    Who We Are and What We Do

    LegaFi Law LLC is an Arizona Alternative Business Structure law firm. We combine the services of a traditional law firm that represents clients in class action, mass tort, and multidistrict litigation cases, along with an online marketing platform to connect consumers at all income levels with experienced attorneys throughout the U.S. as co-counsel. LegaFi provides the opportunity for our clients to consult with experienced attorneys who work on a contingent-fee basis, so high-quality representation can be affordable for consumers whose injuries would otherwise remain unaddressed and unresolved.

    We believe that a commitment to our uncompromising values and integrity should always guide our decisions and actions as we pursue our goals. The following are the Core Values that form the foundation of our measurement of success: Lead With Love, Be Trustworthy, Strive For Excellence, and Team Over Self.

    We currently operate in Arizona as a primarily remote company. We believe in flexibility because work isn’t our only commitment in life. We believe in autonomy and encourage everyone to work in the way that is most conducive for optimal results. We believe in inclusiveness and draw on everyone’s strengths to achieve our goals. There are always opportunities to virtually meet with your team and other co-workers to gain insight and foster camaraderie. And we have an annual all-employee, in-person event focused on volunteering and strengthening our intra-company relationships.
