GREAT Attorney!

I spoke with several attorneys prior to hiring Mr. Petri. Wow, I'm sure glad I selected him and his team. They did a great job and I feel I was very fairly compensated for my medical malpractice injury.

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!

FAQs

What are your fees?

We do not charge clients unless we are able to recover a settlement on your behalf. If we recover a settlement, we charge 33% in addition to any expenses we incurred during the litigation process.

What’s my case worth?

It can be very challenging to know where to start after getting injured. Hiring an experienced attorney to negotiate with insurance companies or to file a lawsuit on your behalf is a great first step. The sooner, the better, otherwise your statute of limitations can run out time.

What is a statute of limitations?

Under Indiana law, a claim must be filed within two (2) years of the negligent act you complained about, or it will be forever barred. However, there are exceptions where the attorney has to decide during the consultation.
