Death is unavoidable, but wrongful death is not.

Yes, he really is as good as they all say.

Thabet represented me in a lawsuit against a restaurant in which I fell off an unlit corner of an outdoor stage and broke my leg. He quickly gained my trust (no easy feat) and never complained at the amount of times I called with questions or a need for reassurance. He took the time to get to know ...me as someone more than just a client with a broken leg, and always surprised me with his patience and empathy (I've heard too many lawyer jokes). He was always straightforward with me, and was well-versed in the laws of the county in which I live, even though at a distance from Tucson. He never pressured me, and he let me take all the time I needed to make all the hard decisions these cases seem to entail. Best of all, he made it possible for me to settle with the restaurant in a way that satisfied both the owner and me. I recommend Thabet without reservation to anybody looking for excellent help with a legal problem.

Looking for an attorney? Look no further!!!

I can say without hesitation or reservation you cannot go wrong with Thabet Khalidi. Hands down the best attorney I have ever known or worked with. I am a Viet Nam Combat veteran, self-employed most of my life, absent business only for my military service. I have never had anyone more willing t...o go above and beyond the call to duty as Thabet did in my case. (that is without risking life and limb). My case started with a federal tort action for medical malpractice against the VA. I searched for more than a year for a lawyer willing to take on the VA in a Federal Tort Action. I was turned away by many saying they did not think I could win. Finally found an attorney in the DC area that stepped up. 1st tort action, hard fought but we lost. We filed an appeal, lost again. After losing a Federal Tort Action and appeal, you can sue the Federal Government in civil court, however, Federal Tort Action rules apply. I believe this is the reason that many firms were reluctant to take on my case, so I filed the suit myself. I had fought the good fight for six years and lost but I was not ready to quit. I filed the suit and all required documents Pro Se representing myself. I sure do not recommend that. Soon I am in desperate need of legal advice and representation. I am so grateful to Honorable David Bury, United States District Judge who asked if I would mind if he tried to find me an attorney to take on my case. WOW, did I mind, no way! I really appreciated the thought however I gave it little chance of success; after all I was willing to pay and had no success in finding a lawyer. Soon after I received a call from an amazing, down to earth human being, who offered me an opportunity that every other lawyer I approached denied. That amazing human being was Mr. Thabet Khalidi. Thabet reviewed the case and discussed it at length with me. I told him that several firms professing to be malpractice experts deemed a successful outcome highly unlikely, yet Thabet agreed to take my case. That was the beginning of the end of this six yearlong battle. The ending, a very nice settlement from the Government. Just as important, Thabet proved the standard of care I received was inadequate. I have to live with the results for the rest of my life, hopefully these results will be helpful in preventing someone else’s pain and suffering. Thabet was unflappable, passionately tenacious and industriously creative with pure integrity and respect for how law should be practiced. He worked harder than I would have expected, after hours, we met several times on weekends and he was extremely reliable with required follow-up. He brings to the table rare aptitudes. He responds quickly and collaborates dynamically with an open mind. Thabet is incredibly quick to respond to challenging circumstances with strategies that usually produce desired results. I highly recommend Thabet Khalidi to anyone who is looking for legal advice, consultation, or legal intervention from an experienced attorney. His knowledge of Federal and State law is superior, he will represent you in a manner you will be proud of. Roy Tyler

Amazing, Charismatic, Professional, Case Winning

Mr. Khalidi is extremely knowledgeable about child custody. I'm so happy that he was there to help my husband win custody of my stepson. We live in Texas, so it's amazing that he was able to get us full custody across state lines. He's nothing short of amazing and after working with other custody ...lawyers in Tucson that proved to be worthless, we were ecstatic to have finally found Mr. Khalidi. He is awesome. He's a caring person, he's honest, straighforward, and will fight, and fight, and fight for you!

Posted by anonymous | November 14, 2012 | Child Support

Committed and Caring

Thabet represented me in my divorce and ongoing child support and custody disputes. I trusted his advice, which he gave with confidence, while acknowledging the difficulty of my situation. His experience and competence served me well. He helped me make sound decisions that always focused on the best... interests of my children. I am grateful for his commitment, heart-felt concern, and a very necessary sense of humor. He's a good lawyer, and a good man.

"I know Thabet both as a colleague and as a person. He is an exceptional Attorney with success that speaks for itself. He is also an exceptional person. He has taken time out of his day on numerous occasions to give me, an Attorney with far less experience than Thabet, advice on cases and words of wisdom. A selfless act that few experienced Attorneys take the time to do, but Thabet has. It speaks to his character and vast experience. Clients are in capable, experienced and compassionate hands when they entrust your legal needs to Thabet. As an Attorney very involved in the legal community here in Arizona, I would not hesitate for a moment to use him as my own Attorney if I ever need one."
