James Arnold

The attorneys of Petersen, Parkinson & Arnold, PLLC have a combined 65 years of experience representing people injured on the job or by the fault of other persons or businesses. Each client has access to an attorney and meets with an attorney at the initial consultation. The firm's attorneys make themselves available to clients and are a part of every decision made in each client's case. The firm's legal assistants have years of experience and make themselves readily available to clients. The firm uses their many years of experience to assist their clients to receive medical treatment and the compensation to which they are entitled.

While insurance companies are not in the business of paying, it is my business to do what is necessary to obtain the medical care and monetary compensation you deserve. Since obtaining my license in 1987, I have dedicated my career to helping injured people by protecting their legal rights.

To show my commitment to this mission, I became certified as a Worker’s Compensation Specialist by the Idaho Trial Lawyers Association and the Idaho State Bar Association. I have also been a member of Idaho Industrial Commission Advisory Committee where I represent the interests of injured workers, and appointed as a fellow of the National College of Workers’ Compensation Attorneys. As an active member of the Idaho Trial Lawyers Association, I help promote the preservation and pursuit of the rights of people injured by the actions of other people.

As a native to Idaho, I received my law degree from the University of Idaho and have spent my entire legal career practicing in Idaho. My wife and I have six children and many grandchildren, and enjoy all this great state has to offer.
