Our Professionals

Mr. Weiss has a business degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a law degree from Yale Law School.  Unlike most of his classmates, he declined opportunities to work in big law firms, where he would have spent his legal career representing business interests.  Rather, he has found it more satisfying to assist injured workers in dealing with problems caused by workers' compensation insurance carriers and self-insured employers.

Mr. Weiss became one of the state's first State Bar certified workers' compensation specialists in 1979.  He has been included in the Workers' Compensation section of Best lawyers in America for ten years.  He has an av rating, the highest available, from the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory.

His professional activities have included serving on the Board of Directors of the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association.  He has served as a hearing officer for the Arizona Supreme Court in matters involving alleged ethical violations by members of the State Bar.  He was recently appointed to serve on the Character and Fitness Committee by the chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court.

His wife Randy is a certified independent social worker (psychotherapist/counselor).  They have an active Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, Daley.
