About Our Firm

We promise to anticipate problems, suggest workable solutions, and add value through our efforts.

Salmon, Lewis & Weldon was formed in 1995 with the goal of providing our clients the highest quality legal services at a reasonable cost.  Since then, our firm has added prominent attorneys in several practice areas to meet the needs of our growing clientele.  Today, we have an unsurpassed team of veteran lawyers and hard-driving young professionals who remain committed to the goal of meeting all of our clients’ needs and expectations on a cost effective basis.

Our firm has leading attorneys in the areas of business and finance, commercial litigation, commercial real estate, electric power and utilities, environmental law, government relations, Indian law, insurance coverage and defense, special districts and municipal law and water rights and natural resources.

We have the strength to help our clients meet any legal challenge, yet our attorneys have not lost the sense of personal responsibility that is at the heart of the professional relationship.  Beyond working diligently for our clients, our attorneys strive to understand your legal and business needs so that we can anticipate problems, suggest workable solutions, and add value through our efforts.

Our clients range in size from individuals and families to one of Arizona’s largest utilities, a national insurance company with over $140 billion in assets, and an international aerospace company.  We represent, among others, irrigation districts and other water providers, municipalities, manufacturing companies, food and drink processors, national retailers, shopping center owners and other real estate developers and investors.
