I hired Kaitlin DiMaggio for my brother-in-law who was dealing with a custody battle. The DiMaggio firm did a great job, and he was happy with the outcome of his case. The team always answered any concerns or questions within a timely matter and made him feel good even in a bad situation. I would highly recommend this firm for anyone dealing with Criminal and Family law issues.

I had an issue with a possible charge. I was recommend to Jefferson Simmons by a civil lawyer since it turned out to be a criminal case. I wasn’t sure where to go and he noticed that. Even though it wasn’t something they would be able to help, he still pointed me in the right direction and guided me on my next steps. Going out of their way to help someone regardless if they can help speaks a lot on who they are. If for some reason I need help in the future I wouldn’t hesitate!

Tracy and Joelle by far is the best team! Have been in my crazy battle for 4 years now, with my previous lawyer he did an okay job, but after hiring Tracy and her team, I am finally making progress. Tracy has been very transparent and gives the best advice throughout this crazy/difficult time. She has given me so much peace of mind and very on top of it. Her and Joelle has exceeded all of my expectations and then some. I am a complete over thinker and they both have eased my mind so much and have kept me sane from all of the crap I have been through. I wish I hired Tracy to begin with, but very happy I found her through a referral! Thank you over and over !!

Ron was referred to me . I have to say I made the right decision. He communicated and would keep me up to date on my case . Ron also advised me if I ever need advice or referre me to someone in the future he will do that. My daughter had a accident at work and gave her another attorney name and number. I appreciate that he talked with her at no charge. I totally recommend Ron 100%. Thank you Ron for finishing my case with a great amount.

After Kevin Neal and the Gallagher & Kennedy Firm represented me following my husband's wrongful death in a plane crash, I highly recommend their services. From our initial contact, Kevin and Sharlee provided us with compassion, integrity, and a dedication to excellence. Their team worked tirelessly, exhausting all areas of expertise to bring closure to my family’s case.
What began with my own uncertainty and the facts and details of the case, Kevin transformed through extensive research and the accumulation of multiple perspectives and explicit data in our favor. This resulted in top-notch legal representation that went beyond a mere business transaction, becoming a partnership in seeking justice for my family.
We are deeply grateful for their expertise, patience, and perseverance throughout the case. Kevin and his team’s knowledge and skill in fighting to the last moment ensured the utmost care and certainty for us. While no amount recovered can bring back my husband, I am confident he can rest peacefully knowing that Kevin Neal and his associates fought relentlessly to provide us with the closure and means to carry on his legacy.
If you or a loved one find yourselves in need of an attorney, especially for an airplane-related death claim, I highly recommend Kevin Neal with full confidence that you will receive the same exceptional care and representation that my family experienced.

I have known Kevin for over 10 years. I have used his services in both my professional and personal life. As the owner of a business having lawyer you can trust and who treats you like a friend has been a true blessing. As a former law enforcement officer, my opinion of lawyers was not very high until I met Kevin. He is the real deal! When it comes down to it...the smartest guy in the room usually wins the fight. This is why I will never be in a fight without Kevin by my side.

Hello, I just have to say that Brian is a wonderful hard working Attorney. He took my case which was very hard to prove. And he worked diligently until he was able to get me some money. I truly thought I wouldn’t receive anything or if I did it would be about $4 or 5 thousand. It was much more. I would refer all of my family and friends to Brian because they would be in the hands of someone who truly cares.

Erlichman Law Firm has represented me as well as my family members and friends over the course of 30 years. We would NEVER think of calling on any other Attorney to represent our family and friends in matters of accidents, injury, and liability cases. Joseph Erlichman is the BEST of the BEST, when it comes to litigating and winning cases, that appear impossible. He's never lost a case for me, nor any other family member or friend I've ever referred to him. More importantly he is a man of integrity, highly knowledgeable, and respected in his field of expertise. He shows up prepared to fight using all the resources he needs to WIN. The staff is professional, thorough, and always makes the clients feel they're
Mr. Erlichman's only case, which is a great feeling. Mr. Erlichman is responsive, attentive, and gets results. I am fortunate, and blessed to have him in my corner when there is a need for sound legal representation.

The outcome was very positive and I could not be happier with how it turned out.

I had a bad fall out with my business partners. When I hired Adam I was on the verge of completely losing all my shares to my partners because they had the majority vote.
After our first meeting, I knew he was going to be my lawyer because he asked all the right questions. He explained what my rights were and the legality (or lack of) in what they were trying to do to me. He discussed a few approaches I could take and discussed all the pros and cons of every approach. He took all my advice into consideration when putting a game plan together. So of course I hired him.
I was ready for a very long battle because it got very personal between us. I knew nobody was willing to budge. To make a long story short, it is now 6 months later and the case is over. I sold my shares for almost 10% more than my asking price.
Adam is hands down the best lawyer I have ever worked with. He made me feel like I was his only client. He remembered every detail about my case every time we spoke. Not to mention he is very generous when counting his hours.
I highly recommend Adam. It was a pleasure working with him

I was seriously injured in a car accident. It turned my life upside down. Adam helped me through a very tough time. He took care of all the details like dealing with insurance companies, doctors and hospital. Adam recovered a substantial settlement that has helped me rebuild my life. He was patient, compassionate and understanding. God bless you Adam and thank you for what you do. Please continue to help other people like me.

I hired Adam to assist us with a significant business transaction. Several things stood out about Adam. I was impressed by how thorough he was. His responsiveness was lightning-quick in a fast moving situation. I felt like we were his first-priority – Adam even rearranged his schedule to accommodate us. His advice and work were excellent. His efforts helped us achieve a fast and favorable closing.

My wife and I used their website to see if we had a medical malpractice case. Kyle Shelton emailed us a response within 15 minutes and we submitted it after 9:00 pm. He did not think we had a case but even still they spent time they did not have to spend explaining the circumstances why and wishing us all the best. This is above and beyond customer service and we will be coming back if we have any other potential legal issues.

I would like to thank Shah & Associates Law Firm for their excellent services in my case. Dr. Zaheer A Shah, Mr. Kyle Shelton, and Mr. Erik Johnson were helpful and extremely supportive since the beginning of the case. Their excellent communication took all stress out of the process. The initial settlement offer from the other party was unreasonable. Dr. Shah called and informed me about the offer and we both felt that the amount was unacceptable. He went above and beyond my expectations and attained a very reasonable settlement without going to the court. They explained everything step by step and always answered all of my questions. They were always available through phone and email. They kept me informed of all the details that were related to the case. I am very fortunate and delighted that they were able to handle my case. I would highly recommend Shah & Associates Law Firm to anyone.

When I was hurt five years ago by doctors that I trusted in Casa Grande, I had no idea who to turn to. I read about Dr. Shah and Kyle Shelton online and met them both. I could tell right away that Dr. Shah, with his medical knowledge, was able to figure out how the medical malpractice happened to me. From that point forward, I knew I was in great hands. Kyle and Doc have treated me like family. I spoke with Kyle on Christmas one year, just to talk about my case. Kyle and Doc told me that they only take the cases where doctors clearly broke a safety rule and where someone has been seriously injured. That is what happened to me and I am so glad I have them in my corner. I have seen Kyle in action in court, and he is smart and means business. They have pursed justice for me and continue to pursue justice for me 100%. I can't recommend Kyle enough. You would be a fool not to go to Kyle and Dr. Shah if you have been the victim of malpractice.

I consulted this lawyer and felt she was very patient, listened, and advised me at a time when I was stressed. She asked thoughtful questions and provided helpful information. Most important she stated "You are right to be concerned" which really helped me to take a deep breath and communicate better with her.

A truly compassionate and caring lawyer!
I feel so blessed and lucky to have found Alicia.
She worked quickly and went above and beyond to bring me a bigger settlement than I expected!
Alicia is a force to be reckoned with…gracious, yet full of tenacious persistence, never backing down to the opposition, because of her dedication to her client.
Alicia is easy to contact and ready to address any questions or concerns, which was very comforting to me, as I was a suffering victim from a horrible head on car crash, caused by a drunk driver.
I originally hired a much larger law firm, where I was lost in the crowd…with unreturned phone calls and no show appointments by my attorney.
If for some reason Alicia is not available, her assistant & paralegal Rebecca is on top of it!
I cannot thank this dream team enough for their devotion and hard work!!
Save yourself time and additional suffering from the majority of uncaring, ambulance chaser law firms!
Alicia Funkhouser is the real deal.

Tyler is the absolute best lawyer that I could have used to represent me. Knowing that Tyler not only competed and won numerous awards when competing in mock-trial in college, but is also a coach for the ASU Mock-Trial Team, I knew that I was getting a lawyer who is top tier. Tyler took the time to understand my concerns, go through all of the details leading up to my hearing, and prepped me well for the day of the hearing.
When my hearing came, I was extremely nervous, but he reassured me that everything would move forward smoothly and there would be nothing to worry about. Tyler was phenomenal with his execution of our opening and closing statements, as well as with his cross-examination of me to bring to light the facts that may not have been known to the board.
Tyler's knowledge and expertise is the reason why my case was won, and I know for a fact that if it weren't for him, I would not have had the favorable outcome that we hoped for.
If you want a lawyer who doesn't just know how to win, but also understands how to comfort and support you amidst the entire process Tyler from Doran Justice is your guy. And if you need any extra reasons as to why you should choose him, look at his resume and his willingness to give back to and help coach the future lawyers of the world -- as it is evident that he genuinely cares about every person that he helps.

James handled a matter for my wife and me. It was an experience that exceeded our expectations.
He is trustworthy, honest, does exactly what he says he will do, and is an effective advocate inside and outside of the courtroom. He is aggressive when he needs to be, but he is always pragmatic and solutions-oriented. And he's not afraid of going to trial and fighting for you (he's very skilled inside of a courtroom).
He promptly returns phone calls and emails, understands the law, and will give you candid feedback, even if it is not what you want to hear. You can always count on James to give you an honest opinion and to represent your interests with enthusiasm. I strongly recommend James and would not hesitate to hire him again.

My wife and I had done quite a bit of research as to the ins and outs of the laws pertaining to an employment contract. As a result, the further we researched, the more questions we had, so we finally decided we needed professional input.
We contacted James Cool and made an appointment for an after-business-hours telephone call. Within 30 minutes of our conversation, Mr. Cool had not only answered all of our questions but answered using practical examples that were easily absorbed. He showed great attention to detail and instilled a high level of trust. His demeanor was professional yet quite personable. My wife and I felt as if a giant weight had been lifted off of our shoulders. Based on our experience, we highly recommend him.

I was in a terrible motorcycle accident in 2012 that resulted in permanent injuries. I found Scott Palumbo quite by accident in 2013 and was so glad that I did, as the original attorney I was with, lost his license to practice law! Right from the start, you could tell that you were dealing with a talented family man who is passionate about his work, and who has principals and integrity. I immediately knew that I was in capable, experienced hands, which instantly put my mind at ease after the experience I had with the prior attorney.
Over the last couple of years I have gotten to know Scott & all I can tell you is that he is an exceptional "one in a million" professional and is a man of substance. He is detailed, trustworthy, provides expert guidance, informative through out the entire process, gets results and most importantly puts your interests well ahead of his own. I will always be truly grateful to both Scott and his extremely competent Legal Assistant Susan and consider myself very blessed for having found him.

It was a privilege to have Scott Palumbo as my attorney.
I was involved in a motorcycle accident causing hospitalization and rehabilitation.
To find quality representation, I asked my mother to contact her friend who is the City Attorney of my hometown. She recommended that I contact Palumbo Wolfe & Palumbo.
To sum up my experience, everything went smoothly and I always knew what to expect. Scott took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and gave me a sense of ease. It was very easy to contact Scott when I needed something.
I find Scott's character honest, knowledgeable, and confident.
I am more than happy with the results.
I highly recommend Scott to represent cases involving motorcycle accidents.

Hopefully you will never need the services Palumbo Wolfe & Palumbo offer, but if you do you will not find better representation than Scott Palumbo and staff. He specializes in representing catastrophic and life changing injury cases. He is the Michael Jordan of Trial Attorneys, no joke. My case went 3 years and finally settled days prior to trial. During that time I watched Mr. Palumbo in front of the judge and was truly impressed at his ability to think 12 steps ahead of the defense. He is a family man with high standards and exceptional character. He is a straight shooter and will tell you how it is. He has great support staff that communicates very well and doesn't miss a thing.

Mr. Black has provided a variety of legal services to my family and me over the last several years. I initially contacted him for advice relating to certain of my business matters, but more sought his services regarding a personal injury accident in which my daughter was involved. She was struck by a negligent driver while she was riding her bike on a city sidewalk. She sustained multiple serious injuries and required extensive hospital treatment and medical follow-up. Her claim against the other driver’s insurance company was resolved much to our satisfaction. Mr. Black has continued to help me with other legal matters and when my inquiries are not in areas in which he regularly practices, he has been very helpful in helping me to connect with other top professionals.

We are so thankful that we had someone like Mark to help us through such a hard time. Mark is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I never doubted that he knew what he was doing and had the background and legal expertise to get us through any hurdles. He was very good at keeping us informed throughout the entire legal process. He was very good at explaining the options and letting us decide which route to take. When we were unsure, we relied on his judgement and could not be happier with the results. Mark is also surrounded by an amazing legal team including his colleague Lincoln and assistant Gay. They made us feel like a part of their family. I always felt that they had our best interest in mind. Thank you for a great job Mark, we are very grateful.

Mark is an amazing person and he goes out of his way to make you feel like family. He also stands up for you more then you could imagine. He will fight for you and never give up.

He has been in my life for a long time and it is hard to think about not having him calling to see how I am doing. I also want to add that Mark has a great team behind him. Gay is amazing at being there for you no matter what you need. I just want to thank them for helping me through one of the hardest things I have ever been through.

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.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
