Origin & Founder History
Randal Hutson founded Hutson Law Firm, a Phoenix-area personal injury practice, to represent accident victims across Arizona. According to his Avvo profile, the firm’s model is deliberately not built around high case volume and fast settlements; Hutson has stated the firm is “small (by intention)” while still handling significant cases. He holds a Certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution and has been published by the American Bar Association’s Section of Litigation.

Track Record
Awesome Attorneys did not locate a published, itemized case-results page with specific settlement or verdict figures for this firm. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes; each case is decided on its own facts.
Client Voice
Yelp lists 10 reviews for the firm; one client wrote that “Randal Hutson proved to be knowledgeable, experienced and very responsive” throughout their case. Another described how he “negotiated a fantastic settlement” with their insurer and separately negotiated down their medical bills. Facebook reviews show a 100% recommend rate across 8 reviews. Awesome Attorneys did not find a meaningful volume of negative reviews.
Community & Beyond the Courtroom
Awesome Attorneys did not find independently reportable civic or charitable activity specific to this firm beyond Hutson’s professional publication with the ABA’s Section of Litigation.
Recognition
Randal Hutson was selected to Super Lawyers’ “Rising Stars” list for 2016 through 2021 — a genuine, peer-influenced honor limited to attorneys 40 or younger, or in practice 10 years or less, at the time of selection, chosen through independent research and peer evaluation. Awesome Attorneys did not find evidence of Best Lawyers recognition, Martindale-Hubbell peer ratings, or Arizona State Bar Board of Legal Specialization certification for this attorney.
Arizona Legal Backdrop
Anyone pursuing a personal injury claim in Arizona should know a few statutory basics. Under A.R.S. § 12-542, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. If the at-fault party is a government entity, separate and much shorter deadlines apply: A.R.S. § 12-821.01 requires a notice of claim within 180 days, and A.R.S. § 12-821 requires the lawsuit itself to be filed within one year. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence under A.R.S. § 12-2505, meaning an injured person can still recover damages even if partly at fault, with recovery reduced by their percentage of fault. For minors or people who are legally incapacitated, A.R.S. § 12-502 can toll these deadlines.
Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Hutson Law Firm Phoenix’s multi-year Rising Stars selection is genuine, independently corroborated peer recognition, and it’s paired with consistently positive client reviews across two platforms. The honest tradeoff is scale: this is explicitly a small, one-attorney practice, which the firm itself frames as intentional (personalized attention over volume) but which prospective clients with especially large or complex cases should factor in when weighing this firm against multi-attorney practices with deeper bench strength. There’s also no published case-results record to independently verify outcome size.
