Cristina Perez Hesano on Money Radio 1510 – May 30, 2025
Cristina Perez Hesano, founder of Perez Law Group in Glendale, Arizona, was featured on the “Business for Breakfast” segment of Money Radio 1510. With over 15 years of legal experience in the Valley, she shared her journey from aspiring attorney to respected trial lawyer and business owner.
Cristina credited her father for inspiring her legal career, fulfilling her parents’ dream of higher education by attending Hofstra University, Brooklyn Law School, and ultimately graduating from ASU’s College of Law. She started Perez Law Group in 2010 with humble beginnings—just herself, a computer, and a rented room. After initially practicing bankruptcy law, she relaunched her firm in 2019 with a focus on personal injury.
Her firm emphasizes quality service and community impact over flashy advertising, relying heavily on word-of-mouth referrals. Cristina is known for her commitment to helping “the little guy,” and she spoke passionately about the importance of advocating for clients who face insurance companies alone.
The firm currently includes four attorneys and a total staff of about 20. Cristina highlighted the importance of building a strong team culture and pouring into her staff to create a positive work environment. She also touched on the importance of estate planning, a service handled by her colleagues Jeff Wolf and Steve Janssen.
Cristina concluded by expressing her vision for continued community involvement, mentorship, and leadership development.
