I have practiced law in Arizona for almost 30 years. I've also handled cases out of California, Texas, Montana, Kansas, Ohio, Wisconsin, New Mexico and Washington. It is my passion to help those who need help in either criminal cases or personal injury cases. I am very good at what I do and have had a stellar career doing what I love. I've lived in Tucson almost all of my life having graduated from Catalina High School, the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and From St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio, Texas. I am a solo practioner who personally handles all of my cases.

I have practiced criminal law since 2015. With my experience as a former prosecutor, I bring a unique outlook to your case.

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 have been assisting people in Southern Arizona with Social Security disability claims for more than 20 years. I am prepared to do whatever I can to ensure that you get your Social Security disability benefits. This is a long and complicated process and you owe it to yourself to do everything you can to get the benefits you are due. Don't go to court without a lawyer.

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.

As the father of three (3) intelligent and precocious children, I know how important it is to protect and guide them into an unknown, uncertain and unknowing future.  They deserve all of the assets and assistance they can get to succeed in a future that you, as their parent or guardian, may not see.  Never trust your life or your children's lives with an inexperienced or untested attorney.  Never!  I have over thirty (30) years experience as the lead trial lawyer -- including death penalty and representing major Fortune 100 companies -- but found the criminal and civil aspects of the practice of law unfulfilling.  A good lawyer can effect the lives of those living today while a great lawyer can effect the lives of those who are living and coming of age today, tomorrow and well into the future.  I look forward to being of service to you and your children now, tomorrow and far into that unknown and unknowing future.
