O'Steen & Harrison, PLC originally was formed
in Phoenix, Arizona in 1974. This innovative firm, which
described itself as a "legal clinic," was dedicated
to providing affordable legal services to people who traditionally
had little or no access to lawyers. Since then, the firm
has helped thousands of individuals and families protect
their legal rights.
In 1977, Van O'Steen went to the United States Supreme Court
and won the landmark case giving lawyers and other professionals
the right to advertise.
Before 1977, lawyers in all 50 states were prohibited from
advertising. They could not even publish their fees or information
about important legal rights. Mr. O'Steen took this important
case to the Supreme Court because of his sincere belief
that consumers were being harmed by not receiving helpful
information.
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed,
and, as a result, people now receive useful information
about an assortment of professional services they might
need.
Esquire Magazine featured Mr. O'Steen in an article entitled
"Van O'Steen Brings the Law to the People." He
was designated a member of "America's New Leadership
Class."
O'Steen & Harrison has
grown to a highly respected accident and injury law firm
with five offices conveniently located throughout Arizona.
Every client's case is personally handled
or supervised by one or more of the firm's State Bar certified
personal injury specialists. Only about 1% of Arizona lawyers
have achieved the level of experience and skill required
for this important certification. This extra skill costs
you no more.
The firm is av-rated (the highest rating) by the prestigious
Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, and is a member of the
Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers.
O'Steen & Harrison is
committed to protecting the rights of injured accident victims.
The firm never represents insurance companies or product
manufacturers. We only help people!
We have represented thousands
of people, including some of the largest and most important
injury cases ever brought in the United States.
Among them are silicone breast
implants, Fen-Phen weight loss drugs, Norplant birth control
devices, Gammagard intravenous blood products, Rezulin diabetes
drugs, Sulzer hip implant devices, Baycol
cholesterol drugs, Prempro
hormone replacement drugs, Vioxx arthritis drugs, Ortho
Evra birth control patch, and NME
Psychiatric Hospitals abuse cases.
In the single largest damages
case in the history of the world, the attorneys of O'Steen
& Harrison were selected by the Arizona Attorney General
as the only Arizona law firm to represent the State against
American tobacco companies. As a result, Arizona taxpayers
will receive more than three billion dollars to cover the
costs of treating tobacco-related illnesses, maintain educational
programs to prevent young people from smoking, and fund
other important State programs.
If you have been injured by Bextra, the lawyers
at O'Steen & Harrison will work hard to get you everything
you rightfully deserve for your losses.
