Aren’t all lawyers the same?

Absolutely not. We offer a service designed to reduce your stress and maximize your settlement, but how is Petersen Johnson different from the others?

Our first goal is to address your injuries and ensure you receive proper medical treatment.  We can even help to get you in quickly, typically the same day. Any doctor we suggest will wait for payment until after your case settles.  There is no need for a co-payment or funds to meet your deductible.

Secondly, we work to take away your burden and stress.  Because we have over 60 years of experience, many of us have been in your place and walked in your shoes. We’ve been down the same road and have empathy for how you’re feeling.  This enables us to work diligently on your behalf and fight the big, bureaucratic insurance agencies while you concentrate on healing and feeling better.

Finally, we don’t think about month end, quarter end, or year end when it comes to settling your case.  We work to maximize the amount of your settlement in a timely manner.  We are on your side.

Our Fees are Less

Surely you’ve heard and seen advertising for personal injury attorneys announcing that they “won’t get paid until you get paid.” That’s pretty standard in the industry, but what ISN’T standard in the industry is how much Petersen Johnson charges you.

It’s true we work on a contingency fee, which means we only receive payment if we successfully collect for you. However, while most firms in Arizona charge 33.33% of the total sum collected, we only charge 25% if your case does not require litigation (the filing of a lawsuit). Many cases are settled out of court through our negotiations with insurance companies. This not only save you time but impacts your bottom line by putting more money into your pocket due to our reduced fees. This is extra money that you can use for living expenses such as groceries, gas, and personal needs for your family.

We even pay up front to obtain medical records, bills, police reports, and for photocopies and postage so you don’t have to worry about it. This is something you shouldn’t have to worry about, and you won’t. Our fees are calculated on the total sum collected and before these costs are deducted, but they aren’t fees you will need to pay up front.

Because we make it so easy for you, is there really anything stopping you from calling us now?
