Peter Akmajian

I am a trial lawyer with 40+ years of experience practicing law in Arizona and more than 40 jury trials in Tucson, Phoenix, Yuma, Bisbee and Nogales under his belt. These trials have mainly involved serious personal injury, medical malpractice and wrongful death.

I was a civil defense lawyer for many years before making the switch to the plaintiff's side. Since 1998, I have been certified by the State Bar of Arizona as a Specialist in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death, and a long-time member of the State Bar's Commission that vets potential specialists.

I am honored to have been inducted into three organizations recognizing outstanding trial work: the American College of Trial Lawyers, the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, and the International Society of Barristers. I graduated from the University of Arizona for both undergraduate and law school (B.A., with distinction 1980) (J.D., with distinction 1984) and have been a long-time member of a prestigious trial lawyer organization, the American Board of Trial Advocates and served as a judicial law clerk for Vice-Chief Justice Frank X. Gordon of the Arizona Supreme Court, from 1984 – 1985.
