About Todd C. Barsumian

Litigation Attorney Helping Individuals and Businesses in the Evansville, Indiana area.

Todd C. Barsumian was selected by Indiana Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in 2009, 2011 and 2012. The Rising Star designation is an honor bestowed on no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the State of Indiana by their peers. Also in 2012, Todd was selected to The National Trial Lawyers Association: Top 40 under 40 for the State of Indiana.

After spending 12 years at the Evansville law firm of Kahn, Dees, Donovan & Kahn, LLP, where he was a litigation partner, he established Barsumian Law in 2010.

Todd has an exceptionally wide range of litigation experience. He successfully represented a severely injured child in a negligence and product liability case that prompted a national recall of a product purchased off the shelf of a Tri-State retailer. He has also defended corporations in similar cases and counseled manufacturers on product safety and recall issues. His knowledge of both sides in evaluating cases is a valuable asset for clients.

In addition to personal injury and product liability, his litigation experience includes cases of commercial and semi truck accidents, unfair business competition, misuse of trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks and domain names, breach of contract and even a fraud claim involving the authenticity of marginal notations claimed to have been made by Leonardo da Vinci. In 2011 Todd obtained a six figure negligence and nuisance jury verdict and judgement on behalf of a local manufacturer in an 8-day jury trial against a municipality and its water and sewer utility for damages sustained by the manufacturer arising out of flooding caused by a poorly maintained creek channel.

Todd is a former board member of the Defense Trial Counsel of Indiana, 2008-2010, and was Chair of the Defense Trial Counsel of Indiana Product Liability Section in 2007.

Todd is experienced with the concerns of both sides, which helps him approach a case slightly differently than others might. He is a registered mediator in Indiana and embraces alternative dispute resolution when it is in his client's interest.

Hired Attorney

Todd has helped me out so much when I really needed it, & anytime I had a question or concern he was easily reachable. He is very down to earth, a great person, & a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend him for any issue you need help with, & if I have any future occurrences where I need to be represented, he will definitely be the lawyer I choose.

Hired Attorney

As stated above, Mr. Barsumian was EXCELLENT in representing us. His fees were more than reasonable and very well detailed. He selected the best route so that the particular lawsuit did not go before the courts, which would have been very costly. We stated our case and how we wanted it to be resolved and he delivered. We were a 3rd party defendant. I would select Todd over anyone else in the Evansville area again, if we ever needed legal representation.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
