Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a Civil Action?

    A civil action is a lawsuit brought to enforce, restore or protect private rights, most commonly, for monetary relief.  The terms “civil action” and “lawsuit” are interchangeable.  Most civil actions involve claims arising out of breach of contract, motor vehicle accidents, malpractice, or other negligence.

  • What is the first step to start a lawsuit?

    The filing of a complaint with the clerk of the court starts a lawsuit.  A complaint is a formal written statement filed by the party who starts the lawsuit, which states the party’s grievance.  This may be done by an individual or his/her legal counsel.

  • When does compulsory arbitration apply?

    Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution where an independent third party, not a judge, hears the case and determines the result. A person who brings a lawsuit in Arizona is required to fill out a form stating the type and estimated value of damages they seek. The compulsory arbitration program applies if the amount of damages sought is less than a specific threshold set by each county. In Maricopa and Pima county, the threshold amount is $50,000.

  • What is a tort, anyway?

    A tort is a lawsuit for damages, seeking compensation for injuries to one person as a result of the conduct of another.  Motor vehicle accident cases make up the single largest number of tort cases (approximately two-thirds of tort cases) in Arizona Superior Court.  Other tort cases involve claims of medical malpractice, assault, battery, conversion, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation, invasion of privacy, misrepresentation, malicious prosecution, interference with business relations, premises liability, and product liability.

What our clients are saying…

Client Reviews

I was so impressed with this law firm. They gave me free books to educate myself prior to starting our Trust so that we made the best decisions for our family. Leighton stayed late on a Friday night for us to come and sign documents. They all went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Loose Law group to anyone needing estate planning services! Must also mention they work fast so no worrying about getting things done quickly if it’s an urgent matter. Excellent!!

Client Reviews

We had such a positive experience today with Leighton and her team. They handled our estate and trust planning with so much detail and ease. I was pregnant with my second kid when we decided to do our estate planning and the accommodation that they were able to provide from start to finish is just so reassuring and great. Will definitely recommend!

Client Reviews

Great team, very helpful, and prompt.  From Rachel in reception to Laura and Leighton the law team, everyone was very friendly and professional. Needed estate planning documents drafted and they handled everything perfectly.  I send them all my information and a few weeks later went to their offices to review and sign the documents, very easy and straightforward.  Everything was thoroughly explained and all my questions were answered, could not have been easier.

Client Reviews

I have a policy that gives me attorney services. I called to get my referral and they gave me some names. I researched the names and called Loose Law Group. They are close to my home. It was a phenomenal experience during a pandemic when we were remodeling and staying in a hotel. We did everything by phone until we had to sign papers. We went to their office and everyone was exceptional, friendly and helpful they answered all our questions. They were quick to follow up!  Thank you for a wonderful experience.
