SUZIE ZACHAR
Attorney
Suzie Zachar is a litigation attorney at Friedl Richardson handling catastrophic injuries and supporting the rights of victims of personal injury in the State of Arizona. She spent the first 20+ years of her career representing insureds, insurance companies and Fortune 500 businesses, which has given her an unique and advantageous perspective. Most plaintiff attorneys begin and end careers representing victims, so this provides a background to know and understand how the adversary evaluates, thinks and operates. Ms. Zachar has handled more than 200 arbitrations and trials, as well as, over 500 depositions. She has also been asked to serve as a Mediator by trusted colleagues in order to effectuate settlements for other cases handled by other attorneys. Her diplomatic skills and ability to understand both sides of the case, are appreciated and demonstrated by a good track record for achieving settlements during mediations.
Ms. Zachar has also obtained favorable awards and settlements for her clients in cases involving premises liability, product liability, security and negligent hiring, serious injury motor vehicle accidents and nursing home malpractice. In 2024, Ms. Hardy secured $2,500,000.00 and $2,400,000.00 settlements in two separate cases for her clients who were severely injured due to the negligence of others. Her attention to detail and competency to understand the complexity of liability hurdles, severe injuries, lifetime disabilities and what it takes to win a case were the keys to success for those clients.
In her spare time, Ms. Zachar enjoys gardening, tennis, traveling and spending time with her family.
