I'm a 22-year lawyer, practicing in the areas of complex family law and civil litigation.  Most of my cases are high-conflict.  I am acutely aware that my job is not to make my clients' relationship with their (soon-to-be) ex worse.  Years after you forget my name, you'll have to deal with the person with whom you're fighting now.  I am a results-driven, solution-oriented lawyer.  My job is to work myself out of a job.  Each of my clients has my cell phone number.  I am never, ever, out-of-touch.  In addition to my practice, I'm an adjunct professor, teaching family law at Arizona Summit Law School.. I'm 47, originally from New York City, but lost the accent years ago.  I'm married with two teenaged boys.  In my spare time, I write fiction, articles, and collect pinball machines.

I was born and raised in Ohio, but do not miss the midwestern winters at all and thoroughly enjoy the weather and outdoor lifestyle that Phoenix offers.  When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter and to stay in shape I swim with a master's team (I swam for Indiana University in college...Go Hoosiers!).. I have been involved in health care since law school where I gained valuable experience in the legal departments of two of the finest hospitals in the country: Johns Hopkins (Baltimore) and Rush (Chicago).

I help companies accelerate growth through contract transformation, high stakes deal negotiaiton, new market expansion, M&A readiness, improving deal velocity, and more.

I am focusing my practice on public policy, equine law, land use issues, real estate and business transactions, renewable energy, and my firm can handle family law, litigation, employment matters, DUI, and almost any other legal issue you may have. Let me know how we can assist you.

I am an experienced attorney who brings big firm service to my clients.  I have also been a business owner, real estate developer and business management consultant.

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. My practice primarily focuses on real estate (transactions and litigation). But I work with and advise small to medium sized companies on all aspects of their businesses.. As lead counsel I have conducted numerous jury trials, bench trials, arbitrations and appeals. I have experience in all phases of civil litigation and trial. I have also represented clients before the Registrar of Contractors and the Department of Real Estate.. While in law school, I served as the Articles Editor for the Energy Law Journal. After law school, I worked for a well-established firm in Las Vegas, Nevada. I also spent some time working as in-house counsel for a real estate development company. Before joining the Frutkin Law Firm, I was  the Managing Partner of Buck Edmunds PLC, an Arizona law firm with a focus on real estate law and litigation.. When I am not working I love to fly fish and spend time with my wife and three kids.
