- ★★★★★A truly reliable lawyer
anonymous · business law ·
In order to shift my business I wasn't exactly sure of what steps to take. Ryan guided me through that expansion process making it a smooth transition. I'm happy to feel secure as my business is now an LLC and I have all the trademarks required. I have Ryan to thank for facilitating all of this. Bec ause he always kept us informed and clearly communicated in timely fashion, I am keeping him on my team!

Marie · personal injury ·
Hired Blake Law Firm for my first car accident with injuries, and so glad I did! My insurance company barely helped me, but Jenny, my lawyer with Blake, fought for me! Got me immediate treatment & a great settlement, way beyond what I expected! All the staff was great answering my many questions!
- ★★★★★Great attorney
Sandra · personal injury ·
I was in a hit and run accident where the other driver hit me and took off. They were never found. I had back and neck injuries and nobody would take my case because it was just my insurance. Blake Law Firm took my case on and fought hard to get me as much money from my under insured and non insured policy as they could. They got me more money than I expected. Thank you Jenny for working hard for me and thank you Erika for being prompt to always respond to my questions comments or concerns. You guys make a great team.

Jodi · estate planning ·
I was referred to Corey Foley, by another attorney and a family member. I lost my mother in January and inherited her property. Needless to say her lenders were not cooperating with my requests and turning an already stressful and devastating situation into a nightmare. From the moment I spoke wit h Corey, he put my mind at ease. During his representation, he was compassionate and thorough and took a huge burden off of my already full plate. I can't say enough great things about him and will continue to refer other people to him. Very grateful for his representation
- ★★★★★Real Estate and Business Attorney
anonymous · business law ·
Corey has been my company’s attorney since before my business opened in 2010. He has handled both real estate and business matters including lease negotiations, operating agreements, and member agreements between me and my business partners. Corey has always taken the time to ensure that all my com pany’s legal needs were properly addressed and considered and he is very knowledgeable and effective in the areas of real estate and business. I highly recommend him.
- ★★★★★One of the Best!
anonymous · litigation ·
Donna is one of the best attorneys you can get. She is very professional, very thorough and leaves no stone un-turned while working your case. She assisted our company in litigation and was able to poke holes in all of the plaintiff's case which left them no where to go but a favorable settlement f or us out of court. You cannot go wrong in hiring Donna.

Chris represented me on my bankruptcy this year. He made sure I understood every step I was going through, and prepared me for the worst. When my bankrupcy was final I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. The outcome of my bankruptcy far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend t his attorney and his associates. They are the best in my opinion.
- ★★★★★Advice for foreclosure

I was very appreciative of the help that Chirs gave me. I was recommended to him by a co-worker and he was very prompt at returning my calls and emails. Very knowledgeable of all my concerns and questions that I had in making the decision to walk away from my house.
- ★★★★★Highly recommend for bankruptcy.

- ★★★★★A+ legal service

She was extremely personable and quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. I felt she was knowledgeable and engaging. I am happy with the help I received regarding my matter.
- ★★★★★Helpful, Assertive & Trustworthy
anonymous ·
Mr. Westby spent over 45 minutes with me in my free consultation answering questions, discussing my options and reviewing my history (which was important in my matter). I now have created a relationship with Mr. Westby that I feel I have a go-to attorney. He impressed me with his high ethical stand ards and his level of professionalism. I trust him completely, and am very thankful I was able to find him.
- ★★★★★Good one, in the end
anonymous · litigation ·
I had some arguments with him, but it turned out that he was right in the end. He sincerely discusses questions about billing and tells you that lawsuit is sometimes not a good solution.
- ★★★★★Good Probate and Real Estate Lawyer
Ben · estate planning ·
Peter Westby assisted me with a real estate transaction and related litigation and an estate plan. He was very aggressive and knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The real estate matter was part of a probate with family members and the problem required a lawyer with good people skills. He did an exc ellent job in all of the matters that I have asked him to handle for me
- ★★★★★Attorney for Elder
Judith · estate planning ·
While my Mother was in the end of her life, she wanted to be sure she had "her ducks in a row" for me. There were many legalities that needed attention that she had already attempted to address and plan. During the last week of her life she insisted her will and be reviewed by a local attorney to ass ure it would be recognized in Arizona, as it had been written when I was still a minor in another state. I was able to contact Platt & Westby through their website, able to speak with Mr. Westby over the phone, and schedule a free consultation with their firm. The time Mr. Rahtz took to answer more questions than just "is this will ok for Arizona?", and the patience and compassion shown was so genuine. The firm never asked nor expected me to pay for the consultation. The experience of tending to all the legalities up to that point had been overwhelming. Mr. Rahtz was able to set MY mind, and my Mother's at ease. We will be using Platt & Westby to prepare my wife's and my wills, DPOAs, living wills, MPOAHCs, all due to the prompt reply and compassion shown me during a very difficult time in our lives.
- ★★★★★Honest and genuine

Peter Westby understood my situation and provided me with carefully crafted and useful advice - true to his profile on his website, he is very honest. would recommend him to anyone
- ★★★★★300 dollars for a 30 minute hour long consult with an unprepared lawyer
Alan · business law ·
Was pretty unimpressed with my experience here. The lawyer, Mr. Degnan, seemed very unprepared for our meeting which was a 300 dollar hour long consult and I felt the whole time he was just trying to rush me out. I could quickly tell he hadn't read the documentation or lease I had sent him based on a couple questions I asked early in the meeting. He barely seemed to know much at all, accurately, of my current situation. His solution to my situation was for him to quickly write up some draft of a letter he said I should send the business I was having an issue with and just kind of left that as the answer "here I wrote up what you should say just send them a letter like this." No talk of what could happen after that, how I should follow up based on how the business replies to that letter, what the consequences of the letter could be, nothing really. Just here real quick send a letter like this to them, that's what you should do - followed by like a facial expression of hope that I would just be satisfied with that and leave. Which, eventually, I did since he seemed so disinterested in the whole thing. He also had to get up literally 5 or 6 times to print out general laws that apply to the situation I was in since, as I said, he was unprepared. So, 300 dollars for 30 minutes of a lawyer that seemed ready for me to be out the door the second I came in. It was clear he didn't see my case as something he would want to take on, which is completely fine with me. But at least be prepared and give me the time I'm paying for. Put some actual effort into the person who is paying for your time. I would give 1 star, but I'm giving 2 because he was at least open to me emailing him follow-up questions after the meeting which I thought was cool.
- ★★★★★Skilled, Knowledgeable and Wins!
Pati · real estate ·
It was a privilege to have Mr. Degnan and his law firm represented us in a recent real estate matter. He is open, communicates well, makes sure his clients understand exactly what is occurring, professional yet friendly, expeditious, fair in his fees, compassionate and provides advice that is guided by the law and his legal experience. His staff were extremely helpful at a moments notice. I would highly recommend his services!
- ★★★★★Wrongful liens
anonymous · real estate ·
My case involved liens being placed on my home by a man I didn't know or ever did business with. I eventually lost this home to a foreclosure as I was unable to refinance due to the wrongful liens. The Attorney never offered to take my case so he wasn't hired. I looked into to it myself and believe m y statutes of limitations is up as it was seven years ago.
- ★★★★★Knowledgeable, reasonable, prompt
Donald May · real estate ·
I found Mr. Degnan on yelp. I needed a good real estate attorney in a hurry to review papers for a closing. He was amazingly through and prompt. His secretary Caralee makes doing business with him an extra pleasure. Oh, on other thing... he is super reasonable!
- ★★★★★Foreclosure
Leslie · real estate ·
Mr. Degnan is very professional and wise. Highly recommend his service. My situation was a mess and he listened to ALL the details and helped in all the ways possible. I was dealing with a horrible realtor from AZ & Associates Real Estate Group that the state had assigned to my case. They where to protect my credit and made one poor decision after another. Mr. Degnan was amazing, he came up with brilliant ideas and solutions and was the one that had the right idea to get the property sale to close before being foreclosed. Mr. Degnan's education and seemingly endless resources also stopped the realtor from putting me in further damaging situations. I am indebted to him. Thank you thank you.
- ★★★★★Where the “Good Guy” Finishes First.
Jennifer · litigation ·
From onset to resolution, Jon oversaw my case and stepped in as needed to mentor the team. Jon as a seasoned expert naturally gravitates to the heart of the matter and brilliantly deduces strategy or on-the-spot follow up questions within depositions and court proceedings. I certainly see Jon as th e honorable judge earning the respect of the court, his peers, and his clients. While I am veteran, this is the first time that I felt I had a guardian and for that, Jon, you have my heartfelt gratitude.
- ★★★★★Awesome
Brian Sopatyk · real estate ·
I’m 74 years old, a property owner since 1971 and have dealt with real estate attorneys in Idaho and Arizona. To make a long story short … wish we would have meet years earlier. Jonathan and Jacob both represented me with several HOA matters. Butted heads a bit but took the time to straighten me out to best understand the law and the process. Became very evident they had our best business interests in mind. During court proceedings, I was absolutely awestruck with the knowledge of the cases and how it was represented. Awesome!!!!

Our HOA sued us over our addition due to a setback violation. We had never had to retain a lawyer before in our lives and suddenly we were in a panic. We contacted Jon Dessaules from Dessaules Law Group and from the first conversation we knew we had come to the right place. Jon knew from exper ience the possible outcomes and walked us through what would most likely happen. Before our initial conversation, Jon took the time to review the facts about the case and various documents we had provided. We had interviewed 3 other law firms and even started down the road with one of them. The experience with Dessaules Law was night and day. We saw immediate results and even saw a difference in how our HOA began treating us. The HOA went from being arrogant, standoffish, and demanding we tear down our addition to back channeling for a settlement. Jon and his team gave clear answers to our questions and provided straight forward guidance on the best way to proceed with the case. When we gave suggestions or feedback it was incorporated where appropriate. Dessaules Law handled our case in Tucson flawlessly (even though they are 2 hours away in Phoenix). We began the case worried we would have to tear down our entire addition and start over. We ended with a settlement where we did not have to change a thing. We couldn’t be happier with Dessaules Law and Highly recommend them.
- ★★★★★Superhero: brilliant, protector, responsive, professional, and great value
Anngelica · real estate ·
Mr. Dessaules and his team (in addition to Jonathan: Douglas and Hilary have also been exceptionally helpful) have provided me with patient, timely, responsive, highly-competent, skilled, and fairly-priced representation. I am a licensed AZ attorney who practices in a very different area of law an d came to a point where I found myself far outside my professional realm of comfort, requiring assistance relating to a personal and emotional HOA problem, which necessitated that I secure retention of an attorney with substantial experience dealing in plaintiff HOA issues & real estate law. I conducted some basic solo research via the trusty Google machine to find the right person to help me, ultimately identifying, requesting assistance from, then retaining Mr. Dessaules. Prior to discussing my specific problem with him then seeking his engagement, I did not know him, his firm, or the reputations of either. I found myself in a rather embarrassing professional place: in a position where I felt it necessary to ask another local attorney with whom I was not familiar to professionally represent me because I required help with a situation that was outside my scope of expertise. This was not a professional favor or courtesy; I approached him as a stranger/hopeful client who needed help and he and his staff immediately acknowledged my announced embarrassment, very casually minimized it to make the situation easier for me, and carried me through, achieving a better outcome for me than I had hoped for from the outset. The situation was emotional for me so I must shamefully admit that Mr. Dessaules had to deal with a bad/emotional client at times. Throughout, (and unlike me) Mr. Dessaules never lost composure or professionalism but stayed the course, responding on weekends and evenings, while working to negotiate the best possible outcome for me, treating me with respect, very timely attention and response, and ultimately negotiated a better outcome for me than I even hoped for or requested upon engaging him. Mr. Dessaules has handled my representation with exceeding professionalism and grace. I regard him and his team as highly-skilled within their HOA/real estate area of specialty, which represents the limit of my experience with him and his firm. I admire and respect Mr. Dessaules and his firm's professionalism, work product, and find his billing practices to be uncommonly fair. Fan for life. I have proudly referred him to two people requiring assistance with real estate/HOA representation and as a similarly-situated professional working within an adjacent sandbox, he is, without hesitation, the go-to plaintiff HOA or real estate litigation attorney specialist based on my personal experience with another professional with whom I share a the same licensure.
- ★★★★★Jonathan A. Dessaules
Susan · real estate ·
Best attorney ever! I had a horrible experience with my hoa not releasing old liens and double billing during litigation. We went back and forth for 13 years until I hired Jonathan Dessaules as my hoa attorney within 2 months my liens were released and my ledger was zero. I highly recommend any is sues you may have with your hoa hire him do not try to fight on your own the laws are easily mis leading hard to understand he knew every law Jonathan was able explain why it was not right to me and he was able to have it cleared up fast. I had an almost 6000 ledger go to zero for my family to truly start fresh! I wish I found him in 2010 would have saved me so much more.
