Construction Law, Insurance Bad Faith, Personal Injury & Civil Litigation in Arizona
Focused representation in the disputes that put your property, your business, and your recovery on the line.
Construction Law
Construction law is the core of the Magnus Law practice. The firm represents general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, developers, and property owners across Arizona in construction defect claims, payment and change-order disputes, mechanics’ lien recording and foreclosure, Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) complaints and license defense, contract drafting and negotiation, and delay and abandonment claims.
Residential defect cases are governed by Arizona’s Purchaser Dwelling Act, which imposes a mandatory pre-lawsuit notice and right-to-repair process on homeowners and builders alike — and punishes missteps on both sides. Whether you are a homeowner with a defective home or a builder who just received a PDA notice, the early moves matter most.

Insurance Bad Faith Litigation
Insurers owe their policyholders a duty of good faith and fair dealing. When an insurance company denies a valid claim without a reasonable basis, delays investigation, misrepresents coverage, or offers a fraction of what the policy promises, Arizona law recognizes a bad faith claim — with remedies that reach beyond the policy limits, including consequential damages, emotional distress, and in aggravated cases punitive damages.
Magnus Law represents homeowners and businesses in first-party bad faith litigation involving property damage, fire, water and roof claims, and liability coverage disputes, measuring insurer conduct against the claim-handling standards catalogued in A.R.S. § 20-461.

Personal Injury
When someone else’s negligence causes serious injury, the case is about more than the crash or the fall — it is about medical bills, lost income, insurance companies, and the liens that line up against your settlement. Magnus Law handles motor vehicle collisions, premises liability, and other negligence claims, managing the case from investigation and insurance negotiation through trial when necessary.
Lien resolution is where recoveries are protected: hospital liens, health plan reimbursement claims, and balance billing can consume a settlement if they are not audited, challenged, and negotiated. That work is built into every personal injury case the firm handles.

Civil Litigation
Some disputes do not fit a neat label. Magnus Law serves as trial counsel in commercial and civil disputes of many kinds — contract actions, real estate disputes, fraud and misrepresentation claims — through every phase: pre-suit demand and negotiation, pleadings, discovery, dispositive motions, arbitration, mediation, and trial. The firm’s approach is candid case evaluation up front and disciplined execution after: know what the case is worth, know what it will cost, and pursue the path that serves the client.
Business Law
Magnus Law advises closely held companies and their owners on entity formation and structure, operating agreements, commercial contracts, and the disputes that arise when business relationships fracture — partnership and member disputes, dissolutions, and commercial collection matters. Clients get the same attorney for the contract and the fight over it, which changes how both are handled.
