Editor's Review

VerifiedLawFirms editorial

Roots in Phoenix and how the firm is built

Founded in 1970, this Phoenix law firm describes itself as full-service. Its founders were Frank Haze Burch and Dan Cracchiolo, and both have since died. Their names stay on the door, which gives the practice a stated history of more than fifty years in the Arizona legal market.

The firm reports more than 50 law professionals in its Phoenix office. That is a sizeable bench. It suggests the firm can put more than one lawyer on a matter when a case calls for it.

Reach extends past Arizona. Burch & Cracchiolo keeps offices in Las Vegas, Nevada and Santa Ana, California, and the Santa Ana location serves the Orange County area. So the footprint covers the Southwest and the West Coast, not a single city.

An alliance beyond its own offices

The firm is a member of Primerus, an international alliance of law firms. Networks of that type give a member access to counsel in other markets. As a reviewer, I read the Primerus tie as a way the firm can reach clients or matters that sit outside its own three offices.

The range of work the firm takes on

Burch & Cracchiolo describes itself as full-service, and its practice list supports that label. The core areas include business and corporate law, commercial litigation, and real estate law. The firm also handles family law, personal injury and wrongful death litigation, labor and employment, and construction law.

Estate and wealth preservation planning sits alongside those. The site then lists a second group: insurance defense, tax law, bankruptcy and reorganization, and criminal defense. Appellate work, liquor licensing, zoning and land use, and tribal law appear as well.

That is a broad spread. A firm that covers both transactional work and courtroom disputes can carry a client through connected problems. In my opinion, the width of that list is the firm's clearest selling point, and it fits the more than 50 professionals the firm reports.

Who the firm says it serves

The firm states that it works for corporate, governmental, and individual clients. It describes serving clients across the Southwest and nationally. That mix matters. A practice that takes company files, public-body files, and individual files tends to meet a wider set of legal questions than one built around a single client type.

The attorneys the site names

The firm's injury law team page names several lawyers and gives specific credentials for each. Those details are concrete, so they are worth setting out one by one.

Gregory Rosenthal has argued matters on appeal in the Arizona Court of Appeals and the Arizona Supreme Court. He has also argued at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. That is appellate experience at both the state and federal level.

Long tenures and a tribal court admission

Jake Curtis has been licensed to practice in the Navajo tribal courts for 19 years. That admission lines up with the firm's stated tribal law work. Keith Olbricht has practiced at Burch & Cracchiolo for 18 years, in construction law, commercial litigation, insurance coverage litigation, and personal injury litigation. R.J. Bucky Slomski represents injured clients seeking to recover medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

Read together, these profiles point to a group with courtroom depth. There is a state certification, a long tribal court admission, appellate arguments at two levels, and a high peer-review rating. Those are checkable markers rather than slogans.

What the listing tells you

The overall picture is an established general-practice firm with a litigation core. It states a 1970 founding, more than 50 professionals, three offices, and membership in an international alliance. Each of those points appears on the firm's own pages, so each can be checked.

What the site does not publish, at least in what our research found, is a set of individual case results or settlement figures. So a prospective client cannot judge the firm on reported outcomes alone. The sensible step is to ask about the firm's experience in the specific type of matter at hand.

As a reviewer, my read is plain. Burch & Cracchiolo presents as a long-running Phoenix firm with a wide practice and a handful of credentialed litigators named out front. Anyone weighing the firm can start from those verified facts and then press for the case-specific detail that fits their own situation.
