Today, we pause to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty deserve more than a passing thought. They deserve our remembrance, our gratitude, and our continued commitment to the freedoms they defended.

To our family, clients, friends, and community members who have served, and to the families who carry the loss of those who never came home, we salute you with deep respect.

We honor the fallen. We remember their sacrifice. We salute all who have served.

Today, one of our clients did something that takes real courage. 💙

John Paganini — the man at the heart of a landmark case now before the Ohio Supreme Court — traveled to Columbus today to testify before the Ohio Senate in support of S.B. 292.

This bill would raise Ohio’s caps on what patients harmed by medical malpractice can recover for pain, suffering, and permanent loss of quality of life. These caps were set years ago and have never been adjusted for inflation. For people like John, the gap between what the law allows and what true justice demands is immense.

The Ohio Supreme Court heard arguments in John’s case against the Cataract Eye Center of Cleveland this past February. We are waiting on their decision. But John isn’t simply waiting — he is fighting on every front available to him, and doing it with a grace and determination that humbles everyone around him.

We were proud to stand beside him at the Statehouse today. 🏛️

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when someone transforms profound personal suffering into purpose — this is it.

Please share this if you believe every person harmed by a medical provider deserves full and fair justice — not a number a decades-old cap decided their suffering was worth.

Have you ever stopped to think how much you trust the products you use every day?

From tires and vehicles to household equipment, safety is expected. When a product is defective or improperly designed, that trust is broken and serious injuries can follow.

Product liability law exists to hold manufacturers accountable and to make products safer for everyone.

If you’ve been harmed, we’re here to listen, answer your questions, and help you move forward.

The office is quiet.
A screen filled with medical records.
Thousands of pages of notes, reports, and timestamps.

This is the part of the work most people never see.

Long before a case reaches a courtroom, there are hours spent reviewing records, consulting with experts, and asking the same question again and again: what really happened?

Serious injury and medical malpractice cases are built one detail at a time. Preparation is what brings the truth into focus.

At Petersen & Petersen, this is the work behind every case.

Some cases test more than legal arguments.
They test persistence, preparation, and a commitment to uncovering the truth.

After years of litigation, extensive discovery, and a nearly 20-hour virtual inspection of medical records, critical evidence was uncovered - hundreds of pages that had not been produced, including documentation that changed the course of the case.

The court found that Summa Health had withheld evidence and issued sanctions. Additional proceedings followed.

In the end, $221,983.98 was recovered as a direct result of that misconduct, tied to years of obstruction and failure to produce records.

Cases like this are not about moments in a courtroom.
They're built piece by piece, detail by detail, through careful, disciplined work.

At Petersen & Petersen, that work is what defines the outcome.

“Are you with me?”

It’s a question Jeremy Burnside asked Susan many times.
Not for agreement, but for conviction.

Some people leave a lasting impact not just through what they achieve, but through how they show up - for their clients, their colleagues, and the profession itself.

When you watch this video clip you understand that Jeremy was one of those people. His influence continues to shape this profession even after his passing.

He asked hard questions.
He challenged the room.
And he stayed true to who he was—especially when it wasn’t the easy path or the popular one.

That’s the kind of leadership that stays with you.

Susan doesn’t have a photo with Jeremy.

But she has this.

The day Petersen & Petersen opened, a beautiful arrangement arrived at the door—with a handwritten note from him.

"Congrats on the new digs."
She kept that card.

Not because of the gesture, but because of what it represented:
Encouragement at the right moment.
A reminder to stay the course.
A standard to live up to.

Recently, following a sanctions award related to the withholding of critical evidence in a medical case, Petersen & Petersen made a $40,000 matching contribution to the Jeremy Burnside Scholarship Fund.

That contribution was made on behalf of trial lawyers Chris Patno and Dustin Herman, who stepped forward as experts and refused payment—choosing principle over compensation.

With the support of others, that commitment became $80,000.

Now an evergreen scholarship fund in honor of Jeremy’s memory.

An investment in future lawyers who will have to make the same choice:

What’s easy, or what’s right.

Some legacies are built in courtrooms.

Others are carried forward in decisions like these.
