Our Firm

McDowell & Hicks Law, PLLC was founded in 2012 by attorneys Katherine L. McDowell and Gerald L. Hicks who, after working separately for many years with other law firms, decided they wanted to create a law firm devoted to providing high quality legal representation for car accident and personal injury victims in Prescott and the surrounding areas who were injured and suffering through the negligent acts of others. That law firm, McDowell & Hicks Law, would allow them to practice personal injury law in accord with their highest ideals of how they believe personal injury law should be practiced, using their skills, expertise, and experience gained over many years of law practice to care for and protect their clients, to fight for justice for them, to right the wrongs to which their clients had been subjected, and to give their clients their full personal individual attention.

Insurance companies are known to be multi-million-dollar bullies. They often refuse to pay for the full and fair value of an injured accident victim’s claim. McDowell & Hicks Law is here to stand up to the insurance companies and to relentlessly fight for justice for our injured clients so that they can receive the full and fair value of their personal injury claims.

Based on our years of experience we know that many personal injury law firms delegate case work to a single lawyer who is handling a large caseload and who, by necessity, therefore has a limited amount of time to spend on each case. In contrast, at McDowell & Hicks Law, we purposely limit the number of cases we take in order to assure that we have a more than adequate amount of time to give each case our close personal attention throughout the duration of our representation. Further, at McDowell & Hicks Law, we take what we believe is a unique approach to handling each personal injury case: at McDowell & Hicks Law, you will be represented by a team of two dedicated, highly experienced, skilled, and successful car accident and personal injury attorneys, Katherine L. McDowell and Gerald L. Hicks, who have over 45 years combined legal experience.

Working as a team, we will work together on every aspect of your case to provide you with truly high-quality legal representation. McDowell & Hicks Law’s unique approach to handling cases, combined with the extensive time we are able to put in on each of our cases due to limiting the number of cases we take, results in our firm’s lawyers being thoroughly and exceptionally well prepared for settlement negotiations or litigation. As a result, we have a reputation with insurance companies, their adjusters, and their lawyers for always being well prepared and ready, willing, and able to aggressively and skillfully represent our clients in either settlement negotiations or litigation, which frequently results in insurance companies being more willing to settle our clients’ cases for their full and fair value than they would have been with law firms who are less well prepared for settlement or litigation. Our unique approach to law practice has resulted in exceptional results for our clients.
