Patrick J McGroder III

Pat has been recognized by his peers as one of the finest trial lawyers in America.  He specializes in high profile, catastrophic injury and wrongful death litigation.  As an architect of social change, Pat has been on the cutting edge of litigation that has led to HMO reform, road design improvement, motor vehicle and aviation safety changes, nursing home and trampoline regulation.

During forty years of trial practice, Pat has been lead counsel in more than 100 cases in which there has been a verdict or settlement in excess of $1,000,000, having recovered over $500 million for his clients during this time.  Pat's litigation success is only matched by his commitment to social justice in his community and his philanthropy.  In 2010, he was inducted into the Maricopa County Bar Hall of Fame for decades of excellence in the practice of law.  In recognition for his "unfailing commitment to the principles of professionalism, decency and civility in the legal profession."  Pat was recently awarded the Ken Clancy Memorial Award by the American Board of Trial Advocates.  In 2012, Pat became the third American to be named an Honorary Bencher to the Society of Kings Inns in Ireland for his work with the Barristers of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
