I am a trial lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona. I handle a wide variety of cases. If it is a case that speaks to justice, I'll consider it. My goal as a lawyer is to help clients navigate their challenges in a way that minimizes costs and gives them the best chance of getting a postive outcome. Often, the first question I will ask a client is, "What are your goals in all of this?" I believe that our communication as lawyer-client is very, very important. I prepare all my cases as if they are going to trial. That way, we operate from the most informed position.
I grew up in Phoenix in the late 70s and 80s. I went to Brophy and then Yale and finally Northwestern School of Law in Chicago. I love Phoenix, even if it's gotten too big. I believe in keeping the powers that be in check and fighting for our democratic rights as citizens. If you have an issue that is important to you, contact me.

Best Attorney in the State
Ivan Hannel is by far the best attorney in the state. He is professional, organised and aggressive. He worked endlessly for me and my kids during a dark time in my divorce, where sensitive matters were needed to be handle. He put in countless hours to make sure we were prepared for trial. Watching h...

Ivan did a great job!
I need help with composing a formal and professional type letter to the Arizona Board of Fingerprinting in hopes of getting a fingerprint card for my Real Estate license.

Should not be in a courtroom.
1.0 star Posted by Barry May 30, 2018 Mr Hannel represented me in a medical malpractice/medical battery case. Because of his failure to call the defendant as a plaintiff's witness and allow the court to hear our evidence of his unethical behavior, our claim for punitive damages was dismissed ...
Mr. Gendelman rejected a neutral mediator's assessment that his chances of prevailing in court were "zero." He rejected my advice towards opening statement and jury selection feeling he knew better. He decided to give his own closing argument--a first for the judge in a non-criminal case--against my advice and the judge's warnings. The jury did not find Mr. Gendelman's testimony credible and found for the defendant. The system worked as it should and although it is never perfect, I am glad Mr. Gendelman had his moment to show himself and his case to an Arizona jury, which found against him. I am proud of our Arizona jury system, warts and all.
"I endorse Mr. Hannel. We worked a case that went to trial. He was prepared, poised, polished, and persuasive in the courtroom. He cares about his clients and goes the extra mile to provide top-shelf legal representation."
"I have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Hannel on a very difficult family law matter. He advocated fiercely for his client, but was still professional and courteous throughout the entire case. He was a formidable adversary and I would definitely refer clients to him for any conflict cases I may have."
"highly endorse Mr. Hannel. Truly exceptional and caring attorney who produces great results in representing clients! I want all people with legal problems to contact him first."
"I strongly endorse Ivan. His immense knowledge is rivaled only by his humanity and his compassion. He's an excellent choice for anyone who needs an attorney."
"Mr. Hannel's expertly serves his clients' best interests. He prioritizes civility and efficiency, two values critical to success but sometimes neglected in our profession. He understands that the hostility commonly mistaken for tenacity by other attorneys is generally detrimental to the clients we serve. If you require effective counsel, may I sincerely suggest consulting with Mr. Hannel."
