Dependable

Jeff has always been the first person I call when I need help with complex legal issues or am otherwise seeking practical advise. He's sharp, responsive and dependable.

Corporate Transactions and Contract Negotiations and Resolutions

Jeff has always done a fantastic job of keeping us up to date on the progress of our corporate transactions along with helping us make sound choices on issues we were not familiar with to protect us personally as well as our corporation. This is in addition to the numerous contract negotiations and ...resolutions he has helped us with throughout the years. I highly recommend his services.

Refreshing

Jeff's been our primary attorney and trusted advisor for nearly ten years, ranging from the day-to-day needs to critical litigation. There are obviously a slew of attorneys to choose from but I encourage you to put Jeff on your shortlist as you'll be pleasantly refreshed by his candidness and smarts....

Someone you want on your team.

Jeff has guided us through a variety of corporate transactions, as well as handling our day-to-day contract work, and has always provided sound advice and detailed follow up. He has become a trusted adviser in helping make sure our legal functions run smoothly.

Wide range of skills

We were starting an ecommerce website and needed some serious hand-holding to navigate design patents, trademark protection, licensing, celebrity endorsement and a host of other issues. Jeff was able to assist us in each and every area including setting up our new LLC. Outstanding work and detail ori...ented.

"Jeff Petersen is an attorney of the highest caliber, and I am glad to have met him a while back. There is some overlap between Jeff's practice and my own, and that affords me the opportunity to refer out work to Jeff in the case of conflicts of interest or when Jeff is just the better attorney for the particular work. I strongly endorse Jeff to anyone seeking an attorney with his skill set."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Mr. Peterson for several years and have had the opportunity to work with him on a legal matter arising out of Indiana and also to consult with him on a daily basis on various other legal issues. When Mr. Peterson is not working or spending time with his family, I also am aware that he cares tremendously about the underprivileged and donates his limited spare time and energy to charitable organizations. He is an excellent attorney, legal mind and advocate for his clients. As importantly, he is kind, generous, honest and a good person. I highly recommend and happily endorse him."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
