“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.

Losing your loved one is a crushing blow. One of the most painful times of your life.. My first experience with wrongful death came at age 12 when my father died in a car accident. My father was a passenger in the front seat when the driver fell asleep crossing lanes of traffic and striking another car head on. My mother, who had not worked in years and did not have a driver’s license, was left with six children under the age of 14.. My mother hired a wrongful death attorney who brought a claim against the driver, a close family friend. The resulting settlement made news as it was one of the largest wrongful death settlements in the state at that time. The settlement funds that our wrongful death attorney got us, helped our small family to survive.. It may have been this experience which inspired me to become a wrongful death attorney in Utah. Since that time, as a wrongful death attorney in Utah, I have handled a number of wrongful death claims– some high profile, some not. As a wrongful death attorney in Utah, I guarantee to devote my time on your case, ensuring everything is done to help you and your family, that is within my power.. The law cannot replace your loved one. A wrongful death claim cannot bring back your loved one. The only “remedy” the law can give you is what judges call “damages” which is monetary compensation.. No amount of money can replace your loved one. However, a thorough knowledge of wrongful death principles and the facts of the case can help to make sure that justice, though imperfect, is the maximum the law allows. This can bring you a feeling that justice has been achieved.
