Overview

Udall Shumway PLC has been serving businesses and consumers since Mesa was a small suburb of Phoenix. Located in the center of growth in the East Valley, we remain a leading Law Firm in the Phoenix-metro area because of the variety of legal services we provide as well as the skill and experience of our attorneys and staff. Several attorneys in the Firm have been and continue to be leaders in the community.

As a mid-sized Arizona law firm, Udall Shumway PLC is large enough to offer a full diversity of service and expertise, yet small enough to maintain personal contact with our clients. As a result of our knowledge, resources, talent and dedication to clients, the Firm has excelled in handling complex cases and obtaining excellent outcomes for clients in Injury and Commercial Litigation, Family Law, Estate and Tax Planning, School Law and Business and Real Estate Transactions, Criminal Law and Workers’ Compensation. A number of our attorneys have been Certified as Specialists in their fields by the State Bar of Arizona.

Not only do we strive for excellence in legal strategy and practice, we actually enjoy working together to serve our clients, the courts and the community. As a result, the Firm has been selected as one of the top law firms in the State by Arizona Business Magazine.
