Origin

A Former Decathlete’s General Litigation Practice

Fabian Zazueta earned his political science degree magna cum laude from the University of Arizona, where he competed as a decathlete on the track and field team, then his J.D. cum laude from Arizona Summit Law School. He founded Zazueta Law, PLLC in Phoenix, building a practice centered on small businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals, with personal injury representation as an additional practice area. He has held an Arizona property and casualty insurance broker’s license since 2011, which his own materials describe as informing his risk-assessment counsel to clients.

Practice

A General Litigation Practice With a Plaintiff-Side PI Docket

Super Lawyers categorizes Mr. Zazueta’s practice areas as General Litigation, Business Litigation, Civil Litigation (both Plaintiff and Defense), and Personal Injury – General specifically as Plaintiff work. An honesty note, stated plainly: this is not a dedicated personal injury practice — PI is one of several litigation areas Mr. Zazueta handles, and while his personal injury matters are categorized as plaintiff-side, his broader civil litigation practice includes defense-side work in unrelated business and commercial disputes (for example, a documented defense verdict in a UCC lien dispute). Readers specifically seeking a PI-exclusive practitioner should weigh that against dedicated-PI firms elsewhere in this series.

Track Record

Mr. Zazueta’s own listed case results include a successful anti-SLAPP dismissal (True North Companies LLC v. Jia-Yee Lai) under A.R.S. § 12-752, affirmed by the Arizona Court of Appeals with fees and costs awarded, and a defense verdict after a four-day jury trial in a UCC-1 lien dispute (Impala Enterprises LLC v. Wallace, 2022) — both business/commercial matters rather than personal injury cases. No independent personal injury case-result table was located in the sources reviewed for this profile.

Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.

Client Voice

An attributed Justia review describes Mr. Zazueta as “honest, hard-working, intelligent, competent, and empathetic,” crediting him with making a difficult situation easier for the client. No negative reviews were located in the sources reviewed for this profile; that reflects the public record available, not a claim of a flawless history.

Community

Mr. Zazueta is an active member of the Sandra Day O’Connor American Inn of Court and provides pro bono representation through the Arizona Volunteer Lawyers Program and the Consulate General of Mexico in Phoenix — civic and pro bono involvement distinct from his direct client caseload. He is a fluent Spanish speaker, per his own materials.

Recognition

Mr. Zazueta was named a Super Lawyers “Rising Star” in General Litigation from 2020 to 2023 — a peer-review-based recognition distinct from pay-to-play marketing awards, though notably in General Litigation rather than a personal-injury-specific category. No Arizona Board of Legal Specialization certification was located for him, so this profile does not use the word “specialist” to describe him.

The Arizona Legal Backdrop

What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.

Arizona personal injury claims are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations under A.R.S. § 12-542. Arizona follows a pure comparative negligence rule under A.R.S. § 12-2505, so a plaintiff found partly at fault can still recover damages, reduced by their percentage of fault. Separately, Arizona’s Anti-SLAPP statute, A.R.S. § 12-752 et seq. — relevant to Mr. Zazueta’s documented case work — allows defendants in certain speech-related lawsuits to seek early dismissal and fee-shifting, a distinct procedural tool from personal injury practice.

The Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Zazueta Law’s genuine differentiator is Fabian Zazueta’s combined litigation and insurance-broker background, giving him risk-assessment fluency that a purely litigation-trained attorney might lack, backed by genuine peer recognition (Super Lawyers Rising Star) and real, citable case outcomes. The honest caveat, stated plainly: this is a general small-business and litigation practice with personal injury as one of several areas rather than the central focus, and the same attorney handles defense-side work in other civil matters — worth knowing for anyone specifically seeking counsel whose entire practice is built around representing injury plaintiffs.
