Porter Solomon

The Solomon family has lived in Arizona since the 1870s, with many generations living in the east valley. Porter was born in Mesa as the fifth of ten children. When he was three years old, his father and oldest siblings completed the construction of the Solomon family home in the small farming community of Queen Creek. He grew up spending most of his time outside with his siblings and cousins running around the cotton and corn fields, milking the family cow, swimming in the irrigation ditches, and building forts in the salt cedar trees lining the Queen Creek Wash. He also has fond memories of camping and hunting in the desert and in the pines with his father and siblings, which is an activity he still enjoys today. Porter grew up in a musical household, with all ten children learning to play the piano. He plays the piano, the cello, and the bagpipes (from the ages of 15-16 he played as a volunteer with the Mesa Fire Department’s Pipes and Drums band), and he sings as a First Tenor in the Grand Chorus of the East Valley Millennial Choirs and Orchestras organization. After a two-year mission in southern Chile where he learned to read, write, and speak Spanish fluently, he finished a bachelor’s degree in business administration at Arizona State University. He attended law school at Lincoln Memorial University’s Duncan School of Law in Knoxville, Tennessee where he received a juris doctor and master’s degree in public administration. He also received the President Abraham Lincoln Pro Bono Award for working more than 250 pro bono hours while in law school. Porter is honored to represent his fellow Arizonans in their personal injury cases. He and his lovely wife Lauren live in the east valley with their two adorable children, Adaline and Knox.

Matthew L. Riggs

As a 27-year Arizona attorney, Matt Riggs focuses on personal injury cases. He fights for his clients around the state Superior Court. He argues cases in front of the Arizona Appellate and Arizona Supreme Courts. He also has argued cases in the Federal District Court. Matt’s legal talent led to the creation of a law in Arizona favorable for consumers (unfavorable for the insurance industry) in State Farm v. Connelly. Due to that case, insurance companies have paid Arizona consumers millions of dollars that would have otherwise filled the pockets of insurance executives and shareholders. State Farm fought against Matt and his clients all the way to the Arizona Supreme Court. Matt and his clients prevailed. Another proud moment for Matt came when the Arizona Supreme Court ruled against the insurance industry and in favor of Matt’s client in Webb v. Gittlen. As in the Connelly case, Matt’s passion to fight the insurance industry and protect the rights of consumers led to results benefiting not only his own client, but all of Arizona’s consumers. An unconventional path brought Matt into the legal profession. During law school, Matt worked at UPS (from approximately 2:30 - 8:00 a.m. 5 days each week). He wanted to work in the UPS corporate legal department. Thus, after taking and passing the bar exam, Matt drove a UPS package car. Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed when he found out UPS only hired attorneys with specific skills UPS needs and would only hire established attorneys. Because Matt was concerned about the perception of dishonesty surrounding lawyers, he continued driving a package car. After driving for one year, a respected family friend told Matt that if he ran his own law firm, he could be as honest and ethical as wanted to be. That family friend also explained that the legal profession needed men like Matt who are honest and ethical. Soon thereafter, Matt hung a shingle and started his own law firm. That firm now has nine attorneys and five offices around the state of Arizona. Matt began practicing law in 1995. Between then and now, he has not only served thousands of clients, but he has served God and his fellow man spending thousands of hours as a volunteer coach, as a leader in Boy Scouts of America, as well as in various leadership positions for his church. Matt grew up in Mesa, Arizona, and raised his six children in Gilbert. He enjoys sports and spending time with his children and grandchildren.

Wesland J. Wright

Wes is a Mesa native. He and his wife both attended high school in the east valley where they started dating. After a two year mission for his church in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Wes finished his undergraduate degree graduating Summa Cum Laude from Arizona State University. After ASU, Wes went on to attend law school at the University of Nebraska College of Law. In law school, Wes continued to achieve academic success in addition to winning mock trial advocacy awards and becoming a managing editor on the Nebraska Law Review. Wes and his wife Ashley have five children and live in Mesa. Wes has practiced with the attorneys of East Valley Injury Law since January of 2012. He focuses his legal work in the area of personal injury. He is a member of the Arizona Association for Justice-a distinguished group of plaintiff’s trial lawyers in the state. He is licensed to practice in both state and federal court. Since he began practicing in 2012, Wes has worked to secure several million dollars in significant awards and settlements for his clients. When asked what he enjoys most about the practice of law Wes wrote the following: “The ability to help a person who may have suffered a life-changing injury through a confusing and frustrating process is a challenge. It takes much more than a knowledge of the law; it takes empathy, understanding, and patience. What I enjoy most is helping people through that process, meeting their needs on multiple levels, and securing for them the best possible outcome in the end.”
