Following a horrific vehicle accident, my nephew received the harshest possible charges for an event that we felt was not deserving of such excessive retaliation by the state. He was assigned a public defender who, while good-natured and good-willed, seemed increasingly incapable of doing more for my nephew than simply going through the motions and hoping for some good luck. I decided that I needed to help get a more determined and effective attorney. I had some contacts and got numerous recommendations for "the best" attorneys in Phoenix. Most did not even bother to respond to my inquiries. Someone recommended Marci Kratter, and after reading her statement of purpose and values on her website, I felt we had found the right lawyer for my nephew. I asked her to look at the case and give it to me straight. She responded that this was a terrible situation made more terrible by the egregiousness of the charges against my nephew and that she felt certain she could help. She offered to split her fee with another attorney, Larry Kazan, who was an expert in handling vehicular cases. The result of their efforts was a drastically reduced sentence deal for my nephew, one much more commensurate with what had actually occurred. Larry Kazan shredded the testimony of the state's accident reconstruction agent, proving that much of the charge against my nephew was based on inaccurate and misleading assumptions. His reputation was more than lived up to. He and Marci Kratter were tireless in their defense, massively effective, and generous with both their time and their approach to financial matters. I cannot recommend him sufficiently to match his expertise.

In December of 2018 I used Henager Law Firm to represent me in a case that had me falsely accused. I reached out to Henager Law Firm because Tom has an excellent record with winning cases that go to trial. After telling Tom what happen, it was clear he nor me was going to accept any plea bargain and we were going to fight this to the end. Tom prepared and provided witness statements and evidence that put pressure on the state prosecutor to dismiss the case. Unfortunately the court system dragged it on for several months but when it was all said and done, Thomas Henager had my case dismissed and life back to normal. I hope I never get myself into anymore predicaments but it is a peace of mind knowing I have somebody to call if I ever do. Thanks Tom!

When I started looking for an attorney I thought I would never find someone who would believe me. I think a lot of attorneys wouldn't have. I needed an attorney who wasn't afraid to ask the hard questions and had the skill to present the truth. Tom is an exceptionally skilled attorney who gave me everything I needed and more. Tom was able to get me out of jail faster than what is normal. He pulled together every necessary witness and was able to quickly develop a strategy for my defense. Tom had more confidence in my defense than I did, his confidence and experience were reassuring. I was facing felony charges that could have jeopardized my professional license. Tom was able to get my case completely dismissed! I walked out of the courtroom a free man all because of Tom and his zealous advocacy. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney.

I cannot figure out how to remove the previous review but I would if I could. Immigration is a very difficult and emotional process and we felt like we were not getting help. As it turns out Magaly Fontes was not ignoring us and had some family emergencies herself which kept her from contacting us. She did call us and we got the most caring, informative help we have received so far and are looking forward to her representing us through this process. If anyone can tell me how to remove a review I would like to remove the previous negative review I left.

I had the pleasure of working with Joshua Offenhartz when he represented my company during a sensitive buyout of my former business partner. From the start, Joshua demonstrated exceptional professionalism, ensuring the process was handled with care and discretion.
He worked diligently with both parties to facilitate a fair and positive outcome, showcasing his ability to navigate challenging situations while maintaining balance and objectivity. His timeliness, clear communication, and in-depth knowledge of the relevant legal and business considerations made what could have been a stressful experience remarkably seamless.
Joshua’s expertise and attention to detail provided me with peace of mind during this critical transition. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled, reliable, and thoughtful attorney.

I was involved in an accident (being rear ended), and needed to resolve months' of physical therapy visits, repair of my vehicle, and my hospital visit the day I was hit. Although my accident was considered low impact, I still suffered a problematic neck injury needing care. Mr. Barry worked hard to resolve the matter, and kept me informed of my options. He was realistic, and honest , and always returned my calls/emails promptly. Mr. Barry saved me thousands of dollars, and I would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for professional, knowledgable, representation.

Look no further than Michael Zimmerman for your bankruptcy and litigation needs. I’m here to let you know—he puts in the time it takes to provide the most concise, professional, and personalized services available. Mr. Zimmerman was always on top of and ahead of every aspect of my case. Having utilized attorneys in the past, I have never experienced the timeliness in response to inquiries which he consistently provided—making me feel that my case was always his priority. Mr. Zimmerman helped me to maintain my sanity during an extremely stressful process. He’s only one call away. He’ll be there to save the day, and believe me,

Mr. Halliday represented my husband in his Social Security Disability case. He was extremely helpful and very upfront and honest. He gave us no unrealistic expectations and really took the time to help us understand what we may have to face. Because of his help and our leg work with the doctors getting items that he asked of us, my husbands case was won in a very short amount of time. Mr Halliday never was unrealistic and we were all suprised at how things happened.

From the moment I first spoke with Victoria. I knew I was in good hands. She is smart, decisive and caring. She was always on top of deadlines and letters. I never worried that I wasn't being provided quality legal advice. I often emailed her at odd hours, but it was seemingly normal to get a response right away, even at night. She was great to work with and I am 100% satisfied with the outcome of his representation.
