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.
