Robert D. Bohm
Robert has spent his entire legal career advocating professionally and personally for the public good by promoting personal and corporate accountability, and safeguarding the rights of individuals and their families. He is a board member and Vice-President of the Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association and is a past president of the Red Means Stop Coalition. He was appointed by the Arizona Governor to serve as a member of the Governor’s Advisory Council on Spinal and Head Injuries, where he serves as Vice-Chair of the Council. His entire legal career has been spent seeking justice for his clients through the Arizona and United States Courts, which make up the world’s finest legal system.
After graduating from the University of Arizona College of Law, Robert began practicing law in Arizona in 1978. Since then he has represented thousands of Arizonans in legal matters and has limited his practice to personal injury law beginning in 1983. Since 1992 he has been certified by the State Bar of Arizona as a Specialist in Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation. Robert has served as President of the Arizona Association for Justice (Arizona Trial Lawyers Association), and has served that organization as chair of its Continuing Legal Education Committee, Legislative Committee and Advanced Trail Advocacy Conference. With the American Association for Justice he serves as a member of the Law Schools Committee and both the Resort Torts Litigation Group and the Spinal Cord Injury Litigation Group. He is also a member of The Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America, the premier group of lawyers who handle collisions involving semi-trucks. Admitted to practice in all Arizona state Courts, all Washington state courts, the United States District Court for Arizona, the 9th Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals, and before the United States Supreme Court, he is an active trial lawyer.
His peers have given him the highest rating of “av” from the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, the world’s largest lawyer-rating service. He is a multiple year selection as an Arizona “Super Lawyer” by Southwest Super Lawyers Magazine. This annual publication identifies the top 5% of attorneys in each state, as chosen by their peers and through independent research.
Robert has also been inducted as a member of both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. The MDAF is an organization recognized as the most prestigious group of trial lawyers in the United States. Only attorneys who have won multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for their clients are inducted into these organizations. MDAF was founded in 1993 and includes many of the top trial lawyers in the country among its members. Currently fewer than 300 lawyers are members of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Certification by the MDAF provides recognition of the skills, experience, and accomplishments of only lawyers who have obtained settlements or verdicts in excess of $2,000,000.00. It also establishes a national network of highly experienced colleagues who engage in information exchange, assistance, and professional referral.
For over 33 years, Robert has limited his practice to the representation of people injured through the negligence of others, including while on the property of others, in motor vehicle collisions and wrecks caused by drunk drivers, while in a wheelchair, as well as those who have been harmed by their own insurance companies. He has represented thousands of Arizonans who have been injured by the misconduct of others. On behalf of his clients he has collected millions of dollars from large insurance companies, major corporations, and numerous others who have caused harm to those clients.
