My picture: When I'm not working you will find me in the desert, even in the summer (I just start earlier). Lawyer is what I do, it's not who I am, and if you are looking for a lawyer who has had and has a real life, contact me. I have done hard work my whole life, first helping my dad with house projects and doing a lot of jobs since I was 15 years old, washing dishes and bartending, cutting grass and shoveling snow (I grew up in a small New York town), digging ditches and laying tile, and delivering and sorting mail 2 1/2 years with the USPS. I was even a soccer referee for 9 years so I know what it's like to have players, coaches, and parents from BOTH teams disagree with me. I know what it's like to work hard, I get it. I always learn something new every day. I can't respond to complaints from former clients I don't know after almost 41 years I have found that the best way for you to decide if I'm the right lawyer for you is for us to meet and talk. I work by myself, so no staff to get between us, and you will hear from me by phone or text or e-mail when I represent you. I will do everything I can to get you what the workers' compensation laws say you should get. I can't get you anything more, and a lawyer who says he or she can is not telling the truth - I like to be in court and unlike some lawyers who don't like to be or just aren't that good in a hearing, I will not settle your case just to get it over with and I will take your case as far as we can go with it. I will always tell you my truth about your claim. So, if you like what you know about me from here, call and let's talk about you. The first couple of calls are free, I'm the boss and don't need to ask anyone else about fees, and my job is to make your life better. Thanks

(Phoenix) - I LOVE to litigate. I love a passionate argument and all the attorneys at Laboy Law Office have no problem with "putting the fighting gloves on" for our clients. Maybe it's because I have always been a fighter. I have training in Taekwondo, Krav Maga, boxing, and jiu jitsu. Or, maybe it has something to do with where I was born, successfully fighting to escape the mean streets of Brooklyn, NY. I know what it means to be an underdog -- and how to overcome it. Our office will go to bat for you with the same drive and energy.. I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and Journalism from Brooklyn College which TIME Magazine then labeled, “The Poor Man’s Harvard.” I also hold a Master of Arts in Mass Communications from California State University, Fullerton where I graduated at the top of my class and where I was selected the student commencement speaker.. I attended The College of Law at Arizona State University. I graduated law school early -- a difficult task -- and focused on Criminal Justice. I also earned a certificate in Indian Law. I was also selected the student commencement speaker for the law school's very first Winter Graduation Ceremony.. Before graduate school, I worked as an award-winning reporter and writer for The Wall Street Journal and N.Y. Newsday. I also have worked as a media spokesperson, writing press releases and appearing on TV, radio, and in print news stories regarding crisis communications. I have also had stories and columns printed in the Orange County Register, for the New York Times Co., The Kansas City Star, La Voz, Hispanic Link News, and in newspapers around the world, including the United Arab Emirates and England.. I first practiced law as a felony trial prosecutor with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. I prosecuted and took many cases to trial as a Deputy County Attorney including armed robbery, drug sales, DUI, forgery, and aggravated assault cases. I love going to bat for the underdog, especially when the media has rushed to judgment assuming a client's guilt. I have no problem setting up a press conference if it helps a client. I know criminal law from the newsroom to both sides of the courtroom.. I have focused my practice exclusively on criminal defense. Currently, the office is lead counsel on cases including: Conspiracy; several DCAC cases; Transportation of Drugs for Sale; Illegal Control of an Enterprise; Money Laundering; DUI cases; and sex assault involving a minor..
