Himmelstein & Adkins

What Himmelstein & Adkins does

Himmelstein & Adkins, LLC is a boutique business law firm headquartered at 6720 N Scottsdale Road, Suite 261 in Scottsdale, Arizona (DBA: HA Law). Founded in 2002 by Ben J. Himmelstein and Todd M. Adkins, the firm operates as an Arizona LLC with approximately 9 attorneys licensed in Arizona, Texas, California, and Hawaii, serving clients across the Southwestern United States. Its practice is organized around five interconnected areas: Business & Corporate Governance (entity formation, secured financing, tax planning, employment and non-competition agreements), Real Estate Law (acquisition, development, leasing, finance, and foreclosure), Commercial Litigation (construction litigation, collections, creditor's rights, shareholder disputes), Estate Planning & Asset Protection, and Alternate Dispute Resolution & Mediation.

The firm delivers services through a partner-led, referral-driven model rather than a technology platform. Underlying tooling consists of standard legal practice and document management systems; the firm does not disclose proprietary technology, AI, or data products, and its product surface is service-defined rather than software-defined. Revenue is generated on a professional-services, engagement-by-engagement basis, typically billed hourly or via fixed fees per matter, with no public pricing. GTM relies on professional referrals, the firm's website and educational blog content, attorney profile pages, and accumulated industry recognition (Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent, Chambers USA, Top 100 Lawyers in Arizona). The firm is independently owned by its partners with no parent company, no outside funding, and no public listing.

The customer base spans business clients in the medical, dental, technology, and startup sectors; commercial real estate developers, lenders, and investors involved in office, retail, multi-family, master-planned, resort, industrial, and single-family projects; and individual estate planning clients. Marketing channels include the firm's website, a content blog, and third-party validated attorney recognition. The firm also extends its commercial offering through a referral relationship with Refund Arrow for tariff refund services.
