I married my wonderful wife in 2002 and we have three daughters.  As such, I am clearly outnumbered in the house.  I am active in the bankruptcy bar and Bankruptcy Inn of Court.  My hobbies include indoor archery, firearms training and Sayoc Kali.

I have practiced commercial/business litigation since graduating from BYU law school in 1976. Tried more than 100 jury trials. I love the courtroom. I prepare and trial cases electronically because it increases efficiency and lowers costs. All client documents are scanned and bates-labeled, so that complete chronologies can be prepared. A chronology is vital to understasnding the case and preparation. It, also, allows for designation of trial exhibits and preparation of exhibit lists using the computer rather than hand-sorting and hand-description of exhibits. Exhibits can be annotated electronical for effective trial work, and I use the computer equipment in the courtroom myself: there is no disconnect between the examination and getting the document on the screen for the witness, jury, and judge.. Computer images are used in depositions rather than paper exhibits because of the increased efficiency and the resulting lack of disconnect when depositions, which I always videotape, are played at trial. The talking head and the document can be displayed for the jury, and the bates number assures the jury that the same document marked and used at trial is the one about which the witness is testifying. The images allow a free-ranging deposition rather than one limited the stack of documents on the table.. We have the necessary computer programs to process native-file electronic documents (ESI or electronically stored information). Metadata is essential in many cases. We, also, have the right computer forensic help for imaging and use of client and adverse-party computers.. My longest jury trial lasted ten months, a securities fraud trial with more than 10,000 exhibits marked. It was eash to manage becuase of technology. My largest jury verdict resulted in a judgment of more than $60 million. I have traveled internationally for cases and, of course, all over the United States. Tried cases in many states.. I was an adjunct professor of law at ASU lawschool for two years teaching electronics in the courtroom.. I have done cases on a budget and cases where the amount at issue was such that there was no budget. My fees tend to be less than other lawyers because of the efficience of the  electdronics used for prepartion, management, and trial. I, also, expect the client to help me know where to look for evidence in the field of discovery so I do not have to turn over rocks where there are no worms.. I have an economics degree, which helps in the sorts of cases I try. Cases that generally involve economic and accounting experts. It is easier to prepare an expert or cross the other side's expert if you have background in the subject area.. I have a commercial pilot's license with more than 4,000 hours of flight time, less than 80 hours of which is in single-engine aircraft. I know airplanes, the FARs, and all things aviation, so there is no or very little learning curve when the case is aviation related. I have represented pilots, FBOs, Part 135 operators, and Part 145 repair stations.. I am a trial lawyer. That means I want to try the case. My job is to get the case ready to try and try it, not ready to settle. I am at home in large-document cases involvintg complex legal issues. I prefer the courtroom to the office. Interviews, discovery, and everything pre-trial (office work) is to get me to the courtroom.

I enjoy family time with my wife and two daughters.  I also enjoy playing golf, tennis, or basketball, and working out.

I begin by thanking you for considering me as your potential attorney.  I believe it is important for potential clients to know as much as possible about my qualifications, including my education and expereince in my areas of practice.  I have included substantial information here, but to the extent you would like to know more, I encourage you to review my firm's website, or feel free to call or email me with any additional questions you may have.. I began my practice as a third-year law student admitted to practice in all State Courts in Arizona through an internship program, where I worked with a wonderful supervising attorney at a Scottsdale real estate firm.  I was fortunate to start my trial expereince early on, in that I had already handled six trials by the time my internship concluded, including two jury trials.  From there, I immediately moved on to a reputable Phoenix general practice law firm.  I worked primarily with the firm's Senior Partner to establish a new practice area for both the firm and the State of Arizona, which would become my niche in the legal field.  We represented homeowners and condominium owners against their owners' associations (HOAs/COAs).  Most firms practicing in this area represent HOAs/COAs only, so we began pioneering the way with only a few others in the State working specifically with owners.  Although my practice was very focused on community law and litigation in that regard, I practiced (and continue to practice) in other civil law and litigation areas, including but not limited to: commercial litigation, commercial collections, land use, zoning, real estate generally, torts such as defamation and invasion of privacy/Lanham Act violations, personal injury, wrongful death, business law and litigation, partnership disputes, elder abuse, construction law and litigation, lien litigation, and employment litigation for both employers and employees.  It was truly a general litigation firm, such that I had amazing opportunities to gain experience in numerous areas of the law.. I remained with that firm for nearly 8 years, until the time was right for me to open my own practice with my husband when he graduated from law school and immediately passed the Arizona Bar examination.  We opened our firm in 2011, and upon his admission to the Bar, it became McKeddie Cooley, in May 2011.  Since that time, my practice has remained essentially the same, but I am more focused on community law and litigation than other areas, although our firm still handles cases of a general civil nature frequently.. I am passionate about my work and care deeply about my clients' satisfaction.  With respect to HOAs and COAs in particular, I believe there is a bias in favor of the associations both financially and legally.  I advocate for legislative change and speak with the media in an effort to influence the legislature to consider positive change for owners as often as I can.  Associations spend approximately $2 million per year lobbying with the Arizona legislature alone, yet essentially nothing is spent on owners' rights.  There are some dedicated volunteers that work tirelessly for owner rights, but again, the deck is stacked against them and the result is often inadequate and/or well-intended, but misguided legislation.  There is no regulation of HOAs or COAs in Arizona, such that attorneys are essentially the only hope an owner has when he or she (or an entity) finds themselves in a dispute with their association.  There is an adminstrative process at the Office of Adminstrative Hearings, but I believe it is problematic in many ways, as owners often end up with unfavorable results even when they win at the OAH level (HOA/COAs can and do appeal the results owners obtain at the OAH).  I am very sympathetic to the overall cause of owner rights and abuse of power that unfortunately often occurs within the boards of directors for owner associations in Arizona.  This is not to suggest that all HOAs/COAs are bad, as I recognize the hard work good people do as volunteers serving their communities who are dedicated to fairness.  Those individuals do not end up on my desk, as they manage their communities well.. Fairness and justice are concepts that are not lost on me in any respect.  I make every effort to keep my rates as reasonable and fair as possible, often offering discounts as a courtesy to my clients.  We are generally an hourly based firm, as our contingency fee and flat fee work is extremly limited in nature.  It is my goal to be as upfront with potential clients as I possibly can be, which is why I provide as much disclosure here as possible regarding the nature of our firm's billings.. If you would like to know more about my experience, publications, and interactions with local media in Arizona, please review our firm's website listed above.  Some of my cases have been featured on the local news, and some have been featured in local newspapers.  I have also been interviewed for general HOA/COA issues in legal newspapers and Internet radio shows.. I am quite proud of my education, as I worked very hard for my achievements.  I graduated second in my class, Magna Cum Laude, from California Western School of Law in San Diego, Calfiornia in December 2003, where I had the honor of being selected as a Kennedy Scholar.  Before law school, I attended Arizona State University, earning a Bachelor's of Science degree in Justice Studies.  I graduated Suma Cum Laude with a 3.93 GPA in December 2000.  In both instances, I graduated a semester early, as I put in extra hours while maintaining employment on a full-time basis in college.. As you can likely see, I am a hard worker and strive for perfection in everything that I do.  I am results oriented, such that our firm interviews potential clients and we do not take cases that we do not feel we have a high likelihood of success.  We pride ourselves on ethical representation, which is something we feel is often lost on attorneys, thereby lending to a negative perception we hope to contribute to changing for the positive.  We do not promise anything that cannot be guaranteed, and rather, we are very honest about the reality of litigation.  Nothing in the legal industry can possibly be guaranteed insofar as results are concerned.  However, our experience has taught us what is likely to succeed and what is not.  We will be honest with you and tell you the truth about the goals you have in your legal endeavors, usually in our initial consultation if we can discern enough information to do so there.  We will make every effort to obtain the relief you seek if it is possible to do so.  In this regard, we are expereinced in appellate work, as trial courts sometimes make mistakes (judges are people, too).  We are proud to report we recently obtained a victory for our clients via Special Action at the Arizona Court of Appeals in a published Opinion, Halt v. The Honorable J. Richard Gama.  Both attorneys in our firm are published law review authors as well.  It is very important to research any attorney you are thinking of hiring and I am happy to answer any questions you may have aboout me, our firm, or our legal services.   We look forward to speaking with you.

I am a certified real estate specialist in Arizona and a partner at the Radix Law Firm in Scottsdale, Arizona. I am licensed in both Arizona and Nevada. I have been practicing law since 2000.

Hi! I am a second-generation estate planning attorney with over two decades of experience, and I have seen how even the best intentions can have negative results. Without considering estate planning, family members can be left in confusion, turmoil, or worse, after a loved one passes.. That is why my focus is on creating comprehensive estate plans that fulfill the wishes of professionals, business owners, and retirees to enable a transition that protects the remaining beneficiaries.. My vision is simple and powerful: provide every client with an exceptional legal planning experience. With a decade spent in the courtroom as a trial attorney, I understand how to help clients and their families protect against predatory lawsuits and stay out of court.. I have been featured in the media as an estate planning authority, including ABC News, NBC News, FOX News and Bloomberg Law.. When not at the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife, seven children and grandchildren. I love the outdoors and am an avid wilderness backpacker - I have even backpacked to the bottom (and back out!) of the Grand Canyon 14 times.
