Burch & Cracchiolo, P.A. is a Phoenix-headquartered, full-service law firm founded in 1970 by Frank Haze Burch and Dan Cracchiolo, operating as a privately held Professional Association under Arizona law. The firm delivers legal services across more than 22 practice areas — including business and corporate law, commercial litigation, real estate, construction law, insurance defense, personal injury and wrongful death, medical malpractice, family law, labor and employment, criminal defense, bankruptcy, estate planning, liquor licensing, mediation, creditors' and debtors' rights, tax, tribal law, zoning and land use, appellate practice, construction defect litigation, and receiverships — to corporate, governmental/tribal, and individual clients across the Southwest. Its core technology is generic legal practice and case management software; no proprietary technology, AI, or platform product is disclosed. The firm employs roughly 100+ people, including 40+ attorneys, and operates from three offices: Phoenix (1850 N. Central Avenue, Suite 1700), Las Vegas (7432 W. Sahara Avenue, Suite 101), and Orange County/Santa Ana (400 N. Tustin Ave., Suite 370).

The firm's revenue model is traditional professional-services billing: hourly fees (one disclosed rate is $450/hour for mediation/arbitration by Keith A. Olbricht) for most engagements, with contingency-fee arrangements for plaintiff personal injury and wrongful death work. Distribution is entirely direct via the three physical offices, supplemented by the Primerus international law firm alliance for cross-jurisdictional and cross-border referrals. Marketing is content-driven, anchored by AZ Big Podcast sponsorship, attorney-authored thought-leadership articles, the Star Teacher community giving program, and a 4.8-star Google rating supported by client testimonials. The firm is led by President Susanne Ingold (named March 2024, first female president in firm history) with senior partner Andrew Abraham on the executive committee; David Villadolid chairs the Primerus Quality Assurance Board. The firm has been continuously recognized by U.S. News Best Law Firms, Best Lawyers in America, Southwest Super Lawyers, Chambers USA, Martindale-Hubbell, and the BBB (A+).
