I have been practicing law for over two decades. Most of my clients are husbands and fathers in divorce and custody cases. I enjoy protecting husbands from overreaching exes, and I love winning custody cases for dedicated fathers. I have expericence as an attorney, a mediator, and a Judge Pro Tempore, and I will use that expereince to help you achieve your goals. I also am very experienced with consumer and small business bankruptcy cases. I have handled a wide range of cases under chaptes 7, 11, and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. My goal is to protect you from an adversary who is out to get you -- whether that be an ex or a creditor. Call me so that we can discuss your situation in detail and figure out a good plan of action.

I have been practicing law for over 17 years and have been a criminal defense attorney for 14 years. I am licensed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Minnesota, and Utah. I have my Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree in Psychology. I graduated with my Master’s from Northern Arizona University in 1998, worked for Northern Arizona Counsel of Governments (“NACOG”) for a year and then pursued my law degree at the University of Minnesota, where I graduated in 2004. I then returned to the State of Arizona, which I consider my home away from “home” (Colorado, where she was raised).. I always wanted to be an attorney since I can remember.  I enjoy helping people, and I have the background to empathize with people, while at the same time being open and honest with clients about their situation. I am also persistent and aggressive with my representation and will do all I can to help people overcome their legal troubles.

I have been practicing law for more than 20 years.  My practice is primarily concentrated in the areas of Family Law and Civil Litigation, including Divorce, Legal Separation, Paternity, Child Custody, Child Support, Alimony (Spousal Maintenance), Prenuptial Agreements, Adoptions, Terminations of Rights, Modifications of Custody and Support, Same-Sex Rights, Name Changes, Orders of Protection, Wills & Trusts and Contract Litigation.

I have been practicing injury law for over  30 years.  I began my career and spent 10 years working in defense for the biggest insurance companies in the industry.  I moved on to become Assistant Attorney General for the State of Arizona, working on complex highway litigation cases.  In 2005 I realized my true passion was in representing those actually injured in accidents.  I spent 4 years working with one of the largest injury firms in the valley until I opened my own practice in 2009.. My experience working in insurance defense and as the Assistant Attorney General for Arizona has given me an extremely unique set of skills to use for the benefit of my clients today.  I believe in fighting aggressively and uncovering every detail for my clients to get them every cent of compensation they deserve.

I have been practicing in Phoenix since 1982, initially working exclusively for insurance companies - either defending their insureds in personal injury cases or defending the insurers themselves in coverage situations or against bad faith claims. After several years I took on a few plaintiffs and then, by word of mouth referrals from clients, my plaintiff's practice began to grow and eventually left little time for defense work. My practice is now split about equally.. My experience from both sides gives me a unique perspective, and one that I believe is very beneficial to clients. I have purposefully remained in a small firm so that your contact is either directly with me or another lawyer with no less than 7 years of experience - your case is not shuffled off to some new associate for "training" purposes.. We don't advertise, and we don't brag - we just work hard for our clients to get them everything they deserve.

I have been practicing family law for over 14 years.  I have volunteered my time at Divorce Care 4 Kids (Christian based peer counseling for children) and domestic violence shelters along with acting as a judge pro tem and over seeing family law cases.  I also started a company called ProperComm that edits emails and text messages between high conflict parents. Go to for more informatoin.. I am happily married to former Judge Steve Sheldon.. On thing that sets me apart from many divorce lawyers is that I am divorced with children.  I share custody.  I understand how difficult the divorce and the process of divorce can be for people.. I have been a speaker for AFCC and the Arizona State Bar Association.

I have been practicing environmental law in Arizona and throughout the Southwest with an emphasis on water quality, water rights, environmental compliance auditing, solid and hazardous waste, mining and mined land reclamation and remediation, toxic substances and Superfund matters for the past 30 years. I have a nationally-recognized water quality practice and I work closely with my clients on federal, state, and local levels to develop workable strategies to promote development and expansion of both industrial and mining operations. I participate activitely as a member of the Arizona Mining Association Water Quality Subcommittee (I currently serve as the vice-chair of that subcommittee).  I also serve as the co-chair of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry Water Quality Subcommittee (formerly the Arizona Association of Industries Water Quality Subcommittee), a position I have filled since 2001.

I have been practicing criminal defense law in Arizona for approximately 40 years. From 1985 until August, 2012, I was a certified criminal law specialist.  It was my choice not to re-apply for certification, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was that after all these years, if I don't know what I'm doing, being "certified" isn't going to change that.. My practice is almost exclusively in state superior courts and some lower level courts (city, justice of the peace).  It also consists of considerable experience in appeals and post-conviction relief (called "Rule 32s" in Arizona).. After practicing in my home state of New York for several years, my husband and I returned to Arizona, where we'd both attended law school (in Tucson).  Initially, I clerked for the now deceased Justice Jack D.H. Hays of the Arizona Supreme Court.  That was followed by a stint as a staff attorney for that court, under the tutelage of the Hon. Sarah Grant, then the Chief Staff Attorney and now a retired Court of Appeals judge.  These experiences made me a better trial lawyer and a much better appellate lawyer.. When I went into private practice, I worked for John J. Flynn, one of the attorneys responsible for the Miranda v. Arizona decision. Unfortunately, I did not work for John for long when he had a massive heart attack and died.  I finished up some of the work he'd left, then went to work for another distinguished criminal defense attorney in Phoenix, Thomas A. Thinnes (deceased).  After approximately eight years with Tom, I went out on my own.  However, I learned a great deal from Tom, who was a good friend and superior mentor.. I have had many mentors among some of the senior attorneys here in Arizona (although I am one myself now).  Among the many were Craig Mehrens, Jordan Green, Tom Karas (deceased)  and Phil Goldstein (deceased).  All of them taught me a great deal about being a good and honest lawyer.. My job, as a criminal defense lawyer, is seeing to it that the state and all its agents "play" fairly, and that they honor the Constitutions of the United States and Arizona by seeing to it that justice is done in each individual case.  In doing that, I not only help my clients, but all citizens.  Once the state plays unfairly, it will not stop with just one person, but will extend to anyone brought into the criminal justice system.. Both my children are grown and on their own.  For entertainment, I have  been a season ticket holder with the WNBA team here in Phoenix (the Mercury) for 15 years.  I have also become an avid fan of women's NCAA basketball, and watch as much as I am able in between everything else I do.  It is great fun to watch the young women in the NCAA grow and mature for four years, then often go on to play for teams in the WNBA.  Title IX was not available to my generation, but it has made all the difference in the world to these young ladies.. If you or someone you love is in trouble with the law, please do not hesitate to call me for a free one hour consultation.  We will decide together if I am the right attorney for your needs.  If I am not the right attorney for you, I will refer you to others that might better supply counsel for your particular case.. I do not handle DUIs, for they are a sub-specialty which requires a keen knowledge of the laws and how frequently they change.  I also will not handle a homicide where the state is asking for the death penalty.  I am adamantly opposed to the death penaly, and will not assist the state in its endeavor to kill its citizens.  Beyond those two areas, I am ready, willing and able to assist you in your quest for justice within the system.. Eleanor L. Miller

I have been helping clients for over 30 years resolve their legal problems, often complex and difficult matters.  I have extensive trial experience in both Arizona and Michigan at the federal and state level.  I am a skilled negotiator and have been successful in settling many cases without the need for trial, saving the client both time and expense.  I would be happy to consult with you about your legal problem.  The initial consultation is free.

I have been engaged in the practice of law for over 20 years, advocating for the interests of injured persons and victims during the entirety of that time. I graduated from The University of New Mexico in Albuquerque with Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1989, after which time I graduated from the University of Iowa with a Masters of Arts Degree in 1993. Following graduate school, I attended Marquette University Law School in Milwaukee, WI, receiving the Juris Doctor (J.D.) law degree in 1997. I first practiced law in New Mexico and have been actively engaged in the private practice of law in Phoenix since 2003. Currently, I hold law licenses in three states: New Mexico, Wisconsin and Arizona. I am also licensed to practice law in Federal District Court for the District of Arizona.Douglas Loefgren. My time spent as a prosecutor allowed me to assist crime victims and to gain a wealth of legal knowledge. After prosecution, I had the privilege of working for a very prestigious valley firm in the field of personal injury law. Combining my civil and criminal experience, I have first-chaired three dozen jury trials, far more trials than most lawyers conduct in their entire career. Currently, I am accepting clients who received injuries from automobile collisions, and those that have uninsured and under-insured motorist claims and insurance disputes. I also handle cases involving injuries from dog bites, premises liability claims, wrongful death claims, and the like. I look forward to the opportunity of putting my experience and knowledge to work for you.

I have a passion for helping small businesses and individuals figure out interesting legal problems and get practical results. I also find great value in helping those who have been injured to regain something of what they have lost. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading widely, being active in my church, and spending time with my family.

I have a civil litigation practice involving primarily personal injury, insurance and commercial disputes. I also have a very active ADR practice averaging 180-200 private mediatins and arbitrations annually. I am a certified specialist in personal injury and wrongful dealth litigation.

I have 22 years of experience as an attorney, the last 20 of which has been in the field of plaintiff's personal injury law. I have handled both simple and complex cases, ranging from soft tissue injuries motor vehicle accidents to catastrophic injuries and death cases arising from many different types of from accidents and defective products. I am equally comfortable in and out of the courtroom. I treat my clients with respect and compassion. I treat my opponents with respect and professionalism. Such conduct has led to many personal referrals from colleagues, opponents, past clients, and friends. I've gotten many referrals from clients whose cases I had handled more than ten years prior. In addition to a law degree, I also have a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice/Corrections and a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. Before attending law school, I spent 12 years working in social services, where I worked primarily with at-risk youth, homeless adolescents and families, and in job counseling/placement and training programs for indigent adults. I believe that my prior experience gives me an insight into relating to injured victims and how their lives can be affected on so many levels.

I grew up in a construction family in the Midwest.  Several generations of my family are involved in the construction industry and as a result I started working in construction, surveying, and engineering when I was in grade school.  This has given me a unique perspective on the practical issues in construction, design, and environmental matters.. As a civil engineer I designed hydroelectric dams, tunnels, water treatment plants, and navigation facilities, and conducted construction site supervision of the Chicago Tunnel and Reservoir Plan and Chicago Freight Tunnel.  For instance, I was one of the original conceptual designers of the civil engineering portions of the Montgomery Point Lock and Dam, which after it was completed, was named 2007's most impressive engineering achievement in the nation with the "Grand Conceptor Award".  The Tunnel and Reservoir Plan better known as the Deep Tunnel is one of the largest civil engineering projects ever undertaken and has received numerous awards.  The awards include being named as the most significant public works project in Illinois of the 20th century, and it was named by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency as one of the nation's top Clean Water Act success stories and is serving as a model urban water management tool worldwide.  The picture above is me in the deep tunnel - 330' below the ground.. I love being a lawyer, husband and a father.  I have the privilege of working at a fantastic law firm and working with great clients.  I am very interested and involved in legal issues related to technology including the emerging areas of renewable energy, environmental issues related to biotechnology, greenhouse gas and climate change, and the combination of environmentally friendly and sustainable construction.

I graduated from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University completing the Health Law certification program. I completed my undergraduate studies at the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona and graduated cum laude. My approach to the practice of law begins and ends with careful attention to client needs with an eye toward the most efficient and creative use of resources.

I focus on advising and working with companies and individuals to achieve their business goals. I strive to provide quality representation and provide my clients with reliable solutions. I offer various levels of service to meet my client’s needs at affordable rates. With a business administration background, I understand that running a business requires sound economic decisions that comply with the law.. The economy is ever-growing and changing. You need an attorney that is there with you. An attorney that will provide you with advice to ensure your business is booming.. I handle all aspects of trademark law, including clearance, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement, and licensing. I have represented hundreds of clients and filed over 200 trademark applications with the USPTO.. I also provide quality advice for employers and business owners to comply with the labor and employment laws and keep them abreast of changes to both state and federal regulations and statutes. I help companies with employee discipline and termination, responding to retaliation claims, and train on compliance.

I enjoy helping my clients navigate all aspects of planning their estates and helping them administer the estates of their loved ones. My clients typically begin as "clients" and end up as "friends." I cannot envision a more satisfying area of the law in which to practice. I conduct my practice from my home-office in Phoenix, Arizona.

I believe every person charged with a sex crime should be provided with high-quality legal representation. Such representation cannot be received unless you retain an experienced sex crimes litigator. This means an attorney who has attended the most advanced sex crimes trainings offered in this country, and it means an attorney who has significant experience in the courtroom defending clients facing sex crimes allegations, charges and punishments.. I have been a defense attorney my entire thirty-year legal career and I have concentrated my practice on representing persons charged with sex crimes for the past sixteen years. I have routinely attended the most advanced national legal trainings pertaining to sex crimes defense, like the A.T.S.A.’s Annual Conference and N.A.C.D.L.s Annual Defending Sex Crimes Conference.. Additionally, for over a decade I have taught a great number of continuing legal education courses on sex crimes defense practice and procedure to hundreds of other lawyers throughout the state of Arizona. Numerous criminal defense attorneys from Arizona and other states have sought my advice on sex crimes litigation issues concerning their clients. I have also retained as an expert witness on a number of issues pertaining to Arizona Sex Crimes law and practice..

Before you talk to any one else about sex crimes allegations, exercise your right to remain silent and contact me, Jerald J. Schreck, Arizona's Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer, at the Schreck Law Firm, so that your rights are protected

I am your neighborhood attorney.  I have been in practice since 2000, in Arizona since 2004.  My experience includes the United States Marine Corps, large firms, and small firms, but I began my solo practice in 2011 because the only people I like to work for are my clients.  I am a single parent who successfully fought for equal time with my then-young and now-qadult daughter.  I have extensive trial and appellate experience and cannot wait to help you with your legal problems.

I am very much a person who wants to help people.  Taking on a defendant in a large case can be overwhelmingly frustrating and difficult unless you're properly represented. My personal commitment toovercoming those challenges and frustrations has helped me create a unique practice - a boutique litigation firm focusing on serious personal injury and wrongful death.  In my twenty years of practice I have developed the skill set and resources to handle the larger, more complex cases.

I am the owner of Saavedra Law Firm, PLC. Our practice focuses on personal injury, wrongful death, motorcycle and trucking accidents with an emphasis on our clients and their interests.. With personal injury cases we are willing to go into litigation when our clients are treated unfairly or not compensated justly.

I am passionate about vindicating people's rights, whether in closely-held business disputes (aka, "business divorces"), aviation, personal injury/wrongful death, or intellectual property litigation (including patents).  I am down to earth, yet I understand and can communicate about even highly-technical subjects.  I practice with utmost integrity and respect for my clients.  I'm not here to make my career off of your case -- I am here to solve your problem as efficiently as possible with your full input.  I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your case with you..

I am passionate about helping clients achieve their goals.. I have over 20 years of experience in law and business. My practice focuses on two areas: (1) helping injured people seek justice, and (2) business/real estate transactions. I have personal experience in both areas -- my first plaintiffs' personal injury case was my own, and I've owned several businesses.  Having a broad range of experiences and skills helps me better understand client needs, as well as to find and obtain creative, common sense, pragmatic and successful solutions to client problems.. I see myself as a holistic lawyer. What I mean is that your legal situation is usually only one part of the puzzle, and there can be other things you have to consider. When looking for the best outcome, you can’t pretend the other pieces of the puzzle don’t exist.. In my "free time", I enjoy yoga, meditation, bicycling, tennis, scuba diving, travel and playing the piano.

I am originally from a small town in Illinois, but gravitated to the "big city" for college and law school.  I attended North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, and The John Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois.  The story goes, that I have wanted to be a lawyer since the 5th grade.. After visiting the valley several times, my husband and I moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 2006.  I have three beautiful children that keep me on my toes.  When I do have spare time, I enjoy reading, running, and golfing..
