"Frank Verderame is an extraordinary trial lawyer. He is not just great by local, Arizona standards. He is brilliant at a national level and has lectured throughout the USA regarding trial lawyer issues. If someone suffers any kind of injury in the Phoenix area, due to the negligence, careless, or recklessness of another, then that person or family will never find a greater advocate. And, Frank is an even better human being. I am privileged to call Frank a friend as well. -- Doug Levy - Tucson, Arizona"

"Frank Verderame is everything that any client could hope for in a lawyer. First, he's one of the most likeable people that I know and every client should love him. Second, he's really brilliant with a vast knowledge on countless subjects and issues. Third, while these qualities are important, if I'm someone looking to hire a lawyer, I want to know that my lawyer will be respected by his peers. Not only if Frank respected by both Plaintiff and Defense lawyers, but most love him for being such a superb lawyer and quality person. It is my pleasure and honor to commend Frank."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
