The Former State Bar President Who Also Runs “Law Tigers” Motorcycle Cases Across Four States
Geoffrey Trachtenberg practices personal injury and wrongful death law at Levenbaum Trachtenberg — the Arizona home of the motorcycle-accident brand “Law Tigers” — while also having served as elected President of the State Bar of Arizona’s Board of Governors, a statewide leadership role well beyond his own casework.

ORIGEN
From a California Clerkship to Arizona’s Plaintiffs’ Bar
Geoffrey Trachtenberg earned his J.D. at Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California, Berkeley. After graduation, he clerked for the Honorable Gary L. Taylor of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, then practiced at Irell & Manella LLP in Newport Beach before moving into Arizona plaintiffs’ practice. He has been licensed in Arizona since 2001.
Trachtenberg is a partner at Levenbaum Trachtenberg, PLC, where he focuses on personal injury litigation and appeals, particularly motorcycle injury and wrongful death cases — the firm operates under the “Law Tigers” brand, a name widely associated with motorcycle-accident representation. Beyond his own docket, Trachtenberg manages the firm’s offices in California, New Mexico, and Utah, giving him a multi-state leadership role inside the practice in addition to his Arizona casework.
PRÁCTICA
Personal Injury, Appeals, and a Specialty in Medical Liens
Trachtenberg’s practice centers on personal injury litigation and appellate work, with particular depth in motorcycle and wrongful death cases. He has also built a specific expertise in medical liens and third-party subrogation rights — an often-overlooked area of personal injury practice that directly affects how much of a settlement a client actually keeps — and is co-author of the Arizona Personal Injury Lien Law & Practice Guide, a reference work on the subject.
HISTORIAL

Awesome Attorneys did not locate an itemized settlement or verdict table published specifically under Trachtenberg’s name; his public recognition is built primarily on peer credentials and leadership roles rather than a published results page.

LA VOZ DEL CLIENTE
Lo que reportan los clientes
One client, writing after a motorcycle collision, credited Trachtenberg with being “very accommodating” and available for questions, adding that he was “especially pleased with his ability to explain legal terms and lay out a strategy for success.” A separate peer review from a Martindale reviewer described him as “highly ethical, thoughtful and capable,” praising his handling of clients “with care and passion.” Awesome Attorneys also located an older, sharply critical review describing an unpleasant phone interaction; the specific circumstances behind that review were not independently verifiable, and it is included here for balance rather than as a confirmed account.
COMUNIDAD
Más allá de la sala del tribunal
Trachtenberg has served as a Judge Pro Tempore with the Maricopa County Superior Court and volunteers with the Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS, St. Vincent de Paul, and the Arizona Brain Injury Association, in addition to providing free legal services to indigent families. His three-time Volunteer of the Year recognition from the Arizona Association for Justice reflects sustained, multi-year engagement rather than a single honor.
RECONOCIMIENTOS
Posición entre colegas
Trachtenberg’s State Bar of Arizona certification as a Personal Injury and Wrongful Death specialist is a genuine, individually earned credential. He carries an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, has been listed in Best Lawyers in America, and was selected for the Super Lawyers “Top 50” in Arizona — a narrower distinction than a standard Super Lawyers listing. His election to the State Bar of Arizona’s Board of Governors presidency is a further, independently verifiable mark of standing among his broader peer group, not just plaintiffs’-bar colleagues.
LA LEY
El contexto legal de Arizona, en lenguaje sencillo
Readers considering a personal injury or wrongful death claim in Arizona should understand a few ground rules. What follows is general information, not legal advice.
El reloj de dos años. Arizona’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury (A.R.S. § 12-542).
Demandar al gobierno es más rápido y más estricto. 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).
La culpa se comparte, no es todo o nada. Arizona follows pure comparative negligence (A.R.S. § 12-2505): an injured person’s recovery is reduced by their percentage of fault, but not eliminated even if they were mostly at fault.
Los menores tienen más tiempo. The limitations clock is generally paused for minors and people of unsound mind until the disability ends (A.R.S. § 12-502).
EVALUACIÓN
La perspectiva de Awesome Attorneys
Trachtenberg’s combination of a genuine State Bar specialist certification, an AV Preeminent rating, and an elected State Bar presidency puts him among the more rigorously peer-verified attorneys in this series — the State Bar presidency in particular reflects standing across the entire legal profession, not just among fellow plaintiffs’ lawyers. His medical-lien specialty is also a genuinely useful, somewhat under-marketed area of expertise that can materially affect a client’s net recovery.
The honest trade-off: Awesome Attorneys could not locate a published case-results page specific to Trachtenberg’s own docket, and his multi-state management responsibilities (California, New Mexico, Utah) mean his attention is necessarily split across more than just Arizona matters. One older negative review exists publicly and is disclosed above rather than omitted, though its specifics could not be independently confirmed.
