Top best Wrongful Death Lawyers in Phoenix | 181 available

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 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 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 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..
