From start to finish of my case he was ...

"I trust Tom Petersen implicitly. I would highly recommend that anyone with criminal legal issues seek out Mr. Petersen's expertise."
"I highly recommend anyone with a client or loved one facing criminal charges to use Tom. His combines a unique combination of zealous advocacy with compassion and empathy."
"I am happy to endorse Tom. My view of his professional and personal skills and abilities is based on my personal experience working closely with him on various legal matters. If you find yourself in need of a competent, experienced DUI or defense attorney to protect you, then you would do well to have Tom in your corner."
