We do not accept every case, but when we do you can be assured that we will dedicate the time and resources necessary to advance our clients' interests.

Review Todd Petersen

Experience and respect

Posted by

My husband and I recently retained Mr. Petersen for a criminal defense case. Todd was prompt and thorough with communication, respectful of both of our needs, and provided exceptional legal counsel. Todd made an otherwise terrifying ordeal manageable and worked diligently for the best outcome possible. We are forever grateful for his representation and would highly recommend his services.
