I had the privilege of working with Jonathan W. Lister at Gallagher & Kennedy, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I happened to know Jonathan from high school years ago, and when I learned he was now practicing law in the Phoenix area, I reached out during a particularly difficult time. Seeing a familiar face, especially one as grounded and kind as his, made all the difference. From our first meeting, Jonathan brought a sense of calm, clarity, and genuine care. He took time to understand the nuances of my case, communicated with integrity and transparency, and truly fought for me every step of the way. His legal knowledge is sharp, but what stands out most is his character, compassion, and commitment. His legal assistant, Dreana Jackson, was also outstanding— always professional, friendly, and incredibly organized. Together, they make an amazing team. I am confident that Jonathan brings this same dedication, empathy, and thoroughness to every client he serves. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only exceptionally qualified but also genuinely cares about you Jonathan W. Lister is the one to call.

This was my first instance where I felt I needed legal representation. I knew my situation was not a typical "slip and fall" case. I felt lost, helpless and simply did not know where to turn or what to do next. Mr Leshner took the time to listen to the specific details of my situation, explained n ot a course of action- but instead gave me different legal options and described (in understandable detail) the different legal courses and the time, actions and expectations of each option. Mr Leshner took away the apprehension and unknown of my situation and has set me up to get the best results for myself, my health and my future. I cannot recommend Mr Leshner in any more higher praise. His input has changed my legal situation and my life for the better in more ways I can accurately describe in an online review!!

When Stephen first met with me I was impressed with his casual and straight forward manner. He gave me a rundown of his qualifications, listened carefully to my situation, added anecdotes to let me know he understood. He asked me a few specific questions and agreed to take my case. I believe he wo uld have honestly told me if I did NOT have a case. The agreement letter was simple. He gave me a realistic time line on what will happen, when. He did not raise any unrealistic expectations, but his confidence gave me confidence that I made the right choice. During the process I was guided through what I needed to do by Steve and, probably more importantly, his worthy assistant, Tammy. Tammy was Johnnie-on-the-spot to answer questions and sooth my worries. I KNOW that if I had tried to represent myself with the involved insurance companies I would not have gotten very far. There's no doubt Steve made a lot of money from my case, but to have someone else go to bat for me with the insurance companies, doctors, and hospitals was well worth it to me. The outcome was most satisfactory and now, nearly a year after my accident, I feel like the case can be closed and I can move on with my life. Thank you to Steve and Tammy!!

Very dishonest. His far Alt-Right ideology is a big problem, not to mention his IQ is inversely proportional to the intensity of his ideology. In other words he is not very smart, not a coincidence.

I've worked with many lawyers over the years in all aspects of business, however never in a personal injury case. Stephen and his staff helped my family, especially my Sister who lives 2000 miles from me who was injured. He and his team made the entire process seamless and professional while taking good care of my Sister for me and my Mother. She was awarded a settlement that is just and will help my Sister hopefully live a very comfortable future, although she is disabled. My Family and I highly recommend Stephen should you need his service. You will not be disappointed.

Steve and his paralegal were absolutely wonderful! Steve and his staff were caring, courteous and knowledgeable as we made our way through one of the most difficult times we have endured as a family. Steve was conscientious and supportive. His clear expertise in his field allowed us to focus on heal ing while as we were able to leave the burden of everything else in his hands . I would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal counsel.

I met Anthony at Country Thunder in April of 2019. After getting cited for a Minor in Consumption, I went over to his booth and he offered to help me out. After the weekend was over I hired him to help get my offense dismissed. With the support from him and his team (emailing and calling me to keep m e updated, and always answering my calls) we got the case dismissed through the diversion program. As a California resident, they made this easy and never needed me to return to Arizona for any reason. Everything was done via phone or email. Thank you for your help and will refer you to any of my friends that are in need of a lawyer!

Anthony was so helpful in walking us through the legal process and explaining different options. He is knowledgeable and experienced in both the law and justice systems and took the time to answer all of our questions. Highly recommend..

I called Mr. Ramirez to determine if he could assist me in a possible civil issue. He returned my call very quickly and offered me good advice on my situation. My specific issue was outside of his expertise. He referred me to an attorney that handles the type of law that I need. Very kind and helpful !

Thank you Anthony for providing excellent information and clarifying the difference between defensive display and brandishing. I came away from this with a better understanding that the difference depends on the circumstance. For example, just touching your overgarment to signal you have a weapon cou ld be construed as brandishing in a situation such as a physical altercation or the person at the gas station asking for money, but not showing any sign of ill intent. On the flipside, someone approaching with a blunt object or themselves displaying a weapon such as a knife and asking for your wallet or car keys would justify a defensive display ranging from notification that you are armed up to a low ready display. As an avid viewer of Active Self Protection and attendee of several of their FLP sponsored webinars as well as these standalone FLP webinars I have learned a lot about self defense situations, namely, that the best defense is avoidance and from there to always use the lowest level of force necessary for the situation, ie verbal to physical to less lethal and lethal only as a last resort(and only if lethal force has been presented by the threat and is still active). All that said, I look forward to more of these webinars in the future, but most of all as an FLP member I am glad you are on my team(although I hope I never need your services).

I started this review with a very long story. Then, realizing I was using the forum to vent my anger at the situation, I started over. The law is not about what is right or fair. It’s money and politics and deceit. Justice does not prevail, but sometimes you get a tiny break. Anthony will be hone st with you, he will address your concerns, and sometimes he’s a little rough. The rough part might piss you off, but listen through your ego to what he is saying. Push back where it makes sense and he will listen. He will work with you, listen to your points, help you understand them in the perspective of the law and legal negotiations and he will always represent you fairly and honestly. He and I tangled a couple times, but he did exactly what I hired him to do. Represent me. Am I happy with the outcome of my case? No. The other side was a massive entity that had, in some manner, compensated witnesses to lie. But - Anthony negotiated a settlement that ensured all my claims were covered and I walked away with the best settlement we could have negotiated. Anthony is smart and he is an excellent resource and advisor. Most of all, he really cares and - if he believes in your case and takes it on, he will represent you to the best of his ability. I would recommend him without reservation.

I highly recommend Attorney Carl Engstrand. When I was involved in a wreck I was on the receiving end of the other person’s insurance company, and although that company was admitting fault, it was obviously in business to cut its losses. I was left feeling frustrated and powerless to adequately rep resent myself without an attorney experienced in accident law on my side. Carl Engstrand was recommended to me. After I called Attorney Engstrand, it was such a relief to turn the situation over to him. I was kept updated in the time frames that had been explained to me. My questions were answered along the way. And, I was extremely pleased with the end result. It was obvious Carl Engstrand cared for the both my medical and financial compensation and well-being. Thank you for your time & attention to my case.

Being an attorney myself, I have high expectations in general, especially regarding representation. Without hesitation, I can report that I received excellent service and communication from the moment I called Carl Engstrand/ALG. ALG provided referrals (who contacted me before I could contact them! ) who also provided excellent service. ALG also kept in constant contact with me, negotiated with a very unresponsive and difficult insurance company and provided timely updates regarding my case. It is always a nice surprise to find a business who advertises great customer service and actually delivers! Thank you Carl and ALG, you guys are the real deal!

Kassandra · personal injury · May 2026

I had a legal question regarding getting into an accident without insurance and Carl was extremely helpful. He took the time out of his day to speak with me even though I wasn't paying him. He answered all my questions during the consultation and even encouraged me to call back if I needed to. He is incredibly professional and if I ever need to hire an accident attorney, he is the one I would turn to.

Robert Casey · personal injury · May 2026

I had no idea what to do when I got in my accident. I had known Carl personally and held him in high regard so I called him. I have nothing but positive to say about my experience with him. I have recommended to him to my friends since and will recommend him in the future.

Theresa · personal injury · May 2026

I was T-boned by an elderly man and didn't think anything could be done except to go through our Insurances to pay for the damage. I saw a commercial advertising ALG and I thought I'd call and get some advise. I met with Carl and instantly felt comfortable with him. He explained everything in detail and took care of everything. Within 6 months the settlement came through. I was very fortunate to meet Carl and his staff. They are very professional and were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend them.
