Our mission is alway to provide quality legal services to people who have been injured in accidents as a result of the negligence of another individual/business or who are up against the criminal justice system. While our mission may sound basic, "providing quality legal services" does mean a lot to us. When we formed Petersen Johnson, we strived to make the sometimes difficult and frustrating legal process as simple and "human" as possible.

WARNING: Since the downturn in the economy, insurance companies have been attempting to take advantage of unrepresented accident injury victims. Shortly after an accident (sometimes even at the accident scene), insurance adjusters have been offering injured victims a nominal amount of compensation before their injuries have been properly assessed and treated by a medical provider. Do not be duped by the insurance industry. Not addressing your injuries immediately, whether minor or major, may have a negative lasting impact on your life for many years to come. Please do not jeopardize your health and sign away your legal rights. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, call Petersen Johnson today for a free initial consultation.
