Andrew B. Turk

Partner, Chair of Litigation

Practice Areas: Litigation, Insurance Coverage, Real Estate Litigation, Insurance Defense, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Professional Malpractice Defense, Commercial Litigation and Business Divorce

Andrew (“Andy”) Turk has thirty years of litigation experience which he uses on behalf of businesses and business owners in commercial litigation, including contract disputes, trade secrets, unfair competition, and other business torts. Whether representing a doctor, a family business, or a large company, Andy believes in developing relationships and works closely with his clients to achieve their goals. Importantly, Andy’s experience allows him to help clients explore all their available options and allows him to recognize when traditional litigation will not meet a client’s needs.

Andy has served as a volunteer judge pro tem since 2000. In that capacity, Andy has presided over more than 15 jury trials, scores of civil, criminal, and juvenile hearings and over a hundred settlement conferences. He brings the experience gained as a pro tem to bear when serving as a neutral in private mediations and arbitrations, providing alternative dispute resolution services in a wide range of matters. He assists parties to resolve disputes arising from torts, professional malpractice, and business disputes, including business “divorce.”

Andy graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State University in 1988. He received his juris doctorate from the University of Washington in 1992. Throughout his career, Andy has been an active participant in the activities of the State Bar as well as the Maricopa County Bar Association. He currently volunteers as an arbitrator for the State Bar’s Fee Arbitration Program and is a member of the Board of Directors of the County Bar’s Litigation Section.

Andy has been named a Southwest Super Lawyer for commercial litigation since 2013. He has been recognized by America’s Best Lawyers for commercial litigation since 2013 and for construction litigation since 2019. He has twice been named one of the Top 100 attorneys in Arizona and has been recognized as an Arizona business leader on a number of occasions. In 2023, Phoenix Magazine named him a “Top Lawyer.” Andy writes frequently on legal subjects and is a sought-after speaker. He has been an Adjunct Professor at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law since 2013. Over the years Andy has volunteered with a number of other organizations including the Foster Care Review Board and Valley Youth Theatre.

Andy is very proud to have a comic book character named after him. He is also a twin (he assures us he is the good one).
