We have represented thousands of people, including some of the largest and most important injury cases ever brought in the United States.

In the single largest damages case in the history of the world, our attorneys were selected by the Arizona Attorney General as the only Arizona law firm to represent the State against American tobacco companies. As a result, Arizona taxpayers will receive more than three billion dollars to cover the costs of treating tobacco-related illnesses, maintain educational programs to prevent young people from smoking, and fund other important State programs.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of contaminated food, you may be entitled to compensation.
