Welcome to Maeder Law

If you're seeking the assistance of an aggressive trial attorney that can pierce the opponent's decision loop, then you should retain my services. My skills run the gamut from obtaining the crucial, often overlooked, information on the initial client interview through discovery, motion practice, trial and appellate review.

My skills in creating a resilient case have been tested hundreds of times. While a good lawyer is "prepared," the better lawyer rises above the script of preparation, improvises in the moment and anticipates their opponent's thinking. Slicing open the opponent's "decision loop" is a talent forged from fifteen years of facing down witnesses, experts, and opposing counsel everyday.

My client list has included physicians, nurses, hospitals, clinics, medical equipment manufacturers, professional liability insurers, general liability insurers, and major healthcare organizations throughout Arizona. The spectrum of my successful defenses range from state medical board review of the single physician's assistant to institution-wide claims.

My practice has ranged from state to federal court, from state superior court to supreme court and from U.S. District Court to U.S. Court of Appeals. I am licensed in California.

I have defended claims ranging from commercial liability, construction defect liability, aviation liability, products liability, premises liability, personal injury, nursing home negligence, and general healthcare litigation. My background includes prosecution of plaintiffs' claims in medical malpractice, products liability, personal injury, general liability and premises liability. This experience formed an uncanny ability to anticipate an opponent's move before they even think of it, get inside their decision loop, and to develop a deep understanding of their state of mind.

While the National Board of Trial Advocacy has certified me as a civil trial advocate since 1999 because of the thousands of depositions, hundreds of motions, dozens of trials and appeals that I have participated in, I get the most reward from the many clients that return again and again for continued representation.
