Daniel Adelman

Mr. German started his career in 1993 at a large downtown law firm in Phoenix, Arizona, where he gained excellent litigation training and insight into how large corporations operate and defend against claims of wrongdoing. Mr. German was in the firm’s trial practice group. Mr. German’s comprehensive training included all facets of litigation, trials, and appeals. In 1999, Mr. German started his own law firm, The Law Offices of Steven j German. The solo venture quickly became a thriving litigation practice largely due to his unique ability to creatively resolve complex matters and take unsettled cases to trial. Over the past thirty years, Mr. German has established a reputation as a compassionate trial lawyer who tenaciously fights for the best outcome on behalf of all his client’s. He has tried nearly two dozen jury and bench trials in Arizona State and Federal Courts. These included cases against Ford, Firestone, Maricopa County, the City of Tempe, surgeons, podiatrists, radiologists, and various insurance companies. In 2017, Mr. German carried a three-week jury trial in the US District of Arizona and prevailed against a large insurance company. The $7.5 Million verdict was the third largest of the year in the State of Arizona and includes an award of $5 Million in punitive damages. The verdict was upheld by the 9th Circuit in 2020. Mr. German has been published in decisions that have impacted the landscape of litigation in Arizona, which has helped to develop and define critical Arizona case law precedents. In 2003, Mr. German joined forces with Danny Adelman to form Adelman German, A Law Firm, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Their firm grew to include four attorneys and eight support staff and was recognized as a leader in its niche practice areas. In 2018, Mr. Adelman became executive director of Arizona's largest non-profit law firm, and Mr. German continued his trial practice. His focus remains going after insurance companies that cheat their insureds, and representing victims of catastrophic injuries caused by others' wrongdoings: medical malpractice, product defects, motorcycle and motor vehicle accidents, dog bites, and more. Mr. German has most recently taken the helm of Scout Law Group, one of the country’s first non-lawyer owned law firms. With the backing of a multi-billion dollar company, he will architect this unique opportunity to grow and revolutionize the practice of personal injury law across the country, with the intent to expand access to justice.
