Overview OVERVIEW 2012             Arizona’s Finest Lawyers come in many shapes, colors, and ages—youthful, seasoned, and some of a mature perspective. Advocating, counseling, defending, judging, learning, legislating, prosecuting, and retiring—we were young once, and lawyers. Ours is a shared DNA—we support the indiscriminate defense of right and wrong—for a fee, or not. We belong by birth and interest to the clients and constituents we serve. By habit and taste to the middle ground. We are the connecting link between the law abstract and due process—whether in hand-to-hand combat in courtrooms, or commercial transactions in boardrooms. While we prize free institutions much, we value the legality of those institutions even more. We often find ourselves on the opposite sides of a case—when that happens we become fine scissors, cutting only what comes between us, but not each other. Like painters, we can change white to black. And as Jane Bryant Quinn elegantly said, “Lawyers are operators of toll bridges across which anyone in search of justice must pass.” We exist to identify the finest lawyers on the bridge so that those who want to cross can do so safely.
