Medical Malpractice
Report
We want/need to trust our doctors - our lives depend upon them.
Yet, doctors are human and make mistakes.
When a physician makes a mistake it is called medical malpractice.
Because medical malpractice often causes catastrophic injuries, doctors carry medical malpractice insurance.
Medical malpractice insurance carriers employ skilled attorneys not to protect the doctors, but to protect the insurance carrier from having to pay claims.
Thus, it is rare that a medical malpractice claim is settled without going through litigation.

Criminal Defense
Report
Arizona has a well-deserved reputation for being tough on crime.
Mandatory sentencing has taken discretion away from impartial judges and given it to prosecutors.
For instance, if the state can prove that a defendant has an allegeable prior felony conviction, then prison is mandatory on any subsequent felony conviction.
Moreover, Arizona does not allow for the expungement of a criminal record.
This means that if convicted of a crime in Arizona, then it will be on your record forever.
Even though the judgment of guilt may be "set aside, " the conviction remains.
