In Phoenix we’re somewhat unique because there’s 12 lawyers three principles and each of us does something slightly different relating to managing estates. I do estate planning, my partner, Scott Farris, does trust and probate litigation, and our managing partner, Mark Dyer, is primarily represents fiduciaries and does administration of trusts and probates and conservators. We pull together the ability to service a pretty wide range of problems so we’re not just guessing at what we’re doing. And we’ve been doing it for quite a long time.
The thing that I almost always tell clients whether they’re hiring a lawyer or someone else is don’t hire somebody because they were recommended make your own judgement. So have a personal meeting and judge whether or not this is somebody that you want to work with and that’s probably more important even than those other things that you would commonly see if you looked at a list on Google or something, which are, of course, knowledge, experience, cases that you’ve handled, and things like that.
I joined the firm in 2015. I joined a firm that had been established by my partner, Mark Dyer’s father in the late ‘70s and Mike is a second-generation Lawyer, Scott Farris joined them a number of years after that to do the litigation that needed to be done for them. And we’ve grown to 12 lawyers that do estate planning and litigation and administration with an emphasis on special needs planning and everything related to conservatorships and guardianships and trust administration.

This short video features estate planning attorney Mark A. Bregman as he talks about what it’s like to work with him and what clients should expect when hiring him as an estate planning attorney. He pointed out that the firm distinguishes itself by having twelve attorneys, including three principals, each with a focused area of practice within estate management. He concentrates on estate planning, while his partner, Scott Farris, handles trust and probate litigation. The managing partner, Mark Dyer, primarily represents fiduciaries and oversees the administration of trusts, probates, and conservatorships. Together, the team offers comprehensive services across a wide spectrum of estate-related issues, drawing on extensive experience rather than speculation.
He often advises clients that when selecting an attorney—or any professional—it is unwise to rely solely on recommendations. Instead, he encourages individuals to meet personally with a prospective attorney to determine whether that person is someone they feel comfortable working with. In his view, that judgment is often more important than common evaluation factors such as knowledge, experience, or prior case history typically highlighted in online listings.
He joined the firm in 2015, entering a practice originally founded in the late 1970s by the father of his partner, Mark Dyer. Mark went on to become a second-generation attorney, and Scott Farris later joined to manage the firm’s litigation needs. Over time, the practice has expanded to twelve attorneys who handle estate planning, litigation, and administration, with particular emphasis on special needs planning, conservatorships, guardianships, and trust administration.
