Our Team

Two attorneys and the staff who keep every claim moving, in one small Scottsdale office.

The Lawyers on Your Claim

Attorneys

  • Douglas F. Dieker, attorney

    Douglas F. Dieker

    Attorney · Insurance Claims & Bad Faith

    Doug has spent 25 years representing policyholders and injured people, never insurers. He handles homeowner's and business property claims, life, health and disability denials, bad faith litigation and injury cases, and has obtained many high-value settlements and verdicts for clients across Arizona.

    He is a business owner himself, so he reads a stalled business claim as payroll you still owe. He will tell you plainly what your claim is worth pursuing and what it is not.

  • S. Christopher Copple, attorney

    S. Christopher Copple

    Attorney · Medical Malpractice

    Christopher leads the firm's medical malpractice practice, representing patients and families harmed when care fell below the standard: surgical and diagnostic errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries and neglect in care facilities.

    The provider's insurer runs the defense in these cases. Christopher builds the records and expert case needed to answer it, and will tell you plainly whether a claim is worth bringing.
