Our Phoenix based law firm is comprised of highly skilled and experienced litigation attorneys, who have won numerous high dollar settlements and judgments for our clients. We represent clients who have been injured in dog bite attacks, auto accidents, slip and fall incidents and medical malpractice throughout the State of Arizona. Our philosophy is based upon the pursuit of justice. Our goal is to obtain the highest possible recovery for our clients while also striving to ensure no other individual or family suffers a similar accident or tragedy.

We believe that the way we treat our clients is as important as how we prepare and present complex personal injury litigation. Each personal injury lawyer at our firm works closely with each client and our legal staff to ensure that communication is clear and consistent and that expectations are identified and met in a compassionate atmosphere from the initial consultation through the conclusion of a case. We have a number of professionals on staff to assist our clients including a Registered Nurse and a private investigator.

Our exclusive personal injury practice focuses on three distinct areas of Arizona personal injury law: Dog Bites, Slip and Fall cases, and personal injury resulting from Motor Vehicle Accidents. Dog and animal attacks are unpredictable, and all too often result in serious personal injuries, emotional trauma, and even death. Even more alarming is the fact that children under twelve suffer a majority of the dog bites and dog attacks. Many states, including Arizona , have specific laws regarding dog bites. The legal issues of a dog bite or animal attack case are complex and often involve questions of insurance coverage, shorter time limitations and a host of other legal concerns. If you or a family member has been the victim of an Arizona dog or animal attack, you will need a lawyer experienced in dog bite cases who will be able to answer all of your legal questions regarding Arizona dog bite law.

Unfortunately, Phoenix, AZ has one of the highest incidents of Motor Vehicle Accidents in the United States. These collisions may involve negligence on the part of drivers or operators, including drunk driving and reckless driving. If you have been injured in a car accident anywhere in Arizona we can help you get the right compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.

Slip and fall injuries can cause some of the most devastating and incapacitating injuries possible. However, slip and fall accidents can also be some of the most difficult cases to successfully present in the State of Arizona. For example, defense lawyers and juries tend to hold the slip and fall victim responsible. It can be very difficult to prove to their satisfaction that unsafe property conditions were present at the time of the accident.

For each of our slip and fall cases, we carefully evaluate every source of information that fairly shows and places fault with the property owner. We obtain footage from video cameras, interview former employees of the establishment, and carefully document the condition of the property at the time of the fall. In addition, we will often bring in a materials expert to evaluate the degree of the defect on the property at the earliest opportunity.
