A Tucson Practice With a Multi-State Footprint
Stephen Gorey runs a personal injury and medical malpractice practice based in Tucson, but unlike most solo practitioners in this series, his firm also lists active offices in San Diego, Los Angeles, and Sausalito, California, describing itself as serving both Arizona and the San Francisco Bay Area. That multi-jurisdiction footprint is unusual for a firm this size, and it shapes how the practice pitches itself: Gorey’s own marketing states plainly that he takes on “tough cases” and has “routinely collect[ed] much more than other attorneys thought possible,” per his own published description — language Awesome Attorneys treats as the firm’s characterization of itself, not an independently verified claim.
Awesome Attorneys was unable to locate detailed public biography for Gorey — law school, year of bar admission, or founding date of the practice — beyond his active listing with the State Bar of Arizona and directory profiles describing his Tucson office as a personal injury and medical malpractice practice.
Áreas de práctica
FindLaw’s attorney-specific listing categorizes Gorey’s Tucson practice as approximately 99% Personal Injury Including Medical Malpractice, which Awesome Attorneys treats as the most reliable available signal of his actual caseload. His firm also lists Social Security Disability work. A separate Martindale-Hubbell composite listing associates a much broader set of practice tags with his Tucson office address — including criminal defense and DUI — that Awesome Attorneys was not able to verify as reflecting Gorey’s own individual practice rather than a shared-building or aggregator data artifact; readers should rely on the FindLaw figure and the firm’s own site, which describe a focused injury and malpractice practice representing people who have suffered serious injuries and families pursuing wrongful death claims.
Historial
Awesome Attorneys did not locate a published verdicts-and-settlements ledger or independently reported case results for the Law Offices of Stephen Gorey as of the research date. This section is left honest rather than padded with unverifiable figures. Prospective clients seeking specific outcome data should ask the firm directly.
En palabras de los clientes
One identifiable client review on the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network, hosted on Lawyers.com, describes a car-accident client who turned to Gorey after an insurer was “reluctant to give me a decent payout” and reports that he negotiated a settlement without going to trial. The reviewer called him “a very competent attorney” and said he made the process comfortable. Awesome Attorneys located this as the only detailed, attributable client review publicly available for the firm as of the research date; FindLaw’s separate listing for Gorey shows no reviews posted.
Más allá de la sala del tribunal
Public sourcing did not surface specific civic, charitable, or bar-leadership activity for Stephen Gorey beyond his active State Bar of Arizona membership and his multi-state law practice.
Reconocimientos
Gorey’s Tucson office carries the Lawyers.com “Reviewed by a past client” and “Reviewed by another attorney” badges. Awesome Attorneys did not locate Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, AV Preeminent, or State Bar Board of Legal Specialization credentials for this attorney as of the research date, and none should be implied from directory-badge listings alone.
Contexto legal de Arizona
| A.R.S. § 12-542 | Two-year statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims |
| A.R.S. § 12-821.01 | 180-day notice of claim requirement before suing a public entity or employee |
| A.R.S. § 12-821 | One-year statute of limitations for suits against public entities |
| A.R.S. § 12-2505 | Arizona’s pure comparative negligence rule — recovery is reduced, not barred, by the injured person’s own share of fault |
| A.R.S. § 12-502 | Tolling of limitations periods for minors and persons under a legal disability |
Because Gorey’s Tucson office also handles medical malpractice, the two-year window under § 12-542 is only the starting point — claims against health care providers require a sworn expert opinion affidavit under A.R.S. § 12-2603 at the outset of the case, and Arizona limits who may serve as that expert under § 12-2604.
La evaluación de Awesome Attorneys
Stephen Gorey’s Tucson practice presents an unusual profile in this series: a solo-scale Arizona office attached to a multi-state California operation, with a nearly-exclusive personal injury and medical malpractice caseload per FindLaw’s independent classification. The one detailed client review Awesome Attorneys located is genuinely positive and describes a real negotiated outcome against a resistant insurer.
The honest gaps are real ones: Awesome Attorneys could not confirm Gorey’s law school, bar admission year, or founding date for the practice, could not verify a track record of settlements or verdicts, and could not resolve the discrepancy between FindLaw’s clean personal-injury classification and Martindale’s much broader (and likely inaccurate) composite practice-area tag list for the same office address. A prospective client should ask directly about experience, case history, and fee structure before retaining the firm.
