Origin
Moyes Sellers & Hendricks Phoenix: 22 Years at Fennemore, Then a Named Partnership
Keith Hendricks graduated cum laude from Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark Law School in 1989, where he was a member of the Order of the Coif (reserved for the top 10% of a graduating class), and was admitted to the Arizona Bar the same year. He spent 22 years at Fennemore Craig PC — seven as an associate, then 15 as a partner — before becoming a named partner at Moyes Sellers & Hendricks in 2011, where he now chairs the firm’s litigation practice. He was certified as a Real Estate Law Specialist by the State Bar of Arizona in 1998, a credential Awesome Attorneys confirmed directly against the Bar’s own public roster.
Practice
Real Estate Litigation With a Broader Commercial Docket
Hendricks is a trial attorney whose practice centers on real estate and business litigation, with significant additional experience in construction litigation, bankruptcy litigation, water law disputes, collections, governmental procurement, administrative law disputes, and restrictive covenant litigation. Named matters include an injunction obtained against the federal government and a Native American tribe over road construction at the edge of the Grand Canyon, resulting in a settlement requiring $2.5 million in property improvements and a $1 million cash payment, and a $3.5 million jury verdict following a two-week trial over a failed commercial purchase agreement in downtown Phoenix.
Track Record
Beyond the named matters above — the Grand Canyon-area road injunction and settlement, and the $3.5 million commercial purchase-agreement verdict — Awesome Attorneys did not identify a comprehensive, independently itemized case-results table for the firm.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Avvo shows a 5.0 rating for Hendricks with no misconduct on record and active Arizona and Utah bar status; Awesome Attorneys did not identify individually attributable, quotable client narratives beyond that aggregate rating.
Community
Hendricks is a former Judge Pro Tem for Maricopa County and a former vice-chair of the Arizona State Bar Ethics Committee — genuine judicial and bar-governance service distinct from client-facing marketing.
Recognition
Hendricks’s Real Estate Law board certification (since 1998) was confirmed directly against the State Bar of Arizona’s own certified-specialist roster. He has been selected to Super Lawyers every year from 2007 through 2026 — a 20-year streak, among the longer continuous Super Lawyers tenures of any attorney profiled in this category — and holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell. He has also been recognized by Best Lawyers in America and received the Corporate INTL Global Award for Arizona Bankruptcy Litigation, 2014–2019.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona real property transactions, title matters, and landlord-tenant relationships are governed by Title 33 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Arizona water law — a named focus area — operates under a prior-appropriation system for surface water and a separate groundwater management framework under Title 45. Restrictive covenant and HOA disputes, another named area, run through Arizona’s Planned Communities Act, A.R.S. § 33-1801 et seq.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Moyes Sellers & Hendricks Phoenix’s clearest differentiator is Hendricks’s combination of a genuine, independently verified 1998 board certification with an unusually long, unbroken 20-year Super Lawyers selection streak and two independently documented, named results in the millions of dollars.
The honest trade-off: Hendricks’s practice is heavily litigation-focused across multiple commercial disciplines rather than a dedicated real estate transactional practice, so clients whose need is purely a straightforward purchase or lease transaction, rather than a dispute, may want to compare against firms in this category built around transactional real estate work specifically.
