Senior Partner
Kessler Law Group was founded by Eric W. Kessler in 1983 when he graduated cum laude from Arizona State University Law School.

He was also chosen to be one of the few lead attorneys for capital cases in Maricopa County by the Maricopa County Capital Representation Committee.
Eric has also expanded his criminal practice to include white collar and other serious criminal defense cases, both in state and federal court. Mr. Kessler currently practices in the following areas: serious crimes defense work, tax lien foreclosures, family law, and civil litigation.
