Michael F. Rollins received his law degree from the University of Arizona College of Law in 1978 and was admitted to practice law in Arizona. Following graduation, Mr. Rollins accepted a Federal Judicial Clerkship with the Honorable Carl A. Muecke, Chief Judge for the District of Arizona.
Upon completion, he began his practice in insurance defense, working for an international law firm in its Phoenix office. He was elected to firm partnership and defended Fortune 500 companies and Arizona clients in cases involving personal injury, product liability, wrongful death, Tucson medical malpractice and labor law issues. He handled catastrophic injury claims including paralysis, spinal injuries and traumatic brain injuries.
Mr. Rollins believes his experience in defending insurance companies, businesses and individuals who have been sued for personal injury and wrongful death claims has provided him with a unique knowledge as to the inner workings of insurance defense strategies and provides him an advantage in representing injured clients.
Currently, Mr. Rollins limits his practice to medical malpractice, personal injury, product liability (including defective automobiles and tires), accidents (including trucking, automobile and motorcycle) and wrongful death on behalf of injured individuals.
Mr. Rollins has received an "AV" from the worldwide legal directory, Martindale-Hubbell, signifying that he has demonstrated the highest level of legal proficiency and ethical standards in his profession - a very distinguished accomplishment. An "AV" rating is awarded to only a small percentage of attorneys and is based on the confidential opinions of peer attorneys and members of the judiciary.
