Van O'Steen Brings the Law to the People
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 Supreme Court agreed and, as a result, people now receive useful information about an assortment of 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.

Arizona Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Medical Malpractice Lawsuits
In the context of all medical services delivered in Arizona, serious errors are relatively uncommon. But, when they occur, the consequences can be devastating—emotionally and financially—to those affected. For more than 50 years, our lawyers have helped victims of medical malpractice receive everything they deserve for their losses.
Birth Injury Malpractice
Birth injuries occur in approximately one to three percent of births in Arizona. Common causes of birth injuries include improper pre-natal care, failure to diagnose a disease or misdiagnosis of it, improper delay in inducing labor, failure to perform a c-section when required, failure to respond to apparent fetal distress and improper monitoring and care of the baby following delivery.
Failure to Diagnose
If properly and timely diagnosed, most forms of cancer have a high recovery rate. Early detection is critical to survival rate and allows less-invasive treatment options. Because any delay can be costly, a medical professional who fails to diagnose cancer leaves the patient at risk of a bad outcome.

Because nothing replaces personalized advice from an experienced personal injury lawyer, we also offer free consultations to answer your legal questions about car accidents and other injury claims.
Our Law Firm's History
O'Steen & Harrison, PLC originally was formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1974. This innovative law 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, our attorneys have helped thousands of individuals and families protect their legal rights.
Helping Car Crash Victims Since 1974
For five decades, our lawyers have represented car accident victims against insurance companies, corporations and government entities. Our success rate is more than 99% of car accident cases settled or won at trial. We work hard and smart for our clients to insure they're fully compensated for all the losses—tangible and intangible—they experience as a result of a car accident.
Other Legal Cases
Legal Malpractice
People hire attorneys to help them navigate legal matters with the expectation that counsel will act in a competent and ethical manner. A mistake by a lawyer that results in economic loss to the client may give rise to a legal malpractice claim. Our law firm handles legal malpractice claims involving personal injury cases.
Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance companies have a well-deserved reputation of taking advantage of their policyholders. In Arizona, every insurance company owes a duty of good faith to its insured. This requires an insurance company to provide full compensation in a timely manner. Too often, insurance companies improperly deny valid claims, make lowball offers or unreasonably delay resolution of claims.
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
If you suspect your loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, you should immediately contact an attorney experienced in nursing home cases. There are an array of federal and state statutes and regulations in place to protect vulnerable people and residents of care facilities. We can help you with the devastating effects of abuse and neglect inflicted on your loved one in a nursing home or other care facility.
Dog Bites
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year. Twenty percent require medical attention and more than 30,000 people undergo reconstructive surgery as a result of their dog bite injuries. In Arizona, dog owners are liable for injuries caused by their dogs. If you or a loved one has been bitten or attacked by a dog, our lawyers can help.
Medical Devices
FDA approval and regulation of medical devices does not guarantee that any particular device is safe. In fact, after medical devices are introduced in the market, defects can be apparent and lead to disastrous consequences for patients who depend on those devices. Our lawyers are committed to holding medical device makers responsible for harms caused by defective devices.
Pharmaceutical Liability
Our lawyers have represented consumers in some of the most important cases brought against manufacturers of dangerous prescription drugs. Drug makers often conceal information about adverse events in an effort to keep a profitable drug on the market. In doing so, they mislead prescribing physicians and the patients who rely on the medications. We hold drug makers accountable for serious injuries resulting from defective drugs.
