“This is the most difficult ordeal in my life!”. Many of our clients have told us that over the years.  We understand one simple truth:   You have suffered a life-changing physical injury, or the tragic loss of a loved one, and need a legal team that can not only successfully litigate your injury or wrongful death case, but can also help you get your life back.. We measure success not only by the results we obtain for our clients, but also by the enduring relationships we enjoy with our clients long after their case is concluded.. But now a few words about me:  I moved from Connecticut to Arizona as a young teen back in 1978.  I have lived in the Phoenix area ever since.  My teenage and early adult years were marked by enjoying long, hot summers while bragging to friends and family back east about how bearable 110 degree days were, because after all it was a "dry heat."  It's funny how that perception dwindles away as we get older.. After graduating law school in 1990, I fulfilled my life-long dream by embarking upon a 3,704-mile solo bicycle trip across the country, refusing to quit pedalling until I reached my aunt's house in Cranston, Rhode Island some two and a half months later (talk about young adult resiliency!)  I will never forget the places I saw, the people I met, and the encouragement bestowed upon me by perfect strangers once they learned about my trip.  It would become the first of two major "missions" in my life.. In 1995, after spending over four years trying major felony cases with the Maricopa County Public Defender's Office, I co-founded the law firm DeFusco & Udelman, P.L.C. here in Scottsdale with my close friend, Randy Udelman, whom I have known since we attended high school together. For the next twenty years we devoted our practice to representing accident victims, crime victims, and victims of unreasonable conduct by insurance companies.   We were privileged to represent many amazing people and to guide them through what has often been the most difficult time in their lives.  Even today, we remain in close contact with quite a few of our former clients, some of whom we have not represented in many years.. While I always thought I'd never marry another attorney, in 2006 I embarked upon my second "mission" in life:  marrying my wife Bryn, also an attorney.  "Honey, I'm not getting any younger," I told her when she asked me if I wanted to wait before having little ones. We now have two beautiful children and, despite busy careers, maintain balance and remain very active in our children's school and extracurricular activities.. On January 1, 2016, my wife Bryn and I founded the law firm DeFusco Law, P.L.C. Later that year, we purchased our office building inside the Agua Caliente complex near Scottsdale and Shea Roads in Scottsdale, which now serves as the home offices for DeFusco Law.  We will continue to maintain a low-volume, referral-based practice and will continue my work of over the past two decades representing individuals on serious personal injury, wrongful death and insurance disputes. Our mission is simple:  We seek accountability for wrongful conduct which causes our clients physical, emotional and economic loss.. When not practicing law, my interests include aviation (bouncing around in a Piper aircraft among many airports in the Soutwestern United States), amateur astronomy, tickling the ivories (for piano bar patrons who pride themselves on singing the loudest), and encouraging my young son to be a proficient golfer and not a golf hacker like his old man.

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 went to law school because I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives and protect my own family.  I was naturally drawn to the practice of estate planning because of its positive nature and ability to impact people.  Estate planning is positive?!  Absolutely.When most people think of estate planning, they’re thinking that it’s only for the rich or the elderly. What they don’t realize is that estate planning is really about leaving a legacy – no matter how big or small – and ensuring that your loved ones are taken care of should you pass unexpectedly.  Protecting families with children is especially important to me. My studies revealed a gap, a great chasm if you will, between traditional estate planning and what families really need.  This gap could land your children in foster care, put a stranger in charge of their inheritance (who will take fees for that service), and leave your estate vulnerable to predators even if you have a will in place.  I have made it my mission to obliterate this gap for my clients—guarantee their children stay in the care of people they know and trust, ensure funds are available for the immediate care of their children, and safeguard their values, beliefs, stories, and experiences!If you want someone that can act as a guardian of your legacy, who deeply understands estate law and can be your trusted advisor in the process of protecting your family, I encourage you to contact me!
