A seasoned business executive turned lawyer, Rob Northrop has spent most of his professional career in real estate development, investments, and business operations. Much of that time was spent managing a variety of complex and sophisticated issues, playing the pivotal role of managing lawyers and “bet the company” high stakes litigation. His business experience has given him considerable insight in client relations. He knows what clients want because he sat in that chair for several years and know first-hand the frustrations clients go through. Northrop knows the importance of mitigating risk while maximizing profit. He focus on being efficient and effective in solving the problem, instead of dragging out the fight at the expense of the client. But if a fight is required, Rob will zealously advocate a client’s interest, in a civil and professional manner - at the negotiation table, and in the courtroom. Transparency, communication, responsiveness and simplified explanation are keys to client retention, satisfaction, and building trust and rapport.
Our job is to treat you with respect, listen to and understand your concerns, advise you on your legal matters and advocate your position in pursuit of the best possible outcome. Litigation can be one of the most financially and emotionally taxing experiences people and companies must battle during the course of day to day life. Northrop stands by his clients to counsel them through some of the most difficult and legally complex situations that can occur in the state. It is not just the legal issues at stake, but the personal difficulties that many clients face when going through the dispute.
We pay particular attention to advising clients in such a way that respects their struggle. We do this in part by holding the responsible parties accountable and, in doing so, providing you with high quality representation without ruining your balance sheet. Our fees are reasonable enough to give you the ability to meet the costs and expenses that have arisen as a result of this unfortunate situation.
You will understand your case, and you will be kept informed. Northrop will work with you to build a case that is based on a thorough investigation of the facts coupled with a well-thought-out legal strategy. Northrop places client service at the forefront of the practice because it provides the framework within which we build this case to protect our clients’ rights and to bring about a balance of justice in the legal system. His overall litigation strategy is precise, calculated, and aggressive.
When Northrop isn’t advocating on behalf of his clients, he volunteers for the Arizona Association of Realtors as a mediator and arbitrator for the Professional Standards Committee and Grievance Committee. There, he resolves ethics disputes between Realtors and members of the public, and business disputes between brokers and realtors. He was recently appointed Vice-chair for the professional standards committee for 2018. He also volunteers as a competition judge for the America Mock Trial Association, Arizona High School Mock Trial Program, and We the People… The Citizen and the Constitution. During college and prior to law school Rob was a volunteer and mentor for several years as a big brother in the Big Brother/Big Sister program. Otherwise, he is enjoying the great outdoors Arizona offers, and spending time with friends and family.

I had the privilege to be introduced with Rob and to work with him. Rob is a bulldog. He is not afraid to go head-to-head with any lawyer. He does not get intimidated and he does not back down. Rob’s unique personality allows him to resolve cases by negotiating with the other side or by relentlessly arguing his client’s position until he wins. Rob is meticulous with his legal writing, he works long hours, and he always researched until he is over prepared. I respect Rob a lot and I frequently recommend him for civil matters.
