I hired Richard to represent my nephew got in a little bit of trouble. Mr. Suzuki actually met with us and gave us realistic expectations. He was always available when I called him, and personally took interest in my nephews case. The result was much better than anticipated, and we are extremely happy with he and his team. We would highly recommend Suzuki for officers. Thank you so much.

If you are researching attorneys before you sign a contract, count your lucky stars that you have found Rabb and Rabb. I had a very expensive, negative personal injury experience at another law firm, and the staff and attorneys at Rabb and Rabb helped me navigate the fallout from that; and they competently handled the UIM portion of my claim. I would ONLY use Rabb and Rabb in the future for any legal needs (God forbid). They are professional, kind, informative, knowledgeable, and capable. They went above and beyond to keep me from being taken (complete) advantage of by my former insurance company, (Connect/Ameriprise), and they courteously answered about a thousand of my questions on all aspects of my case. They did everything they promised in their contract and over the phone, they did it nicely and effectively, and all their communications, court filings, and meetings were prompt and correct. They know their business and they treated me like a real human being. I am thankful to have found them, and I now know how an honest law firm is supposed to handle a collision/personal injury claim! Save yourself from an expensive and heartbreaking mistake, and hire Rabb and Rabb Law Firm to advise you on your claim. I promise you will be happy that you did.

In December of 2019, my grandfather and I were looking for someone to help with estate planning for both him and my grandmother. My grandmother was already very ill and my grandfather, although still alive is also not very well, and they wanted to make sure they had everything planned accordingly for when they pass. I happened to find John on Facebook through someone’s recommendation, and within a week or so he had us in his office, explaining everything and stopping at nothing to make sure they got everything they wanted and needed when it came to estate planning. As mentioned before, my grandmother was very ill from cancer and chemotherapy, and in order for her to sign the required documents, John would have to come to her. He didn’t hesitate at all to visit my grandparents personally in their home, so that she could sign what she needed and keep her wishes even during a time where she was becoming increasingly ill. My grandmother did pass 3 months later, but spoke every day as to how kind and respectful John was to her, and how he truly let her have her final wishes with the most respect and dignity. That is something that I will forever respect and appreciate, that he went to all lengths to make sure her final wishes were met. Whenever we need John, have a question or absolutely anything else, he makes himself available as soon as possible. He is the kindest, hardest working and respectful person that has ever worked with our family. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about him. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, respectful lawyer that will go out of his way to make sure you get what you need and deserve, he is your guy! I am forever thankful that we have found him, and if we ever need any of his services again, we will absolutely never go anywhere else. Thank you John!

Of all the attorneys I ever worked with- this individual was one of the most helpful individuals I ever met in my life., I am a physician - I had a problem with an administration playing games that are not uncommon in Tucson. Hardy understood the problem even after my meandering attempt to explain the problem. He was able to see the problem clearly and took the appropriate steps to get the problem administration- to understand their behavior was unprofessional and was inconsistent with their own policies and procedures- and their unrealistic demands to try and get us to work several additional hours without proper compensation represents harassment. Although the same agency is still harassing their current staff- Hardy's help put the agency on notice. It allowed me and several others to escape the poor working conditions they were imposing on their entire staff. Without Hardy's help- the agency would of kept making unfair and unrealistic demands on the staff and myself. Before consulting with Hardy- the agency was ignoring its own policies and procedures - and making unfair demands at their staff. Staff who did not follow these demands were fired and threatened they agency would report this to the employees licensing board. The agency removed important protections for the workers that was written in clear language in their policy and procedures. Hardy made it clear to the agency they were in violation of their own rules. After his notification- several of us were able to successfully get out of our contracts because their demands were in clear violation of policy. When we tried to point this out to the administration before I consulted Hardy- the administration used smoke and mirrors to justify their improper demands. After Hardy made it clear that the agency was violating their own policy with their demands the administration quickly backed away from their demands and most of the staff who were effected - were able to leave the agency. If it was not for Hardy- this would never of happened- and we would of been forced to work in a hostile environment.
I recommend Hardy without any reservations- he really saved many of our staff and myself from continued harassment from the agencies medical director and her distorted use of the agencies own guidelines.

I consulted with Hardy when I lost my bid for tenure with my university. He helped me navigate the detailed faculty handbook, and explained the meaning of due process violation in the constitution and in practice. I could not have done it without his guidance navigating the intricacies of the law.

David Sumner is everything one could hope for in an attorney when one's loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury. He is smart, informed, compassionate and the most diligent, hardworking individual I have encountered. My husband's hospital file alone was over 3,000 pages and he studied every one of them, multiple times. He methodically built a case, based on evidence, in order to counter the misrepresentations put forth by attorneys for the defense. He obtained expert witnesses that were truly expert and put out a large sum of his own money in order to help our case go forward. He kept in contact with us and we always knew what was going on The most helpful thing for me, as we went through tough years with my husband's condition and the lack of concern from the hospital about their role, was his compassion and determination to fight the good fight on behalf of one who could not fight the fight himself. His hard work brought about a good settlement and we are forever grateful.

Mr. Sumner won our case and showed hard work and extensive research for out case. He amazed us with his knowledge of medical terms and procedures during the trial. Our case started four years ago and was delayed two years because of the virus, and in the end we won. He and his associate John Vingelli worked very well together and are very professional.

Attorney Dave Sumner represented me in an extremely difficult medical malpractice case. I had contacted several attorneys before finding Mr. Sumner and I felt that none of them would represent me due to the complexity. I was about to give up hope when I ran across his website. He helped me when no one else would. Using his exceptionally broad knowledge and his 30 years of experience, he fought to get us the best possible results for our case. Attorney Sumner also has many connections with amazing experts across the country who helped to aid our case. Above all, Dave Sumner is a great human being who genuinely cares for his clients. He is incredibly focused, determined, and dedicated and I HIGHLY recommend him for any malpractice case.

I was involved in a car crash where a guy with a 20ft trailer passed me on the shoulder of the one lane on-ramp shortly before entering the freeway. I was represented by an attorney who dropped the case when I was unwilling to accept a ridiculous settlement offer from the insurance company (Allstate). I called all of those injury / accident law offices which advertise constantly on the radio and billboards, the answer was always the same „Sorry, if it’s already in litigation, we are unable to take the case“
When I was about to give up and represent myself, I stumbled upon Eric’s phone number and I was surprised that I was able to talk to him directly, not through some „intake secretary“. He immediately told me that he would be happy to represent me but that he had an appointment on the day of the hearing which was scheduled a few days later. He called the court and was able to get another continuance, (the hearing had already been rescheduled several times).
The end of the story: We won the case. Eric was extremely well prepared and I was impressed how he presented the case. I don’t think that any attorney could have done a better job. The other party was represented by a mean former prosecutor who tried to blame me for the crash. I am not sure what the outcome would have been without Eric.

I was in the middle of a personal injury case that started heading south in late 2007. Mr Thomson guided me through the process necessary to substitute him as my counsel. His representation through a trial setting resulted in a defense counsel, representing my opponent, offering five times the settlement amount that was offered through prior counsel. He explained to me later that not all attorneys accept pi clients with his commitment to follow it through a trial setting. In my experience, his professionalism and courtesy toward me as with others involved was beyond exceptional. As client, my views were in part unrealistic and perhaps naive or ignorant are accurate descriptors. Anyway, he remained cool headed right down to the wire and set aside time for me along the way and afterwards to make sure I felt in the know. I think that you will agree his people skills and professional candor make him second to none. I mean that he won't waste your time and you will find his manner extraordinary.

Jim Penney has successfully assisted with multiple unfortunate civil issues encountered here in Southeastern Arizona.
In a government position, a female co-worker made bogus accusations that she had been sexually harassed. When it came time for the deposition, she suddenly had a severe case of amnesia and in fact became quite angry when Jim caught her in her insatiable scenario of lies.
At a retail store, a female manager kept using unwelcomed words of endearment such as “hon, daring, sweetie…” when we were not dating. After multiple requests to stop such conduct, termination was the ultimate punishment. Jim was able to obtain a “Right to Sue Letter” from the E.E.O.C.
An H.O.A. President felt it was OK for females to enter the Men’s shower facility unannounced. An effective but diplomatic warning from Jim took care of that problem.
Another employer felt it was appropriate to terminate an employee for reporting serious health and safety issues on the job site in addition to known sex offenders hanging out in the children’s area. His representation earned an unemployment insurance claim.
Jim has been a straight shooter when it comes to a projected case outcome and finances. He returns the majority of phone calls within 24 hours. Thus he has truly earned “The Best Civil Attorney in Southeast Arizona”

My experience with Mr. Penny begin about 10 years ago when he was selected as someone to help me during an injury. He successfully provided an opportunity for a fair settlement due to that injury. My experiences with him provided his expertise and assistance at a very emotional time. He went on to provide other necessary services and information as needed in the past 10 years.
Always professional, friendly and helpful. He is highly recommended by me and my husband.

After my car accident, I experienced pain that kept me from performing even easy everyday activities. I
was fortunate to find an outstanding attorney, Louis Hollingsworth, to represent me in my case. Louis
and his staff took care of all the details related to my case--they dealt with the insurance company,
resolved my medical liens, and were always available to answer my questions. I was very pleased with
my settlement and with the professional and caring way I was treated by the Hollingsworth Kelly Law
Firm.

Mr. Rodriguez did a great job on my medical ngligence case. He took the time to review my medical records and then consulted with me as to what he felt the best outcome would be in my situation. He was very honest and forthright in telling me what my case was worth and why. He handled all the negotiations with the hospital on my behalf. He and his staff quickly replied to all of my inquiries and were friendly and helpful during the case. Although I was hoping my case would be worth more, I understood the reasons for the settlement and in the end I was quite happy with the final outcome. I would recommend that you at least talk with Mr. Rodriguez if you need a medical negligence attorney. He knows what he is talking about.

My name is annette borbon, in November of 2015 I got rear ended by a drunk driver. I did not know what to do so I searched for a layer and came across Bob Barber. From the minute I stepped into his office he was very kind straight forward and very professional. I could tell that he wanted to help me in any way that he could. When the process got started he was on it 100%. He always kept in touch explaining every little thing every step of the way. I was very pleased with the ending result. I recommend Bob to anyone he's awsome!!

Carlo's thorough approach and relentless pursuit of justice were key factors in achieving a favorable settlement that exceeded my expectations.

I recently had the privilege of being represented by an outstanding legal team comprised of John, Mark, and Halley, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for their exceptional service.
No one else was willing to take on my case, and with only three months left before the deadline to file my lawsuit, I was beginning to lose hope. Fortunately, fate led me to John, Mark, and Halley, who not only accepted my case but worked tirelessly and diligently to ensure its success.
Throughout the entire process, the team consistently kept me informed, providing updates even when progress seemed stagnant. Their dedication and commitment to my case went above and beyond any expectations and they exhibited a level of professionalism that was unparalleled. I never felt alone or in the dark, as they consistently checked in on me, demonstrating a level of empathy and understanding that truly set them apart.
What stood out the most was their tactful handling of my case and the genuine sympathy they showed me during a challenging time. They were not just lawyers; they were my champions, guiding me through the legal intricacies with expertise and compassion. Their ability to alleviate my stress and concerns allowed me to navigate the process without unnecessary worry.
To anyone facing a legal battle, I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional legal team. Instead of wasting your time with other lawyers, choose John, Mark, and Halley. Their collective expertise, genuine care, and commitment to their clients make them the ideal choice. Thank you, John, Mark, and Halley, for giving me hope when I needed it most. I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me.

My parents lived in Sierra Vista. I live out of state. My parents had a living trust and a will. The living trust made it so easy to settle much of their estate. Unfortunately, there are a few out of state assets that they did not transfer to the trust.
I spoke to Mr. Robert Way yesterday and he indicated that I actually would be better served by contacting an attorney in the states where the other assets are located. Refreshing to get that kind of honesty in today's world. If I lived in Arizona, I would definitely use his services for anything he would be willing to handle.

NOT WORTH YOUR TIME!!!!!! FIND A MORE CREDIBLE LAWYER!!!!!!! Showard Law Firm ratings are “OVERRATED”!! The intake worker Dany portrays herself as if she is the owner of the firm. Her approach is very rude and condescending. Showers Law Firm will only accept and/or entertain a case from you only if your willing to redo an unnecessary surgery or are half past dead. Why should anyone have to suffer or mutilate themselves to put money 💰 in their pockets!!! I do not recommend this firm to ANYONE!!!!!

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?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
