About Plattner Verderame, P.C.

Meaningful Personal Service, High Quality Legal Care

Plattner Verderame, P.C., was formed in April 1991 when attorneys Richard S. Plattner and Frank Verderame merged their practices. Their shared vision was to create a firm where injured people could find the high quality legal services needed to obtain just compensation — and skilled advocates who not only cared about their cause or their case, but who cared about them as people too.

Today, that vision is a reality for honest people with honest injuries here in Arizona, and throughout the United States as well.

The work we do is about helping people overcome the challenges associated with serious injuries, whether caused by car crashes, hazardous chemicals or medications, sexual abuse and other kinds of damaging life events. Our first priority is always helping our clients. In the process, we see that obtaining individual justice improves the public good by promoting social and personal responsibility, encouraging the development of safer products, and safeguarding the rights of every seriously injured person to obtain justice through the American legal system.

Our Practice

The focus of our law firm is getting justice for people who have been seriously harmed by the negligence or wrongful actions of others.

We place added importance on advocacy in the courtroom because we know that insurance companies take notice and generally pay more to people who are represented by a law firm that has demonstrated it is ready, willing and able to present a case powerfully at trial.

Some of the other important assets that have led other lawyers to rely on and refer difficult or unique cases to Plattner Verderame for nearly two decades now include:

  • Board Certified Specialists in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation
  • AV rated* founding attorneys with more than 60 years of combined experience, recognized in Best Lawyers In America, Southwest Super Lawyers, Law Dragons, etc.
  • The financial resources needed to adequately prepare and present complex cases involving commercial trucks, medical negligence and defective products
  • Established working relationships with top experts on subjects such as medicine and particular types of injuries, economics, and engineering
  • "Lawyers' lawyers" — we are frequently invited to lecture and write articles for other trial lawyers about substantive legal issues, persuasion and legal ethics.

Whether you were injured in an auto accident in Arizona, or by a dangerous pharmaceutical drug thousands of miles away — our law firm has the experience, skills and resources you'll need on your side in the weeks and months ahead. If you're an honest person with honest injuries, we're a law firm that wants to help you.

We handle all of our personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you won't owe us anything unless we obtain a verdict or settlement on your behalf.
