Shalev Amar, Esq.- Manager and Arizona Counsel

Shalev Amar is the Manager and co-founder of Katz & Amar, LLP.  Prior to co-founding Katz & Amar, LLP Mr. Amar was a Managing Partner for twelve years of a consumer law firm that exclusively handled motor vehicle claims on behalf of consumers.

Mr. Amar has an outstanding academic background having  graduated Cum Laude (top 20%) from both the University of Arizona (where he  majored in Political Science) and the Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law (currently ranked the 24th Best Law School in the entire nation by U.S. News & WORLD REPORT). At U of A, Mr. Amar received an Award for Academic Distinction for achieving a 3.903 grade point average for the 1997-1998 academic year. In Law School, Mr. Amar was named and awarded as a William H. Pedrick Scholar for the Spring Semester of 2001 in recognition of academic excellence.

For those of us who are fortunate, there is a duty to give back and pay it forward.  That’s why Mr. Amar was the Philanthropy Chair of Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity and Sigma Alpha Epsilon Social Fraternity while he attended the University of Arizona. In Law School, Mr. Amar participated in Junior Law, a program where middle school students are taught debate.

An animal lover, Mr. Amar donates 2% of the Firm’s yearly net profits to the Humane Society.

Over the years, Mr. Amar has appeared in several television interviews on abc providing consumers with both consumer alerts to be aware of and guidance about their Lemon Law rights.

Mr. Amar is licensed in Arizona (State and Federal Bars), The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, United States District- Northern District of Indiana, United States District Court- Eastern District of Wisconsin. Since May of 2004, Mr. Amar has litigated in the area of consumer protection focusing on Lemon Law, Consumer Fraud and Breach of Warranty cases. During this time, Mr. Amar arbitrated over fifteen cases through Court Mandated Arbitration, prevailing in twelve, and was counsel in seven jury trials, prevailing in five.  He is responsible for successfully upholding court cases where the consumer prevailed at the trial court level in both the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Arizona Court of Appeals.

Although Mr. Amar is  an experienced litigator who has repeatedly defeated manufacturers  in court when necessary, settlement is often preferable to litigating  through trial for both consumers and motor vehicle, RV, or boat companies. To that end, Mr. Amar has developed diplomatic and professional relationships with the representatives of motor vehicle, RV, and boat manufacturers over the years. Ultimately these relationships benefit the consumers that Katz & Amar represents, by aiding in the speedy and amicable resolution and settlement of their legal claims out  of court, generally within only 1 to 3 months. Mr. Amar has trained and guided the Katz & Amar team to continue such positive relationships to quickly and amicably resolve claims on behalf of consumers whenever possible as well.

Mr. Amar is a member of the American Bar Association, the American Association of Justice, is a 2019 Lawyers of Distinction award winner, a 2020 Advisory Excellence Certificate of Excellence award winner, and is being featured in The Top 100 Lawyers Magazine. Mr. Amar’s mission is to change the way consumer representation is carried out by training and supervising his team in a client centered approach to representation where clients’ interests ALWAYS come First!

In his personal life Mr. Amar is an avid reader, audio book fan, and an admitted self development junkie. He is into self development, meditation, fitness, nutrition, sports, public speaking (focusing on self development and trauma release techniques and guidance), and even karaoke (or singing in the shower).
