Robert W. Boatman

Shareholder at Gallagher & Kennedy

With a legal career in personal injury and wrongful death that spans over 37 years, Bob is tireless in his dedication and resolve to seek justice for each and every one of his clients. From the very first meeting with any prospective client, Bob’s easygoing manner engenders trust because he is naturally compassionate, sincere and possesses a unique ability to understand and communicate with clients from all walks of life. This same direct, common-sense approach has proven to be extremely effective in cases that are ultimately heard by juries.

Over the course of his career, Bob has obtained some of the largest verdicts in Arizona, including jury verdicts or awards of $17,000,000, $14,000,000 and $5,000,000. In addition, Bob has obtained settlements in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Bob is known by his clients and professional colleagues alike to be a man who is deeply connected to his clients and their causes. For Bob, client relationships don’t often end as a case concludes, especially when an outcome presents an opportunity to affect social change. Bob successfully compelled two major automotive manufacturers to admit their vehicles were defective, yielding a recall to fix the defect in over 500,000 vehicles, which was a significant win for his client and the consumer at large.
