My early career as a trial attorney began on the other side of the fence, in the offices of a major insurance defense firm. It was there that I acquired the experience, the skills, and the special insight into defense strategy that has served me so well in the field of personal injury law.. Notable among my successful verdicts was the landmark Sparks vs. Republic National Life Insurance Company case, a $4.5 million award to my client. To this day, it is the defining case for insurance bad faith, and yet it is only one of several other multi-million dollar jury judgments won in my career.. I am certified by the State Bar of Arizona as a specialist in "wrongful death and bodily injury litigation" and have been recognized in Best Lawyers in America, as a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers, the International Society of Barristers, as well as being a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates.

I have been practicing law for over two decades.. I've litigated and won jury trials involving negligent road design, nursing home abuse and financial exploitation of vulnerable adults, insurance agent negligence and insurance bad faith, medical malpractice, premises liability cases and motor vehicle personal injury cases. When it is in the client’s best interest, I will settle cases through negotiation and mediation.. After graduating from high school in Newington, Connecticut, I worked for small law firm in Hartford. That experience piqued my interest in becoming a lawyer. After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics and Government from the University of Hartford, I transferred to the University of San Diego where I earned a law degree.. While I was in law school, I worked as a Summer Associate at a large corporate law firm in Stamford, Connecticut. After graduating, I joined the firm but found that I was more interested in litigation and advocacy than corporate representation so I left to firm to serve as Managing Attorney for White Mountain Legal Aid in Show Low, Arizona. There, I represented clients in domestic relations and consumer matters. I later transferred to the Southern Arizona Legal Aid Office, where I focused primarily on domestic relations matters and legislative advocacy.. After nearly four years with Southern Arizona Legal Aid, I joined Goldberg & Osborne and began handling injury cases. I left the firm to become a partner at a local personal injury firm before I joined the Khalidi Law Firm, PLLC in 2013. I found that the Khalidi Law Firm shares my values of client advocacy and honest legal representation.. I litigated a nursing home appellate case which resulted in a published opinion from the Arizona Court of Appeals Division II, Corbett v. Manor Care. I also helped draft legislation on domestic violence and child support and litigated a case on child custody jurisdiction, which resulted in a published Arizona Supreme Court opinion.. I've tried cases in Pima, Maricopa, Navajo, Apache, Santa Cruz, and Cochise counties in Arizona and in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona and in Federal District Court in Pennsylvania and Colorado. I've handled cases in White Mountain Apache and Tohono O’odham tribal courts, as well as the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and the Arizona Supreme Court.. I have a strong commitment to improving the lives of the vulnerable people in our Tucson community. I have volunteered for non-profit organizations that advocate for victims and served as legal counsel for a study at the University of Arizona on restorative justice for sexual assault cases. I've given presentations on victims’ rights, domestic violence, and nursing home abuse and neglect at the university and to various professional organizations. Currently, volunteer to teach adults how to read.

I am willing and eager to fight City Hall. I have never liked representing the party with the most resources - what fun is there in fighting a battle you are almost guaranteed to win? I get great satisfaction out of disabusing government lawyers of their usual self-righteous grandeur.. I grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania, but have lived in Tucson since I moved here for law school in 2003. I love the desert and have made it my home. I care about what happens in my community, and my practice is geared towards helping people to use their property in a way that advances our common best interest. I find the people in the community keep its best interests better than government officials.. I have always been immersed in real estate - my father is a successful real estate appraiser in Pennsylvania. Little did I know that all of those little detours from tennis practice to "just take a look at a property or two" would become the foundation for a great love of the work that I do.

I am a Tucson, Arizona native (and married a native too).

Estate planning, probate and trust, guardianship/conservatorship.

After graduating law school and earning my BAR card I started practicing with a large, local firm. I practiced at that firm for almost 15 years and while I gained a tremendous amout of experience I wanted something more. What I wanted was a personal connection to those I represented. I wanted to learn who they are and how their situation impacted them and their loved ones. I wanted to really know their story.. I started my own practice with that in mind. My entire team understands who I am and who we represent. What we do matters and we remember that every minute of every day. You will be able to find lawyers who are juggling more cases and I cannot imagine you will find a personal advocate who cares more about the outcome of your matter!
