was formed by the merger of the law practices of Jerry Petersen and Dennis J. Ibold, in 1980. Since then they have built Petersen & Ibold into one of the largest law firms in Geauga County. In addition, they have added a second office in Ashtabula County to better serve the needs of their growing client base.
Petersen & Ibold established itself as one of Geauga County’s leading law firms by providing outstanding legal advice, representation, and advocacy across a wide range of legal specialties including family law, personal injury, real estate & zoning, criminal defense, wills, probate, estate planning, and elder law, business and corporate, employee representation, worker’s compensation, bankruptcy, school law, and product liability.
We represent individuals, businesses, and government bodies in a broad range of areas. The firm’s practice is based in Geauga County, but its lawyers regularly practice in adjoining counties, Federal Court, Appellate Courts, the Ohio Supreme Court, and before state and federal agencies.
More than just attorneys, our lawyers are committed to helping build a strong community. Members of our firm are former office holders and serve on the Board of Directors of hospitals and banks. In addition, they actively sponsor a variety of community events and community organizations.
Petersen & Ibold is proud to have been awarded an AV-rating under Martindale Hubbell’s Peer Review Rating™ process*, which is the highest possible peer evaluation rating for competency and ethics. This rating was awarded based upon confidential peer evaluations. Some of our lawyers have been named Superlawyers by Law & Politics Magazine.
