Top best Personal Injury Lawyers Near me in ZIP 85016

I not only help my clients achieve fair and full compensation for catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims, but I also try to transform those  tragedies into constructive change to prevent similar disasters in the future. That is because I believe as a lawyer it is important to be a positive influence in my community.  So my work doesn’t start with a lawsuit any more than it ends with a settlement or verdict.. Catastrophic personal injuries and wrongful death can impact the whole structure of a client’s life, not just finances. I help people who have suffered unthinkable tragedy, but my work goes well beyond financial compensation. I feel a social obligation to do what I can to help ensure preventable injuries and death aren’t recurring tragedies; that work is not limited to the courtroom.. With the support of a large, full service firm with the resources to tackle the most complex and difficult cases for those who have been injured due to the negligence of others, I strive to keep the human perspective in the forefront of my work.. Service should always be at the forefront of a lawyer’s thoughts. To me, a lawyer means advocate, counselor, advisor, and a positive force for needed change.

I have been practicing personal injury in Arizona since 1985 and bring over 30 years of experience on behalf of my clients. I founded my law firm in 1997 and has over three decades of experience from settlements to arbitrations to litigation and trials. I am a member of numerous professional organizations including the Arizona Association for Justice and the State Bar of Arizona, and I am admitted to practice in all state and federal courts in Arizona.. It is my commitment to all of my clients is to vigorously pursue their cases and to obtain full monetary compensation for them for all of their injuries and damages. I am here to help.. Education:. - University of Iowa, B.B.A., 1980. - Drake University, J.D., 1984

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 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 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 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 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 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.. Personally, I enjoy SCUBA diving, equestrian activities, camping, quad riding, and aviation.  I have a wife and two young sons who are the light of my life.

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 an experienced trial lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona and have been associated with the law firm of Sanders & Parks since 1995.  My practice focuses on personal injury litigation, product liability litigation, commercial disputes, and insurance coverage and bad faith litigation.  My firm represents a wide variety of clients, including large companies, small businesses, and individuals.  I am proud to serve as a tenacious and honest advocate on behalf of my clients and I always endeavor to do so in the most efficient manner possible.. When I'm away from the office, my passion is traveling and exploring the world. I love learning about different cultures, getting to know the people in different countries, and enjoying the local cuisine.  In addition to traveling (and when the Arizona weather allows), I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, mountain biking, and practicing hot yoga.

I am a Trial Lawyer (Jury Trials) licensed in my home state, Arizona, who represents working class people and their families against insurance companies and large corporations when they are injured or wronged.. My practice focuses on fighting for those catastrophically injured or the families of those fatally injured.. Over my career, I have successfully taken on some of the biggest corporations and insurance companies in the world via several jury trials resulting in verdicts and settlements amounting to millions of dollars recovered for my clients and changes in corporate behavior. This is a direct result of my tireless work ethic, dedication to community safety, and commitment to going the distance for my clients.

I am a lawyer with 27 years of experience, representing individuals, companies, municipalities and insurance carriers.  Most of my work at this time is on behalf of individuals, however, I am also acting as a mediator in an effort to bring resolution to cases.  Having extensive experience on behalf of both claimants and defendants gives me a perspective that many lawyers may lack; having tried many cases before juries gives me experience to know what  jury can do.

I am a lawyer who represents victims of personal injuries with a focus on mass torts.  My firm's principal office is in Phoenix, AZ and I represent clients throughout the United States. I am licensed in Arizona.. We offer representation on a contingent fee basis and we advance the out of pocket expenses of that litigation.  Those advanced expenses come out of the client's share of the recovery upon collection or settlement.. Our clients do not owe anything unless there is a settlement or a collection of a judgment.

I am a Criminal Law Specialist certified by the State Bar of Arizona and I have been practicing law for 30 years.  I teach other attorneys how to challenge illegal searches. While some attorneys like to advertise that they are "former prosecutors," I am proud to say that I have NEVER been a prosecutor! Prosecutors usually have the evidence on their side so being a defense attorney takes much more ingenuity, preparation and skill.. I have represented numerous clients over the years and get many referrals from satisfied clients.  I handle all my own cases.  If you don't need me, I will tell you so.  I will be honest with you throughout my representation as to how your case is looking.. I have listed a few select cases in the "Cases" section to show you a sample of the type of work that I have done for clients. If you would like to speak with me about a criminal matter, I would be happy to meet with you at my office or speak over the phone. Thank you..

Graduated from Scottsdale Coronado High School , May 1966.. Admitted to Arizona State University September, 1966.  Political Science Major-pre law.  Obtained Bachelor of Arts Degree from Arizona State University in May, 1970.. June, 1970 Enlisted in Arizona Air National Guard, 161st Air Refuling Group, materials facilities specialist.. August 1970 Admitted to Arizona State University College of Law (now called Sandra Day O'Connor School of Law). Clerkship with Debus, Busy and Greene-1972. Internship with Arizona Attorney General's Office, Criminal Appeals Division. Internship with Hon. Paul LaPrade, Maricopa County Superior court Judge. 1973. Received Juris Doctorate Degree from ASU in September, 1973. Admitted to practice of law September, 1973. Assistant Phoenix City Prosecutor 1973-1977. Deputy Maricopa County Attorney 1977-81. Private practice 1981-present.. About to start my 43rd year of practicing law.  Early in my career I was a government prosecutor, going into court every day on behalf of the State of Arizona against various types of misdemeamor defendants.  After a few years there, I was hired by the Maricopa County Attnorney's office to prosecute felony cases.  I did that for about three years before entering private practice.  The time I spent as a prosecutor was invaluable.  I learned all about judges, juries, and having to prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt.  I was very fortunate in those days to work with some of the best trial lawyers and judges in Arizona.  I was lead counsel in about 100 or so jury trials.  I even got to appear in front of Hon. Sandra Day O'Connor when she was a trial judge in Maricopa County Superior Court.  You could tell even then that she was destined for higher calling.  For those of us who were fortunate enough to have known her at that level, it was no surprise that she was selected by Pres. Ronald Reagan to be the first woman on the US Supreme Court.. When I first entered private practice, I handled mostly Domestic Relations cases-divorce, child custody, etc.  I also represented criminal defendants, misdemeanor, felony, DUI, etc.  In addition I had my first experiences representing people who had been injured, or families who lost a loved one, due to the negligence of others.(commonly referred to as Personal Injury and Wrongful Death). Because I had been involved in so many prosecutions that focused on the harm done to the victim(s) of crime, it was an easy transition to representing the people and families who had been harmed by the negligence of others.  So it seems like my entire career, in one form or another, I have tried to help balance the scales of justice on behalf of people harmed by a wrongdoer.  In the past 20 years I have focused on personal injury, wrongful death and criminal defense, including many DUI's and traffic-related cases.  I believe that being on both sides of these cases, as attorney for the victim  and the accused, is of mutual benefit to my clients.  Knowing how the "other side" works helps me on either side.. Although I worked initially in private practice with a group of four  other lawyers, since 1983 I have been a sole practicioner, incorporating officially into William S. Chick, PC in 1984.  I have maintained that business profile ever since.. I have practiced all over the State of Arizona, but primariliy in Maricopa County. As far as my personal approach to the practice of law, I always try to remember the sage advice of my grandfather who told me: "if you take care of your flock, your flock will  take care of you".  I try to treat every case, big or small, in a way that will exempify the best in the legal profession.  I do my best to give each and every client a dedicated, diligent, and thoroughly professional representation.  I have been blessed with excellent paralegals and support staff over the years and look forward to many more opportunites to be of service to my clients.  .
