- ★★★★★Real Estate Law
Fred · real estate ·
Just by chance, I was referred to the law office of Collette Nicole Pelcic by a Real Estate Agent in Sun City West, Arizona. Nicole is very professional and was able to take complicated legal issues and explain it to me in a way that helped me make good decisions. I couldn’t believe how quickly she responded to my inquiries. I felt she always had my best interest and even sighted cases, that to me, showed her extreme knowledge of real estate law. Being retired and on a limited income, Nicole seemed aware of my situation and was very conscientious and fair.
- ★★★★★Outstanding and Highly Recommend
John & Terri · business law ·
Collette Nicole Pelcic is a GREAT LAWYER! She is a fair and compassionate lawyer who takes her duties to represent you strongly. She works hard to achieve the best outcome. Nicole represented us on a Big Company vs. Small Business case and did a great job to ensure that all the true facts were pre sented and the false information alleged by the plaintiff was exposed. We the Small Business won, the case against us was dismissed with prejudice! Perfect outcome!! We can’t thank this extremely talented lawyer enough!
- ★★★★★HOA issues.. look no further
Conrad · real estate ·
Jacob was a referral of a referral from my real estate agent. We had a serious and complex issue with our HOA and Jacob assisted tremendously. Extremely knowledgeable and articulated everything that was easily digestible.
- ★★★★★Knowledgeable, Responsive and Expert Guidance
anonymous · real estate ·
I highly recommend Jake Kubert at Dessaules Law Group for any real estate legal matters. He provided expert guidance on my short-term rental home and skillfully handled an earnest money dispute. Jake was always available, answering my calls promptly and keeping me informed throughout the process. His expertise and professionalism were invaluable, and he successfully guided us through the mediation process with confidence and precision. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and responsive real estate attorney, Jake is the best!
- ★★★★★Our Super Hero!
anonymous · real estate ·
Jacob Kubert, try Google and you will get a glimpse of the BEST homeowners’ attorney in Phoenix. Next to his picture is an image of Superman, and that is who Jake is to us, a SUPERHERO. After being harassed for 2 years by a neighbor and our HOA, we fortunately found Jake. For previous two years we fended off frivolous complaints that repeatedly required going before the board, yet none of the alleged violations lead to a single fine since it turned out, there were NO rule violations. New rules adopted, enforced without proper notice with immediate fines regardless of best and good faith efforts to meet the rules with nothing settled. Even after being inspected, no violation was ever identified. Jake made clear the options: submit to the ‘new’ rules and pay the fines, take over the board and change the rules, or sue the association in superior court. When it became obvious that even submitting to the new rules and paying the fines would just bring about something else (like trying to evict our dog!) and taking over the board was impossible, we were left with only one option. We sued. Three weeks after Jake came on the case plus one year to the day that we filed our lawsuit, Jake helped us settle the case on extremely favorable terms through mediation. Jake’s description and plan of action during our first couple of weeks of discussions is exactly what came to pass. There were never any surprises. He told us what we could expect. He laid out our options. And he would not withhold bad news. He told us the truth – good or bad – so we could make an informed decision. Without Jacob Kubert, we would still be fighting with the board. He got the HOA off our back and recovered everything we paid out to lawyers to defend ourselves. We couldn’t have done any of this without him and are thankful we found him.
- ★★★★★An HONEST and TRUSTWORTHY Attorney
Jeffrey ·
Jacob Kubert is excellent at what he does! He handled my case with professionalism and was extremely easy to work with. He turned my stressful/worrisome situation into a relief filled/hassle free process and outcome. He had my back and I trusted him entirely. He is and excellent listener and it is ob vious he is passionate about his profession and he cares about his client and stands up for what is right. If it were the case, I would also consider this man to be a good and loyal friend to anyone, outside of only having a professional relationship with him. I 11/10 recommend Jake and his practice and will definitely be coming to him again should I have any need for a lawyer in the future.
- ★★★★★Highly recommend

Jake has provided me with sound legal advice on how to handle issues with my HOA. He is knowledgeable and straight to the point. He informed me of my options and gave me recommendations on how to proceed. I hope to not have to hire an attorney for my current situation. However, if I do, I will defini tely hire Jake. I appreciate all the information he has provided me.

Attorney Alisa Gray and her staff were phenomenal in representing us with our Dads Conservatorship 8 years ago as well as recently with our Successor Co-guardianship. They communicated well, prepared documents in a timely manner and were kind and thoughtful with their approach to us in what was a ve ry emotional situation. We are forever grateful to Alisa and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a competent, well spoken and thoughtful attorney.

Tyson · environmental law ·
Jerry has helped me several times on new retail developments . I had a closing in which the anchor Tenant found a small amount of toxic in the soils reprot and put the whole deal on hold potentially costing millions if the deal didn't close. I called Jerry who in turn reached out their corporate co uncil back east and began working thru the issues to resolve as quickly as possible. What could have cost me months of delay and back and forth legal work was instead only 2 weeks and just a follow up environmental report for the Anchor Tenant to be satisfied with to proceed forward with closing. Jerry calm approach carried me through this very stressful episode that could have been a disaster.
- ★★★★★Work on Texas City Property Acquisition
Bret · bankruptcy ·
Jerry provided valuable legal services on the Texas City International Terminal acquisition by Phoenix International Terminal, LLC. This property was known as the former Tex Tin Smelter Superfund Site. It was purchased out of Bankruptcy, and with Jerry's assistance, the Settling Parties completed the remediation and the Site was formally removed from Superfund status with deed restrictions, so it could be redeveloped.
- ★★★★★2015 SAEMS RCRA Seminar - Targeted Compliance Speaker
anonymous · government law ·
Jerry presented at the SAEMS RCRA Seminar. He presented on penalties and outcomes when dealing with regulators. His presentation was fact-based and provided attendees with great information as well as helpful hints on what to do next when in certain situations. He also provided additional hand-out ma terials. I would recommend him to speak at another seminar.
- ★★★★★Environmental Compliance Review
Jeff Bradshaw · environmental law ·
Jerry was tasked with conducting an environmental compliance audit and review of conformance to ISO 14001 Legal and Other regulatory requirements for our facility in New Mexico. Jerry did an outstanding job of completing both tasks efficiently and on-budget. Jerry has extensive environmental knowle dge and experience, knows well how to navigate complex regulatory issues and is great to work with.
- ★★★★★A Very Competent Environmental Attorney
Nate · environmental law ·
Jerry's expertise and assistance with an "environmentally challenged" development site was invaluable. He was able to effectively navigate the process involved in obtaining a Prospective Purchaser Agreement (PPA) from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). This agreement was instrume ntal in our ability to mitigate the risk associated with purchasing and developing the site. His involvement with other aspects of the site's environmental condition and the associated responsible party was critical Jerry is competent and personable - two traits not always found in legal council. I'm looking forward to working with him again.
- ★★★★★Civil Case
David · litigation ·
Matt consulted me on a very important civil matter. I felt out of options and Matt provided all of the assistance I needed and then some. Matt was far more knowledgeable about my options than anyone else I spoke with and put me in a position to get everything resolved. I strongly recommend Matt to a nyone in need of legal advice.
- ★★★★★Personal Injury
Angela · personal injury ·
I worked with Matthew Anderson in 2009 after getting into a car accident and suffering from back issues. I spent about a year in physical therapy trying to recover from the accident which was very time consuming and stressful. My medical bills were adding up and a friend suggested that I reach out to Matthew, and I was happy that I did. I was very nervous about the time and effort it would take to use a lawyer but Matt made the process comfortable and easy for me. He took his time to walk me through the process and helped me to understand my options. In the end, Matthew successfully won my case and I was able to pay off all of my medical bills. I would highly recommend Matthew Anderson, he was extremely professional, efficient and makes the process simple.
- ★★★★★General

Matt helped me resolve a sensitive legal matter that required low publicity. He was instrumental in achieving a very favorable outcome. Matt was responsive, highly skilled, and he did not allow the case to languish. I highly recommend Matt to anyone in need of strong legal representation.

Marrandi ·
Shifa has been amazing and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She goes above and beyond for her clients! Professional , hardworking , and very good communication.
- ★★★★★Quick and Easy Experience
Delaney · employment law ·
Working with HKM was a very easy process. I was having issues at work and Shifa was quick to help and answered all my questions. She worked quickly to be in contact with others and kept in touch with me regularly to keep me updated. Hopefully I never have any other concerns or issues but if I do, I w ill be contacting her.
- ★★★★★10/10 Would Hire Again
Adam · employment law ·
I recently hired Mrs. Alkhatib to represent me in my employment case. I can't say enough positive things. First, she was methodical and strategic. She was able to dig into my case to determine the best strategy almost immediately. She then discussed the different options and the process that she felt would return the best results for me while leaving all my options available. She was very strategic in her communications with my employer's attorney and this produced the result I was looking for. Ms. Alkhatib's experience, knowledge, and ability to advise and guide me were exactly what I needed. I would recommend her for anyone in need of an employment law attorney.

I had a GREAT experience with Shifa! Upon reaching out to her, I had a meeting within the week, and my issue (that had been ongoing for over seven weeks) was resolved within ONE week of my consultation! So grateful for my experience, 10/10 would recommend.
- ★★★★★More Than I Could've Ever Asked for in an Attorney
Chris · employment law ·
After researching for two weeks, I chose to work with HKM Employment Attorneys and was paired with Shifa Alkhatib. At that time of choosing an attorney, I was very nervous and after talking to two other attorneys and then Shifa with HKM, I finally felt a little more settled with my decisions and only more as time passed. Before even moving forward with the case, Shifa ensured I had all the information up front, all my questions were answered, and everything I needed was done to perfection. (All the while I was dealing with massive PTSD and anxiety, in which I cannot begin to speak enough on how incredibly she handled me during such a hard time in my life, if not the hardest). I'd never dealt with anything before, like the issues I'd faced with this employer.. Shifa Alkhatib made me feel as though she truly had my best interest at heart. She understood what I was trying to accomplish, explaining everything along the way in full detail (which was very important to me as a VERY detail oriented person). I never had to wait to be contacted, she was always on the ball, on time and far exceeded what I had ever expected in an attorney, her communication skills far exceeded what I imagined! Now I may have taken the cake for her most difficult case, or close to it... However with the rapport Shifa built with me, the trust, respect (which is my biggest thing) and communication; I was able to finally let go of most of my anxiety surrounding it all, (solely because of my trust in Shifa) and just let it be what it would. She fought with every last legal tactic she had at her disposal, using outside professionals, consulting her partner etc. In the end, the case settled out of court and I could never say enough good things about Shifa and her team at HKM Employment Attorneys! Enough so, that yes, my case may have been her most/more difficult case(s), but regardless, she worked harder than I could've ever asked for or imagined. So yes, after everything was said an done I brought the office some donuts and a card, and Shifa, flowers and card with a thank you gift. Because that's what you do in my book when you're as grateful as I am.
- ★★★★★My discovery of Marc Windtberg was the longshot that paid big!
lcyber · real estate ·
I first learned, of the possibility of obtaining surplus proceeds, from a friend, of a friend, of a friend. The fact that this led to me to Marc, was the longshot. In the motion (petition) that Marc filed, there were others that "jumped in", claiming they were entitled to a portion of the surplu s proceeds. Marc prevailed in obtaining the entire amount on my behalf. I had just one attorneys name, I hired him, problem solved! I call it "One & Done"! I believe that doing something right the first time is of utmost importance and I discovered the same in Marc Windtberg. ( on a more personal note: Marc was understanding of the fragile mental and physical position I was in.....knowing the home I had lived in for 20yrs, had just been sold at Sheriff's auction ) I had no idea of the how-when-where of collecting surplus proceeds and even if I was eligible to obtain them. Thank you Marc. And to anyone who finds themselves with legal questions, concerns, or having been served and involved in a lawsuit...... I recommend consulting with Windtberg & Zdancewicz first.
- ★★★★★Marc Steven Windtberg
Eliott · litigation ·
Marc is cogent and particular. He is thoughtful regarding the desired outcome and the needs of the client. Marc has prosecuted dozens of cases for my small company and we are in debt to his expertise. I would highly recommend him.
- ★★★★★Honesty and Integrity
Scott · business law ·
Marc Windtberg is the truth. He has handled situations involving my company and myself personally. The one thing that I have noticed that separates him from other lawyers, is he genuinely cares about you and your case. That is a quality you do not often find with lawyers today.
- ★★★★★Excellent Attorney!

- ★★★★★Personal Injury Case

I highly recommend Mr. Gallagher. His commitment to his clients is obvious. Mr. Gallagher assisted my husband and I on a personal injury case. He is hardworking and dedicated to achieving unprecedented results.
- ★★★★★Thanks for all your help Garrick!

Garrick helped me with a difficult situation after I had a cycling accident that resulted in a serious injury that required two surgeries. His experience and wisdom in these matters made a profound difference in the resolution of my case which involved a large and well known bicycle manufacturer.
- ★★★★★Garrick Gallagher made the Big Insurance Co see my Dad as a Person, not just the deceased
anonymous · personal injury ·
When my father died in a pedestrian/vehicle accident, no one seemed to care. My brother and I were grown children, so the hurt in the insurance companies eyes, was less. Well, not in Mr. Gallaghers eyes. He treated our family and most importantly my father the deceased with care and respect. He k new we had a tragic loss and he really became a friend as well. He fought hard for us and didn't give up, even when it looked like we should. We were never left to wonder what was happening with our case. Garrick or someone from his staff was constantly in touch with us. Thanks to Mr Gallagher and his team not only are we taken care of , but all of my father's grandchildren will be going to college, which was my father's dream. We will never be able to thank Garrick and his team enough.
- ★★★★★Outstanding Lawyer - Excellent Firm
anonymous · business law ·
I have used Garrick Gallagher and his firm for over 20 years for insurance defense work. He is an outstanding lawyer and litigator. He is always extremely communicative and responsive. The file is never overworked - Garrick is good at getting to the heart of the matter and providing a very sound e valuation of both liability and damages. Billings are fair, honest, and reasonable. The ethics of Garrick and the firm are beyond reproach. I would never hesitate to recommend Garrick for any case from moderately complex to extremely complex.
- ★★★★★What an amazing team!!!
Lisa · employment law ·
Words can not express how thankful I am that I hired Josh Black to deal with a workplace FLSA issue. Both Josh and his assistant, Meghann went above and beyond to ensure my case was well researched and involved me in every step of the way. They were very attentive and helped me to understand how th ey were planning to tackle the issue at hand. They helped put me at ease and handled everything very professionally. I hope I never need an attorney to represent me again over a work place issue but if I did, I would go right back to Josh and Meghann!!!
- ★★★★★Great lawyer who cares about the client
anonymous · employment law ·
I consulted Joshua on a separation of employment letter I received from my company. I set an initial consultation and he was very thorough and answered all my questions. Even though my consultaion was only for one hour, he stayed with me past it to make sure that all my questions were answered. Truly knowledgeable and personable. I would use his services again if I ever needed to.
- ★★★★★Great Lawyer and Staff
anonymous · employment law ·
I came to Joshua Black's office because I believed I had been wrongfully terminated by my employer. Josh, Greg and Nancy made me feel very welcomed. They worked on my case for over 9 months until they finally reached a settlement for my case. They were very helpful and pleasant to work with. I wou ld definately recommend this law office.
- ★★★★★Satisfied Client
Rozetta · employment law ·
I had the pleasure of hiring Mr. Black for a legal matter with an employer. Mr. Black was very thoughtful, engaging, open, honest and well knowledge in his field. I am thankful to have had this office represent me with my case. The service I received was exceptional. Mr. Black offered his time off th e clock to ensure I was comfortable with any updates. Thankyou Mr. Black for all of your hard work and dedication. I am so glad I choose you after interviewing several other attorneys! I would also like to thank Nancy! She was very pleasant to speak with and always had my best interest in mind. I thank her for going above and beyond prior to the Christmas holidays to make sure the necessary paperwork was in place. I wish nothing but success and longevity for this practice. I pray, I never need this type of service again and anyone else for that matter but unfortunately, we live in a world that people are still unjustly treated. If you are reading this and find yourself in a position that feels unfair and against the law I urge to give the Attorney Office of Joshua Black a call, he is one the best and honest around metro Phoenix. You will not regret it! Sincerely, A Vey Pleased and Happy Client! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I brought some very complicated legal matters to Joshua Black. Not only did Mr Black act professional, honest and knowledgeable; he had compassion in dealing with me and he helped me sort out the details through my convoluted legal matter. Josh is a top notch attorney who cares about people.
- ★★★★★Mr. Zoldan is a master at his craft
Cherice · employment law ·
Mr. Zoldan is a master at his craft. He knows when to strike and get the top dollar for claims. I highly recommend him to negotiate severance agreements. We filled with the EEOC and everything he predicted came to fruition. Great Phoenix Arizona Employment Lawyer.
- ★★★★★5 Stars Isn't Enough!!!
anonymous · employment law ·
Where do I even begin.... I was actually referred to Mike Pettiti by another law firm when trying to inquire on the legality of a unilateral change to my company's existing PTO policy. Upon contacting the office to speak with Mike, at the time he was unavailable so I was transferred to Erin who I inf ormed of the concern that I had with my company and if it in fact violated any Arizona employment laws. She was an absolute pleasure, very thorough, asked several questions and obtained details surrounding my situation to see what legal options, if any, I had moving forward. A few days later, my employer found out that I had consulted with an attorney and subsequently, I was sent home from work and then terminated the following day. The 10 months that would follow my termination were an absolute nightmare. Murphy's Law, anything that could have gone wrong, did. I was a single mother facing being homeless after an eviction and repossession of my vehicle, all due to my loss of employment. In addition to my financial struggles, I was in the middle of a less than respectful legal matter in family court surrounding custody of my child. Mike and his team were one of few silver linings that I had throughout this hard time in my life, an absolute Godsend! Through the duration of my case Mike and his team went back and forth with claims through the EEOC for sexual harassment and gender discrimination and claims with the NLRB for wrongful termination and retaliation. He made every effort to accommodated my schedule, no email or phone call went without response. He worked around the clock to ensure that my questions were answered and I was informed and updated on the progress of my case. Nearly 10 months later, to the day, I am happy to say that Mike and his Firm were able to reach a settlement with my previous employer and I can finally put all this behind me. I pray that I never find myself in a similar situation with a future employer but, if I do, I can rest assured that I will be in good hands with Mike Petitti and the staff at Aiken Schenk Hawkins & Ricciardi. He is an absolutely amazing attorney and the integrity of both him and the Firm, far exceeded my expectations!
- ★★★★★Great Consultation
anonymous · business law ·
Dealing with a potential breach of contract with a former contractor, which has been stressful to say the least. I arranged for a consult with Mr. Zoldan and couldn't have asked or expected more. He was very honest in what we could expect, as well as what we could do to minimize our exposure. Utmost professionalism and I will be sure to contact him again if the need arises. I strongly recommend his services.
- ★★★★★Won a HUUUUUGE Settlement
Cindy · employment law ·
Mr. Zoldan won me a ton of money for a sexual harassment suit against a fortune 200 company. It was a long time coming and I feel vindicated in my results. He took me through the EEOC into filing a lawsuit in Federal Court and then settling at mediation. The process was explained to me perfectly a nd the results were better than expected. Mr. Zoldan fights for the people who don't know the law and have little voices out there over big corporations.
- ★★★★★HIghly recommended
Stephen · employment law ·
Mr. Zoldan recently advised me on how to handle separation and severance from my former employer. His advice helped me through a difficult time.
