35+ Jury Trials as 1st Chair
5 Arizona Counties
20+ Years of Trial Experience

Why the Record Matters

Most lawyers never try a case to verdict. A Phoenix trial attorney with 35+ first-chair jury trials is rarer still, and for eighteen of those years, the work was entrusted by the institutions that pick their trial counsel most carefully.

Trial experience is the scarcest credential in civil litigation. The overwhelming majority of cases settle, and most attorneys, including most personal injury lawyers, will go an entire career without standing first chair in front of a jury. The number beside this is not a tally Jennifer Rebholz sought out. It is the volume that insurance carriers and corporate defendants assigned to her, repeatedly, across nearly two decades of defense practice.

That is the point of the record. Institutional clients do not return a difficult case to a lawyer who cannot perform when it reaches a jury. They keep score, and they reassign accordingly. 35+ first-chair trials to verdict, tried against the opposing counsel named in the table, in the courts and counties listed, is what sustained trust from the most demanding clients in the field looks like when it is written down.

That same first-chair ability now stands with injured people and families: the defense playbook turned to their advantage. As a Board-Certified Specialist in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death, a credential held by fewer than 2% of Arizona attorneys, Jennifer Rebholz brings that record to catastrophic injury and wrongful death matters statewide.

In the courtroom: jury trial advocacy, voir dire, opening statement, direct and cross-examination of fact and expert witnesses, and closing argument: the full arc of a civil jury trial, performed as first chair.
