A Fictional Account Of Something That Is All Too Real In Arizona: Lisa’s Story

Lisa, a single mother in Maryvale, was rear-ended at a red light on her way to pick up her kids from school. The crash left her with neck and back pain, a totaled car, and mounting medical bills. She was overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. She kept seeing advertisements from large law firms boasting about million-dollar settlements and flashy courtroom victories. Hoping they could help, Lisa signed up with one of these firms.

Months later, Lisa’s case settled for $25,000—the Arizona state minimum policy limit for the at-fault driver. But when the dust settled, Lisa was shocked to find that after paying her medical bills and attorney fees, she only walked away with $1,500 in her pocket. The firm had sent her to lien-based chiropractors who racked up unnecessary bills, leaving little room for her to recover financially.

Frustrated and feeling betrayed, Lisa turned to GAMESQ, PLC to understand what went wrong. At GAMESQ, PLC, we do things differently. We focus not just on the size of the settlement but on how much money our clients actually take home after all expenses are paid. Because at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what the client puts in their own pocket.

How GAMESQ, PLC Maximizes Client Recovery

At GAMESQ, PLC, we pride ourselves on returning as much money as possible to our clients after their cases are resolved. Here’s how we do it:

1. Avoiding Predatory Lien-Based Care

Many advertising law firms send clients to lien-based chiropractors or other providers who inflate medical bills unnecessarily. This approach benefits the law firm and their “team” of doctors but leaves clients with little money after their cases settle.

We encourage our clients to use their own trusted healthcare providers or private insurance (including AHCCCS) to avoid inflated bills. This ensures that:

• Clients receive proper medical care tailored to their actual injuries.
• Medical expenses remain manageable, leaving more room for financial recovery from the settlement.

For example, in one recent case I handled, my client walked away with $16,750 in their pocket after settling for $25,000—the Arizona state minimum policy limit—because we took an aggressive approach from day one (results can vary based on facts and results cannot be promised [legal disclaimer]).

2. Aggressive Tactics That Force Insurance Companies to Pay Up

Every car accident case is different, but my approach is always proactive and aggressive:

• Winning Liability Fights Early: By proving fault early in the process, I ensure my clients can get their cars repaired and access rental vehicles immediately.
• Educating Insurance Companies: I provide regular updates—every 30 days—to keep insurers informed about my client’s injuries and treatment progress. This helps adjust reserves upward and leads to higher settlements.
• Policy-Limit Demands: If an MRI or other evidence shows a serious injury that exceeds policy limits, I immediately demand the policy limit while continuing to supplement with additional evidence.

These tactics have allowed me to secure significant recoveries for my clients while ensuring they walk away with more money in their pockets.

Real Results for Real Clients

Here are some examples of recent cases I’ve handled where my clients walked away with substantial recoveries:

• Case 1: Settled for $25K (state minimum policy limit). My client put $11,350 in their pocket after all medical bills and attorney fees were paid. In this case we moved fast once we got a MRI back showing a partial rotator cuff tear. Then using my experience as a tax attorney I made a compelling argument about his future lost wages. This tactic allowed us to settle the case in under 50 days for the full policy limit.
• Case 2: Settled for $25K. My client walked away with $6,950 in their pocket, thanks to careful management of medical expenses and aggressive negotiations with the insurance company. This client came from one of the big advertising firms in Arizona. She knew she was cooked once she got a second opinion from me. I immediately had her quit seeing the lien based chiropractors and other doctors her law firm had sent her to. I had her use her AHCCCS to get the care she needed and she was able to make a full recovery.
• Case 3: Settled for $25K. My client took home $16,750, avoiding unnecessary lien-based care entirely. I highlighted the horror of the car crash and made the insurance company understand how a Maricopa County jury would weigh these facts.

Each case is unique, and results depend on factors like injury severity and available insurance coverage. But these examples show how GAMESQ, PLC prioritizes client recovery over flashy settlement numbers(results can vary based on facts and results cannot be promised [legal disclaimer]).

Big Numbers Aren’t Always What They Seem

You’ve probably seen advertisements from large law firms boasting about million-dollar settlements or massive jury verdicts. While these numbers sound impressive on paper, they don’t tell the whole story:

• How much of that settlement actually went into the client’s pocket?
• How much was eaten up by inflated medical bills or excessive attorney fees/costs?

For example:

• I recently secured a $1.5 million settlement for a client who suffered catastrophic injuries in a Phoenix motorcycle accident. While this sounds like a lot—and it is—it was also all the money that was available due to policy limits. The case was worth far more than $1.5 million, but that’s all we could recover because of insurance coverage restrictions.
• In another case, I recovered $100K for a client who was clearly at fault for causing the crash by bending the law to benefit them—a result few lawyers could achieve.

At GAMESQ, PLC, we believe transparency matters. We’ll never mislead you about what your case is worth or prioritize flashy numbers over your financial recovery.

Why GAMESQ, PLC Is Different

Here’s what sets us apart from other car accident lawyers in Phoenix:

1. Purpose Over Profit
   I didn’t become a personal injury lawyer because it was my only option—I chose this path because it’s my purpose. As someone who graduated from USC Gould School of Law—a top 20 law school—I had opportunities most lawyers don’t have access to. I worked as a Silicon Valley tax lawyer before returning to Arizona to protect my community from predatory practices.
2. Fighting for Underserved Communities
   As a Maryvale car accident injury lawyer, I focus on helping underserved communities—particularly Black men and women—navigate complex legal systems and avoid exploitation by large advertising firms.
3. Proven Track Record
   With eight first-chair jury trials under my belt—all involving car or truck accidents—and arbitration experience in every county except Greenlee County, I have the skills and experience needed to handle even the toughest cases.
4. Client-Centered Approach
   From day one, I focus on winning liability fights early, monitoring medical treatment closely, and maximizing settlements so my clients walk away with as much money as possible.
