I initially met Chris to have my name legally changed. I consulted him when my father was killed in a car accident. I hired him and he fought hard for justice. We have multiple suits against various parties including Maricopa County and the software manufacturer for the faulty traffic light. We won all of the suits thanks to Chris's quick thinking, quality research, and legal skills. He was kind, compassionate, tenacious, and hard-working. We fought the suits for 5 years, but it was worth it in the end.

Christopher Post is an excellent attorney and person. His upbeat personality mixed with his professionalism makes it easy to trust in what this man has to say. As my attorney, Christopher Post represented me in a case, and with his valid researched information, he helped to win my case. Christopher made many points that were clear cut and straight to the point. It’s a relief that I was able to work with an attorney who makes me comfortable and who is easy to work with.
Thank you Christopher Post
Keep up the GREAT WORK-

I would highly recommend Chris Post. I was arrested last summer and Chris sat in night court until almost midnight to wait for my arraignment. Out of about 30 others arraigned with me that night, only I was released without bail. Chris was awesome. Without him arguing on my behalf, I would have had to ask friends and family for a loan to bail me out of jail. All of my fellow cellmates that night even asked me for his business card when I was released and they all had to spend the night in jail. I can't thank Chris enough!!!

Attorney Nathanson is very knowledgeable in his areas. He got me dismissed with prejudice from a lawsuit. I highly recommend him.

I am a former client that previously gave a 5 star rating. This lawyer in my opnion had a Delay and Lack of Diligence when he was my attorney. I was not properly informed on the progress, and details of my case. That is my opinion and not Defamation.

I was very pleased with my experience as a client of Mr. Miller.
I was taken through the whole process of my case from start to finish with reassurance by he and his staff.

The most rude person. Tried to get help form him, but instead he started criticizing and tell me that my case was very small for him. I needed his guide and he almost said that my case was a wasting of time for him. No sense of humanity as well as the secretary. The worst attorney experience.

I met David via a Doctor we both knew. David as a Person is a very likeable person guy you would mind having a party or BBQ. But his lack of business experience is his flaw. Also understanding your word is your word. He gave me many insurances verbally. But later would change his story or I never said that. I been in business owner for 30 years 3 rd generation business owner, I learn your word is only ting you own. Golden Rule is the max rule of the land. People who don't live by it die.
David took my case I already started handling it had over 50% done. I started on new project had no time. I told I still hand many pains need see another doctor. He did nothing he did nothing from for 10 months. I later told him settle case I have few people BK on me and I need cash. He did nothing he left the firm. I latter end up with new lawyer who has 1 year from passing his bar.
All I got is giant lien on the case and foreclosure on my house.
I hope he learns the Golden Rule one day. I can't believe he was ever soilder.

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.
