Meet Tom

Omaha DUI Attorney

Thomas M. Petersen grew up in Spokane, Washington. By the age of 16, Tom felt compelled to pursue a law career. Two years later, he secured a clerking job with a Spokane law firm. That same year, by the encouragement of his employer, he started Petersen Process Service, a one person legal processing and filing business. A year later, Tom enrolled in Eastern Washington University. He graduated in 1990 with a bachelors degree in Political Science.

In 1991, Tom began his legal training at Creighton University’s School of Law in Omaha, Nebraska. Three years later, Tom received his Juris Doctorate, and graduated Cum Laude from Creighton. Tom was a member of, and the Parliamentarian of, Phi Delta Phi, America’s oldest legal fraternity.

Today, Tom continues to further sharpen his skills by attending law seminars and networking with other members in the legal field. He was recently selected as one of the top 50 DUI attorneys in Nebraska based on trial skill, formal DUI training, jury trial experience as well as peer and client reviews.
