Petersen & Petersen is a Leading Ohio Personal Injury Firm with Dedicated Service that Gets Results

We are trial lawyers.  We protect the people, not the powerful.  Trials are what we do.  Period.

We’ve spent decades demonstrating we are the type of attorneys ready to take cases to trial to get the justice our clients deserve.  When it comes to protecting the rights of our clients, we let nothing stand in our way — even when it means taking on powerful billion dollar national corporations or health care conglomerates.

We encourage one another to try cases to get fair and just results.  Our results tell all.  We have obtained record-breaking verdicts and settlements in areas such as gas explosion negligence and automobile injury with total personal injury recoveries exceeding $51,000,000 since just 2015.   Our success shows not just in results, but reputation.

With a combined 40 years of experience, we’ve established ourselves as great trial lawyers, seen as true adversaries by defense attorneys and insurance providers alike.  We’ve held prominent roles in bar associations around the State of Ohio, been honored in business and legal publications with numerous accolades –

including esteemed titles like “Super Lawyer,” “10/10” or the AV Rating, which indicates the highest level of professional excellence obtained only through peer review.

At Petersen & Petersen, we take great pride in the fact that we never represent insurance companies, hospitals or other large corporations.  Our practice is limited to the representation of everyday people whose rights have been violated, covering a wide range of personal injury and consumer protection cases.  We look forward to learning more about your situation through a no-cost confidential consultation.

    John Doe Company Name

  • I am truly thankful for the diligent and honest work that Todd and Susan put into our case. They never hesitated to begin a several year journey that appeared all consuming. At times it was an uphill battle with insurmountable paperwork and endless depositions. Yet Susan never tired nor gave up. She was a steadfast friend and encourager especially to my mom. Petersen and Petersen changed mom’s life and ours. We are forever grateful for the endless hours they put in and the years of kindness and friendship they gave our family.

  • After being in an auto accident and not getting any results from my attorney, I reached out to Todd Petersen for legal counsel. I am very thankful for his excellent staff and his diligent and honest work. I highly recommend this law firm.

    John Doe Company Name

  • When our family was victimized by a wrongful death due to neglect we initially turned to the larger better known firms you see on television. Unfortunately those firms cherry pick their clientele because they simply aren't interested in working very hard and prefer to lazily trade on their purported reputations (for better or worse). Susan Petersen stepped forward with wisdom, persistence and tenacity and relentlessly championed our cause. She is a winner who is unafraid to fight, research and negotiate in the name of truth and righteousness which eventually allowed our family to move on knowing that justice had been served. I am thankful for for her representation and can't recommend her highly enough.

    John Doe Company Name

  • Susan came to my home where I was bed ridden to discuss my accident and offer me solid legal advice. I was given the opportunity to recoup my medical damages and my loss of work time. Susan was kind and thorough, making me feel like I not only had strong legal support but the kindness and empathy of a good friend. Legal matters can be confusing and stressful. Having someone who treats you like family is priceless. That is what you will have when you reach out to Todd and Susan Petersen.
