An Assault Can Leave More Than Physical Wounds
A violent attack—whether in a public space, at a bar, or even in your own home—can leave deep emotional, physical, and financial scars. Medical bills, lost wages, fear, anxiety, and trauma can affect every part of your life.
While the criminal justice system may pursue charges against your attacker, it doesn’t always help victims recover what they’ve lost.
That’s where we come in.
You Deserve More Than an Apology—You Deserve Accountability
At AWD Law, we represent victims of physical assault who want to take back control of their lives. Through a civil lawsuit, we help you seek compensation from your attacker—or from a third party who failed to keep you safe, like a negligent business or property owner.
We’re here to hold the right people accountable and make sure your voice is heard.
We Help Assault Victims Recover Compensation For:
- Medical expenses, hospital visits, and follow-up care
- Lost income and reduced ability to work
- Emotional distress and psychological trauma
- Pain and suffering
- Long-term disability or disfigurement
- Punitive damages, in cases of extreme misconduct
How the Process Works:
- Free Consultation
We start by listening. We’ll help you understand your legal rights and whether you have a viable civil case. - Investigation and Case Building
We’ll gather evidence—police reports, medical records, witness statements—and determine who can be held financially responsible. - Pursue Compensation
We seek justice through negotiation or trial, whichever path gets the best result for you.

Who can help?
Civil Claims Are Different From Criminal Charges
Even if criminal charges are never filed—or if your attacker is found not guilty—you may still be able to recover damages through a civil lawsuit. The burden of proof is lower in civil court, and the focus is on your recovery, not punishment.
We can also pursue third-party liability claims if a property owner, business, or event organizer failed to provide adequate security or created unsafe conditions that contributed to the assault.

Mike Wozniak (and the rest of those that helped at AWD), I wanted to let it be known how appreciative my wife, my girls, my family, and I are of you and your office. You have given us faith in humanity. You did everything you could and then some. People always refer to lawyers as “greedy” and about the money, but, because of you I will always beg to differ. Thank you so much for giving us a fighting chance and allowing us to gain some much needed ground. AWD and Mike Wozniak worked tirelessly to get the best outcome possible with my best interest and my goals ALWAYS in mind. You and your office will always have a special place in my heart.
I had a great experience working with Michael and his team. Very responsive and professional. They kept me up to date on all matters, without me having to contact them for updates. I would recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.
AWD Law is the best in town! When I was looking for someone to help with family law, they were able to help with everything (finances, custody, division, etc.). The team who helped me through my case was absolutely amazing and never left me wondering what was happening next. Jenny Staskey was so helpful the entire time and provided exactly the advice I needed. There were so many finances that needed to be sorted through for the divorce and Jenny was able to walk me through the entire thing. She is an absolute genius with numbers as well as family law! She was my saving grace during all the proceedings. Everyone was very responsive and prompt with anything that was needed or questions that I had. They are very personable and care about you and your case. This team allowed for peace in a stressful time! I would recommend AWD Law firm, specifically, Jenny Staskey, Zach Markham, and Zach Hope 100% of the time! Thank you!
I think Whitney Cunningham is the absolute best lawyer in Flagstaff! He was kind, knowledgeable, kept me apprised of my case as it progressed and answered all of my questions. His high level of professionalism and responsiveness made the legal process easy to understand. I am grateful that Whitney was able to resolve my case. I highly recommend AWD Law for all of your legal needs!
Mike Wozniak helped me out of a toxic marriage. I am so grateful to him! I feel like he understood and empathized with my situation. He did not allow my ex husband to take advantage of me and did not back down. He always replied to me quickly and answered my questions. I also have to complement his staff who were so professional and caring. Thank you Mike for such a great outcome to my case and for my new happy life!
