Talented, Tough and
Courtroom-Tested

Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Mensing, or AZA, is first and foremost a trial firm. Our more than 60 lawyers have been in a trial nearly every month since 2016.

In 2026, we have already tried 15 cases.
In 2025, 16 cases.
In 2024, 18 cases.
In 2023, 21 cases.
In 2021 and 2022, we tried 27 cases.
In 2020, when many courts were closed because of COVID-19, we tried 6 cases.
In 2018 and 2019, we tried 23 cases.

Why do these numbers matter so much?

Using what we know from our constant presence in the courthouse, we create both settlement power and the ability to win at trial.
When a lawsuit matters to your business, you don’t need a “litigator” who endlessly “prepares” a case, then advises you to settle. You need the power of a firm that is in trial monthly, that controls a docket and costs, and that identifies what is important to a judge and jury.
