Raised in Arizona, I started out as a CPA in the business world. I then realized I could affect the lives of individuals more profoundly by becoming an attorney. I began working at the largest Arizona civil defense firm for 7 years. On the eve of being made a partner, I decided to go out on my own and form a firm in order to work as closely with clients as possible. I continue to work directly with clients and do not have them handled solely by staff or underlings. I am competitive and if I take your case, I am doing so because I believe we can obtain a good result for you.

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.. Kristen Curry

I not only help my clients achieve fair and full compensation for catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims, but I also try to transform those tragedies into constructive change to prevent similar disasters in the future. That is because I believe as a lawyer it is important to be a positive influence in my community. So my work doesn’t start with a lawsuit any more than it ends with a settlement or verdict.. Catastrophic personal injuries and wrongful death can impact the whole structure of a client’s life, not just finances. I help people who have suffered unthinkable tragedy, but my work goes well beyond financial compensation. I feel a social obligation to do what I can to help ensure preventable injuries and death aren’t recurring tragedies; that work is not limited to the courtroom.. With the support of a large, full service firm with the resources to tackle the most complex and difficult cases for those who have been injured due to the negligence of others, I strive to keep the human perspective in the forefront of my work.. Service should always be at the forefront of a lawyer’s thoughts. To me, a lawyer means advocate, counselor, advisor, and a positive force for needed change.
