Top Personal Injury Lawyers Near Me in Peoria Area

WHEN EXPERIENCE MATTERS! I have been practicing personal injury law for over 19 years. So, experience is what I have. Over those 19 years, I have handled thousands of personal injury victim’s claims and I have recovered millions on behalf of those victims. I am devoted to obtaining the best possible results for my clients. I practice mainly in the northwest valley of Phoenix, in the Peoria, Glendale and Sun City areas and I am willing to handle personal injury cases all over the Valley and anywhere in Arizona.. Before I started DJS Accident Law, I worked for a larger personal injury firm here in Phoenix for the first 19 years of my legal career. This allowed me to gain the much needed knowledge to timely and efficiently handle your personal claim.. I was born in Fort Knox, Kentucky. My father was a career Army officer who flew helicopters. I had the unique opportunity of living in Seoul, South Korea for two years and visiting Japan as a child when my father was on his hardship tour abroad. In 1982, the family moved to Sierra Vista, Arizona where I went to school through high school and where my mother still resides. So, I have some southern Arizona roots.. I received my undergraduate degree in Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a focus in finance from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska in 1994. Creighton University is also where I attended law school receiving my Juris Doctor degree in 1998. I was admitted to practice law in Arizona in 1998 and I am also licensed to practice in the United States Federal District Court of Arizona.. I am married, my wife is a school teacher and my step-daughter is going to attend college this fall. I never had a dog as child or until I met my wife for that matter – now I have a pack of four. I enjoy donating to charities which help protect and support our four-legged friends as they cannot protect themselves. I also enjoy staying in shape by working out and I have successfully completed two marathons and several tough mudder events.. Do not become a victim a second time by dealing directly with an insurance company for your injuries. You need time to recover fully and you do not need the hassle that comes from dealing with an insurance company on your own. Insurance companies rarely pay out what an injury claim is worth without the assistance of legal counsel. When experience matters hire me - I have been around the block more than a few times and I know how to deal with insurance companies.
