About Todd V.
Todd V. Peterson built a career rooted in Minnesota courts and courtroom practice. He completed undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota — Twin Cities, earning a B.A. in 1989. He then earned his J.D. from William Mitchell College of Law in 1994 and entered legal practice in the state.
After law school, Peterson established himself in criminal law. Over the years he pursued specialized credentialing and holds the Certified Criminal Law Specialist designation from the Minnesota State Bar Association. That certification marks a sustained emphasis on criminal defense and an involvement in the state’s legal community.
Peterson’s work has been concentrated in Minnesota. He represents clients facing a range of criminal charges in state courts and provides advice on procedural and substantive aspects of criminal litigation. He handles matters at trial and on appeal, and he has experience guiding clients through pretrial negotiations and post-conviction options.
His professional life includes participation in bar and legal organizations. He maintains current professional memberships and engages with peers in the state’s legal community. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in the courtroom and direct in client interactions. He tends to prioritize clear explanations of legal options and the likely outcomes clients can expect.
Peterson practices from a small office environment. He operates under the firm name Todd Peterson PA, where he manages daily client work, court appearances, and case preparation. The office structure allows him to remain involved in each phase of litigation and to make prompt decisions on strategy.
Outside the courtroom he has stayed connected to developments in criminal law, following legislative changes and case law that affect practice in Minnesota. That attention to change helps inform his representation and his advice to clients about risks and possible defenses.
After more than two decades in practice since earning his J.D., Peterson continues to concentrate on criminal matters. He currently focuses his practice on representing individuals charged with criminal offenses and advising them on defense strategies and court procedure.
