Personal Injury

The Law Office of Richard L. Strohm assists clients who have suffered a personal injury in Phoenix due to an automobile accident, car crashes, bike accident, or truck accidents.  If you have been harmed as a result of someone else's wrongful or negligent act, you may be entitled to recover for the damages you have suffered, including medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.  An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you preserve your rights and obtain the compensation you deserve. 

If you have been injured in an accident, seek advice from a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.  An attorney can act quickly to gather evidence before it becomes lost, such as interviewing witnesses before their memories fade or they can no longer be located.  Furthermore, a two-year statute of limitations applies in Arizona, meaning that your right to make a claim disappears after two years have passed since the accident.  At the Law Office of Richard L. Strohm, we can protect your rights by safeguarding all evidence and helping you make a timely and proper claim for damages.  Contact us today for a free initial consultation.

Wrongful Death

If you have lost a loved one in a car, truck, or bicycle accident, seek advice from an attorney experienced in handling wrongful death cases.  Wrongful death allows certain family members to make a claim for damages against the person or persons who negligently or intentionally caused the victim's death.  In Arizona, compensation for loss of love and companionship, grief and emotional suffering, lost services and income, funeral expenses, and medical costs are all potentially recoverable.  At the Law Office of Richard L. Strohm, we have considerable experience assisting family members through this difficult time, helping them obtain the compensation they need for their comfort and security after a tragic loss.  Contact us for a free initial consultation.

Professional Malpractice

The Law Office of Richard L. Strohm represents clients throughout Arizona in medical and legal malpractice claims.  Everyone owes a duty of care to be careful not to harm others, but doctors and lawyers owe a heightened duty of care to their patients and clients.  When these professionals fail to live up to the expected standard, they can be found liable for damages caused by their negligence or misconduct.

In a medical malpractice case, also known as medical negligence, the plaintiff must show that the doctor breached a duty of care owed to the patient and as a result, the patient suffered injury.  Common medical negligence cases arise as a result of misdiagnosis or improper diagnosis, overmedication, improper medication, unreasonable delay in treatment, and other errors.

In a legal malpractice case, the plaintiff must show that the attorney breached the duty of care owed to the client.  There are a number of ways these claims can arise.  Commonly, for example, an attorney fails to timely file a claim or brief on behalf of the client, causing the client to lose the case.  Many other breaches can give rise to a cause of action for legal malpractice, such as where an attorney fails to disclose a conflict of interest or takes action that would be considered adverse to the client's best interests.  If you suspect that you have been the victim of professional malpractice, contact us today for a free initial consultation.

Civil Rights Violations

The United States and Arizona constitutions both provide for certain civil rights that are guaranteed to all citizens, including free speech, the right to peaceful assembly, and the right to trial by jury.  Under both U.S. and Arizona law, discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin is illegal.  In particular, the law protects individuals from this type of discrimination in housing and employment. 

The Law Office of Richard L. Strohm has brought numerous successful claims on behalf of individuals whose civil rights were violated.  If you feel that you have been the subject of illegal discrimination, or if you feel your civil rights have been violated in some way, we can help you explore your options and advocate on your behalf before a government agency or the court.  Contact us today for a free initial consultation.

Business Law

In business transactions, it is vital to have impeccable document drafting, including clear and unambiguous language that fully achieves your business goals, and minimizes the chances of future disagreements.  However, despite the best efforts of parties to a business deal, disputes inevitably arise on occasion. 

The Law Office of Richard L. Strohm handles a range of business law matters, encompassing both transactions and litigation.  We have significant experience handling business formations and advising clients in contract negotiations, and regularly represent parties in breach of contract claims, partnership disputes, and an array of other business litigation matters.  With over 34 years of litigation experience, we offer outstanding trial representation at all levels, including state and federal courts of appeals.  Additionally, we have extensive experience successfully resolving business disputes through alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as informal settlement negotiations and mediation.
