The Glendale Firm Sharing a Name With Two Firms It Isn’t
Cristina Perez Hesano built a Glendale practice spanning personal injury, bankruptcy, and estate planning. Arizona also has a separate “Perez Injury Law Firm” and a separate “Perez Law Office” — and the injury firm’s website explicitly disclaims any connection to Perez Law Group. Here’s who’s who, and what the Glendale firm’s own record shows.
BY THE AWESOME ATTORNEYS EDITORIAL TEAM · GLENDALE, ARIZONA · JULY 2026
PEREZ LAW GROUP, PLLC — AT A GLANCE
| FOUNDED BY | Cristina Perez Hesano, more than a decade of Arizona practice |
| FOCUS | Personal injury and wrongful death, alongside bankruptcy, estate planning, and probate |
| OFFICE | 7508 N. 59th Ave., Glendale, Arizona |

ORIGIN
One Name, Three Firms
Arizona’s PI market includes at least three unrelated firms built around the surname “Perez.” Perez Law Group, PLLC, the subject of this profile, is led by founding attorney Cristina Perez Hesano, who is listed in Cornell’s LII attorney directory as an Arizona State University-educated personal injury attorney serving Maricopa County. A second, entirely separate firm, Perez Injury Law Firm, PLLC — led by attorney Bernard Perez, licensed in Arizona and New Mexico — states directly on its own website: “THIS FIRM HAS NEVER BEEN CONNECTED, ASSOCIATED, OR AFFILIATED IN ANY WAY WITH PEREZ LAW GROUP, PLLC.” A third firm, Perez Law Office, handles immigration, criminal defense, and personal injury matters. Awesome Attorneys flags this explicitly because a prospective client searching “Perez law Arizona injury” will encounter all three, and only one is the subject of this profile.
PRACTICE
A Firm Built Wider Than Personal Injury Alone
Unlike most firms in this series, Perez Law Group does not limit itself to personal injury. Its published practice areas are personal injury and wrongful death, bankruptcy (Chapter 7 and Chapter 13), estate planning (wills, trusts, conservatorships, and guardianships), and probate. The firm maintains dedicated personal injury landing pages for individual West Valley cities, including Surprise, where founding attorney Cristina Perez Hesano is named directly as leading the firm’s work “for accident victims across Surprise and the West Valley.”
TRACK RECORD
What’s Publicly Verifiable
Awesome Attorneys did not find an itemized case-results page published by the firm. The firm’s own site includes a standard past-results disclaimer stating that “these results are specific to the facts and legal circumstances of each client’s case” and that “results in other cases will differ,” and that reported amounts are “gross before deduction of fees, costs, and expenses” — language consistent with responsible attorney advertising practice, though it does not itself constitute a published results history. No dollar figures are reported in this profile because none were independently verified.
CLIENT VOICE
What’s Publicly Available
Awesome Attorneys did not locate individually attributed, named client testimonials specific to the firm’s personal injury practice at the time of writing, distinct from its broader Yelp presence (50 reviews as of this writing, spanning all of the firm’s practice areas rather than injury cases specifically). Readers considering the firm for an injury matter should ask directly for injury-specific client references.
COMMUNITY
Beyond the Courtroom
Founding attorney Cristina Perez Hesano hosts Verdicts & Vogue, a podcast described by the firm as exploring “the world of law and lifestyle,” featuring interviews with legal professionals and discussion of the realities of law firm ownership and the challenges faced by women in business and working mothers. This is a documented public-facing initiative distinct from courtroom work, though it functions primarily as firm content rather than a civic or charitable program.
RECOGNITION
Peer Standing
Awesome Attorneys did not find Cristina Perez Hesano listed in Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, or Martindale-Hubbell’s peer-review directories at the time of writing. Her verifiable credentials are her Arizona State University legal education (per Cornell LII) and more than a decade of active Arizona practice spanning personal injury, bankruptcy, and estate planning.
THE LAW
The Arizona Backdrop, in Plain English
Readers considering a personal injury claim in Arizona should understand a few ground rules. What follows is general information, not legal advice.
The two-year clock. Arizona’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury (A.R.S. § 12-542).
Suing the government is faster and stricter. Claims against Arizona public entities require a formal notice of claim within 180 days (A.R.S. § 12-821.01) and a lawsuit within one year (A.R.S. § 12-821).
Fault is shared, not all-or-nothing. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505).
Bankruptcy and a pending injury claim can interact. Because this firm handles both practice areas, it’s worth noting: an unresolved personal injury claim is generally considered an asset of a bankruptcy estate and must be disclosed, a detail that matters for any client considering both a bankruptcy filing and an active injury claim.
ASSESSMENT
The Awesome Attorneys View
Perez Law Group’s honest positioning is as a general-practice firm with a genuine, actively marketed personal injury arm — not a dedicated PI boutique. Its West Valley city-specific injury pages, with the founding attorney named directly, suggest real attorney involvement in that practice line rather than a bolted-on service.
The honest trade-off, beyond the identity-confusion risk this profile addresses directly, is that the firm’s personal injury results and client feedback are less independently documented than several dedicated PI firms in this series — no itemized results table and no injury-specific named testimonials that Awesome Attorneys could locate. For West Valley clients who want a firm that can also handle related bankruptcy or estate matters alongside an injury claim, Perez Law Group’s breadth is a genuine advantage; clients whose sole priority is a dedicated PI trial practice with a long published verdict history may want to compare it against other firms in this series before deciding.
