SUPER ATTORNEY
Mr. Petri handled a personal injury case for me several years ago. His investigators gathered the relevant evidence within hours after the accident. He fought like a tiger for me, and the insurance company settled shortly after he presented the evidence. Vern and his team did a super job.. I could not have been more satisfied. On another occasion I consulted with him involving a matter related to an estate. He solved my problem quickly, and a his fee was more than reasonable for his professional advice. I also worked for Mr. Petri as an expert witness with respect to economic damages from 1975 to 2005. I can testify that he is one of the best advocates a plaintiff can hire. He will take high risk cases that most other attorneys would not consider taking. By using the investigative skills he developed in the U.S. Army Intelligence Service, I have seen him uncover evidence that resulted in very large settlements and verdicts for his clients. I worked for Mr. Petri on two of those high risk cases that I believe no attorney in America could have done better for his clients. I recommend him without reservations to anyone seeking a plaintiff’s attorney.

Our Hero!!!!!
We Can not explain how blessed we are to have found Mr Petri ! My husband has sustained a lifelong injury due to malpractice. Mr Petri worked extremely hard non stop getting all the evidence he needed to get the case handled. It was constantly evolving with roadbumps from the other end but he never gave up. He always stayed in touch even if it was to just call & see how we were doing. He has a sincere heart for helping people….We are beyond blessed with the outcome… We gained so much more than just a lawyer in Mr Petri. He is our blessing, our Hero!

Thank you, Mr. Petri!
After falling at the casino and breaking my shoulder, I went through weeks and weeks of pain. I contacted Vern because I wanted the casino to be held liable. Vern immediately sent me to a specialist, and that doctor was able to help me more with my pain than any other doctors I saw before that! Vern also sued the company at fault and I am really satisfied with the outcome. The case was quick, and Mr. Petri handled it very professionally. I’ve had other attorneys before for other legal issues, but Vern was by far the best one. I was impressed that he was willing to help solve my medical problems as well as my legal problems. Thank you, Mr. Petri!
