I have been practicing in Phoenix since 1982, initially working exclusively for insurance companies - either defending their insureds in personal injury cases or defending the insurers themselves in coverage situations or against bad faith claims. After several years I took on a few plaintiffs and then, by word of mouth referrals from clients, my plaintiff's practice began to grow and eventually left little time for defense work. My practice is now split about equally.. My experience from both sides gives me a unique perspective, and one that I believe is very beneficial to clients. I have purposefully remained in a small firm so that your contact is either directly with me or another lawyer with no less than 7 years of experience - your case is not shuffled off to some new associate for "training" purposes.. We don't advertise, and we don't brag - we just work hard for our clients to get them everything they deserve.

My practice includes adoptions (since 1982), surrogacy (since 1998) and plaintiff personal injury law (since 1981)..

I have been practicing plaintiff’s personal injury law since 1981 in Arizona and have also practiced adoption and surrogacy law nationally, and within Arizona.  Since 1982, I have participated in approximately 2200 adoptions as attorney for adoptive persons, adoptive couples, or birth parents.  I have participated in many surrogacy cases over the last 19 years.  I am a fellow of both the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys and the American Academy of Reproductive Technology Attorneys since each was founded.  I have represented the Maricopa County Bar Association before the legislature with regard to adoption matters and was a member of multiple committees which redrafted Arizona's adoption laws over the last 30+ years.. I am  AV Preeminent rated by Martindale Hubble and have been admitted to practice law in Arizona since 1975.  I am also admitted to practice in the District Court of Arizona, 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.

I am a Criminal Law Specialist certified by the State Bar of Arizona and I have been practicing law for 30 years.  I teach other attorneys how to challenge illegal searches. While some attorneys like to advertise that they are "former prosecutors," I am proud to say that I have NEVER been a prosecutor! Prosecutors usually have the evidence on their side so being a defense attorney takes much more ingenuity, preparation and skill.. I have represented numerous clients over the years and get many referrals from satisfied clients.  I handle all my own cases.  If you don't need me, I will tell you so.  I will be honest with you throughout my representation as to how your case is looking.. I have listed a few select cases in the "Cases" section to show you a sample of the type of work that I have done for clients. If you would like to speak with me about a criminal matter, I would be happy to meet with you at my office or speak over the phone. Thank you..

My early career as a trial attorney began on the other side of the fence, in the offices of a major insurance defense firm.

Notable among my successful verdicts was the landmark Sparks vs. Republic National Life Insurance Company case, a $4.5 million award to my client.
