Avery Crossman has been exclusively practicing Arizona Worker's Comp law since 1994. She is a State Bar Board Certified Worker's Compensation Specialist, past Co-Chair of the State Bar Worker's Comp Law Section, and current President of the Arizona Association of Lawyers for Injured Workers. She has served as a faculty member at the State Bar Seminar on Professionalism, has spoken at seminars on Worker's Compensation sponsored by the Industrial Commission of Arizona and is serving as a Judge Pro Tempore appointed by the Arizona Supreme Court.

Ms. Crossman has been given an "AV" Martindale-Hubbell Review Rating. According to Martindale-Hubbell, this ranking is a "testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence." An attorney cannot receive this ranking until he or she has been admitted to the bar for 10 years or more.

Mark Breyer has been practicing law with his wife, Alexis, since 1996. They, from the start, have only focused on injury and wrongful death cases.

Mark is a certified specialist in injury and wrongful death law. This distinction has been awarded to him by the State Bar of Arizona. Less than 2% of attorneys have this distinction.

Mark also has received the highest possible ranking from Martindale Hubbell, a renowned legal source for over 100 years. This award symbolizes the highest legal ability and highest ethics.

Mark lvoes to go to trial and fight for the little guy. Breyer Law Offices is known for taking cases to trial and winning. Mark settles most of his cases but the insurance companies know that he is ready for the fight. Breyer Law Offices strives to help the little guy against the big insurance companies.

Clark Watkin has been a trial lawyer for over 30 years, representing clients throughout Arizona with the expertise, sound judgment and "street sense" acquired "in the trenches" as a trial attorney. He began his career as a felony prosecutor and has spent the balance of his career handling complex civil cases in the State and Federal Courts. He is dedicated to providing his clients prompt, professional, courteous and fairly-priced services, direct attorney-client communications, and something even more important -- results.
Individualized strategies

Every client and every matter - from serious personal injury accidents and wrongful death claims, to commercial litigation involving business, real estate and construction lawsuits - receives an individual assessment and analysis, along with a litigation strategy custom-designed to fit the facts, and satisfy the client's goals.

I am grateful to have worked in and experienced the processes of large firm bankruptcy practices. The lack of personal service and caring between attorneys and clients was a driving factor in starting my own legal practice. Clients should trust that their bankruptcy attorney is available when they need him, not be pawned off to a secretary or paralegal. My concern for each client drives my pursuit for personal service.

Beyond the improved attorney-client relationship, less overhead costs yield more competitive fees. My primary objective is to provide clients with the most competent services at an affordable price. My firm’s mission is to provide the level of comfort and communication each client deserves while achieving the maximum advantage during the bankruptcy.

I have filed hundreds of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. I have submitted several Chapter 13 bankruptcy plans and have received confirmations after Trustee’s recommendations. I have represented hundreds of clients in 341 meeting of creditors and 2004 examinations.
I have appeared before every Bankruptcy Court judge sitting in the Federal Bankruptcy Court of Arizona, always advocating for my clients with unyielding diligence and candor.

I have negotiated favorable settlement agreements with creditor attorneys to help clients keep their personal possessions. Clients can rest assured that they are in good hands.

I help people force insurance companies to give them what they deserve.

I usually work with people who have been hurt, like in a car crash, once they realize that the insurance company is not their "good neighbor" or that they are not in "good hands."

I represent people throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area and the State of Arizona, including residents of the following cities:

Mesa AZ

Scottsdale AZ
Chandler AZ
