A Solo Yuma Practice That Grew Into a Cross-Border Firm
Marlo Arnold graduated from Florida State University College of Law in the top 10 percent of her class in 2009 and was admitted to the Arizona State Bar the same year. She began her career as an associate handling personal injury, insurance bad faith, and criminal defense matters before founding Two Rivers Law, which she has since built into a personal-injury-exclusive practice serving Yuma, San Diego, and the broader Imperial Valley and Southern California border region. Two of her early trial results include a $420,000 plaintiff’s verdict and a $1,150,000 settlement in a contested T-bone collision case.
C. Alan Bowman brings a longer institutional history to the firm: he has been a State Bar of Arizona Certified Specialist in Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation since 1991 and has practiced in Yuma for more than 40 years, giving the partnership more than 50 years of combined injury-law experience.
Áreas de práctica
The firm states it handles only personal injury claims — car crashes, commercial truck collisions, motorcycle collisions, and other negligence-based injuries and wrongful death matters — and operates across the Arizona-California border region, accepting cases in both states and co-counseling on litigation nationally.
Historial
Specific published results from Arnold’s career include a $420,000 plaintiff’s jury verdict and a $1,150,000 settlement in a T-bone collision case with contested liability. Awesome Attorneys did not locate a fuller itemized ledger covering the firm’s complete case history as of the research date.
ACERCA DE ESTOS RESULTADOS. The figures above are drawn from the attorney’s own published biography. Past results do not guarantee, warrant, or predict the outcome of any future case; every matter turns on its own facts and law.
En palabras de los clientes
Client reviews are specific and consistently positive: one client described Arnold and her team as “professional, patient, and truly cared about helping me through my car crash injury settlement.” A longtime referring contact called her “tough, caring” with a track record of “great results,” while another reviewer contrasted her personalized attention with “the big guys who just want your case.” The firm holds a 5-star aggregate rating across multiple review platforms.
Más allá de la sala del tribunal
Arnold describes her mission as extending beyond individual cases toward “changing the legal landscape” she practices in, and the firm’s stated philosophy emphasizes holding insurance companies and corporations accountable on behalf of individual clients.
Reconocimientos
Bowman’s Certified Specialist designation in Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation, held continuously since 1991, is the strongest peer-reviewed credential this series tracks and predates Arnold’s own admission to the bar by nearly two decades. Awesome Attorneys did not locate a Board of Legal Specialization certification, Best Lawyers, or Super Lawyers recognition for Arnold specifically as of the research date.
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 |
| A.R.S. § 12-502 | Tolling of limitations periods for minors and persons under a legal disability |
The firm’s cross-border Arizona/California practice means clients should understand that a case may be governed by a different state’s statute of limitations and comparative-fault rules depending on where the injury occurred — California’s framework differs from Arizona’s in several material respects, and which state’s law applies is a threshold question in a border-region case.
La evaluación de Awesome Attorneys
Two Rivers Law pairs a newer, driven founder with genuine, specific early trial results against a long-tenured certified specialist partner, giving the firm both fresh energy and deep institutional credibility in a market — Yuma — that this series has covered only lightly so far. The client reviews located are specific and consistent rather than generic.
The honest caveat: Arnold’s early-career practice at her prior firm included criminal defense work alongside personal injury; her current firm, Two Rivers Law, is stated to be personal-injury-exclusive, and Awesome Attorneys is relying on the firm’s own representation of that shift since it was not independently audited against her full docket history.
