A Personal Injury Lawyer for Maricopa County
Our office is at 5635 N Scottsdale Rd, Suite 170, Scottsdale, AZ 85250, and we represent people hurt anywhere in the Phoenix metro. If you were injured in a crash, bitten by a dog or lost a family member because of someone else’s carelessness, you can call us from Scottsdale or from any nearby town.
Where you were hurt matters for a few practical reasons. The agency that responds writes the crash report, the local roads shape how a collision happened, and the court that hears a claim depends on its size. In Maricopa County, injury lawsuits are filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, while smaller claims can go to a justice court (A.R.S. 22-201). We explain how those pieces fit your situation on a free case review.
The sections below cover the towns we are asked about most, starting with the ones closest to our Scottsdale office. Our home page explains how we help as a personal injury lawyer in Scottsdale, and each of the Valley cities below has its own page for every practice area.
Starting an Injury Claim in Paradise Valley
Paradise Valley sits just west of our Scottsdale office, and many of the people we talk with there are dealing with crashes on Scottsdale Road, Tatum Boulevard, Lincoln Drive and Mockingbird Lane. If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer in Paradise Valley, you can start with a free case review by phone, and we will explain your legal rights.
Crashes inside the town are generally reported by the Paradise Valley Police Department. An injury claim in Paradise Valley follows the same Arizona rules as any other, including the two-year deadline for most injury claims (A.R.S. 12-542(1)) and the pure comparative fault rule (A.R.S. 12-2505). If a city, county, state agency or other public entity may be involved, a written notice of claim is due within 180 days (A.R.S. 12-821.01). If you were in a crash, a car accident lawyer in Paradise Valley can help you gather the report, the photographs and the medical records, and deal with the insurance company so you can focus on recovering. Our car accident page explains the process in detail.
Personal Injury Lawyer for Fountain Hills
Fountain Hills is a short drive east of Scottsdale along Shea Boulevard, and a personal injury lawyer for Fountain Hills residents should understand the roads that link the town to the rest of the Valley. Shea Boulevard, Saguaro Boulevard and Fountain Hills Boulevard carry the daily traffic, and hills, curves and heavy commuter volume can all play a role in a crash.
If you or someone you love was hurt in Fountain Hills, call us before you give a recorded statement to any insurance company. We will explain how fault is argued and what a claim may be worth. Whatever the cause of your injury, the same Arizona deadlines apply, so the earlier you call, the better.

Personal Injury Lawyer for Cave Creek and Carefree
North of Scottsdale, Cave Creek and Carefree are smaller towns with their own rhythm. If you need a personal injury lawyer in Cave Creek or in Carefree, the questions are familiar: who was at fault, who pays for treatment and what to say to the insurance company. Long stretches of two-lane road, wildlife and winding desert drives can make crashes harder to piece together, so photographs and a clear account matter.
