After spending 12 years at a large Evansville business and insurance defense firm, where he was a litigation partner, he established his own law firm in 2010.

I have known Todd for many years. He has a unique perspective since he started out doing defense work and then transitioned to representing injured parties. I love Todd's tenacity. He drills down on cases and leaves no stone unturned.

Todd was professional, courteous, expeditious, and straight to the point! I am totally satisfied with his performance on my case... Would recommend him to anyone that was in a similar predicament as I was involved in... Thanks Todd

Lawsuit Results Favorable
Without going into detail, Todd was recommended when it was determined our current lawyer had a conflict of interest in the lawsuit. We were counter-sued by a third-party when they were sued by the initial plaintiff. Todd reviewed our case and we went to arbitration instead of going through a long drawn out trial. After a full day of arbitration where Todd represented our interests, the results were very favorable for us. The initial lawsuit claimed over $8,000 in services had not been paid and the plaintiff wanted to be paid. As a result of Todd's arbitration skills, we paid $1,000 and received additional services from the plaintiff. The only unfortunate claim I can make is we had to pay a third of the arbitration fees and we had to pay for Todd for a lawsuit that we should have never been involved in. Both the plaintiff and the primary defendant were both corrupt and the lawsuit against us was unnecessary. We could have taken it to court and sued both of them and with Todd's expertise WON but we decided to get this behind us and move on. We would highly RECOMMEND Todd Barsumian.

Credible, Competitive, Assured, Effective Counsel!
My son was involved in a personal injury accident involving multiple parties. We live out of state and Mr. Barsumian graciously accepted the case after the need to change counsel presented itself, thus coming in midway. This cannot be easy for any lawyer. Once this change was made the case became a different experience for us. Time, attention, focus, honesty, willingness.... these were all offered for the first time. His office is extremely easy to work with and we always felt my son's best interest was the primary goal. He went beyond the scope to investigate certain details that ended up being crucial, that had been missed by all others who had worked on this case prior. It is not possible to give a high enough commendation to him. We could not have asked for more capable hands to be in. If a reason to need counsel presents itself in the future, we will have to look no further than his office. If you are reading this review, you have found your lawyer!

Excellent Lawyer!
Todd worked on a personal injury case for my family, walking us through all the legal jargon and process. We were very worried about everything, and his personal style and professionalism helped us through an extremely difficult time. Todd's integrity is beyond reproach.
