Arizona Medical Malpractice and Professional Licensure Defense Attorneys 

Schneider & Onofry, P.C. has represented a wide variety of physicians in litigation, including family practice physicians, general surgeons, cardiothoracic surgeons, neuroradiologists, and many other specialists. We have been a leading firm in representing dentists throughout the State of Arizona. We have also represented other healthcare providers including nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, chiropractors, physical therapists, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and skilled nursing facilities.

Our attorneys have successfully defended our clients through jury trials, obtaining defense verdicts for a cardiologist, cardiothoracic surgeon, obstetrician, dentists, and registered nurses who provided health care to a vulnerable adult. We have also obtained summary judgments for several of our healthcare provider clients and dismissals of claims at settlement conferences without any payment on behalf of our clients. 

Over the past several years, many medical malpractice claims have been combined with claims that the healthcare provider violated the Arizona Adult Protective Services Act. We are very familiar with the application of that statue and the arguments most often encountered in "elder abuse" claims. We aggressively defend our clients from such claims and file appropriate pretrial motions to limit the potential claims and damages available to the plaintiffs. 

We also frequently represent healthcare provides in administrative, licensing and disciplinary proceedings before their licensing boards, including the Arizona Medical Board, the State Board of Nursing, the State Board of Dental Examiners, and the State Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
