I was the attorney for a bank Senior Vice President whom the federal government sought to destroy personally and financially in wide-ranging high profile litigation during the RTC bank takeovers in the 1980's. My client was the only one of several other affiliated people who bested the government. My client dedicated his book to me. See Atchison, "Legal Extortion".

The law firm of Munger and Munger, P.L.C. was founded in 1977 by Clark W. Munger and me. In 1997, Clark Munger was appointed to serve as a Superior Court Judge and the name of partner Mark E. Chadwick was added to the new firm name of Munger Chadwick, P.L.C. Martindale-Hubbell, an attorney directory and rating service, has given the law firm and me the A-V rating (the highest rating obtainable). In addition, I am listed in the "Bar Registry of Preeminent Lawyers" (representing three to five percent of the nation's lawyers). The Registry recognizes my expertise in the fields of Commercial Law and Real Estate Law. As well, I have been selected by my peers to be listed in the prestigious "Best Lawyers in America", which is recognized to be one of the most definitive guides to legal excellence in the United States.

The practice focuses on U.S., as well as international, business, commercial, corporate and real estate development, zoning and construction law, commercial and general civil litigation, international law, water, utilities, administrative, municipal, employment, immigration, collections law, insurance law, insurance defense appeals and lobbying. The firm is very active in lobbying at the local, state, and federal levels. As such, the firm is multi-dimensional and capable of solving problems for clients in all branches of government in a broad array of areas.

Munger Chadwick, P.L.C. currently consists of two partners, several associates, a government relations specialist, paralegals, and secretarial staff. Additionally, the firm is associated with Lawrence V. Robertson, Jr., as of counsel, whose primary practice is in the areas of water law, natural resources, regulated industries and municipalities. In March of 2002, the law firm of Lizárraga, Robles, Tapia y Cabrera S.C. of Hermosillo, Sonora, México, became associated with the firm on an of counsel basis, assisting the firm with legal matters in Mexico, and providing the firm with further presence there as well as the full capacity to represent clients in Mexico.

Munger Chadwick, P.L.C. provides high quality legal services comparable to those of the finest law firms in the United States. However, the law firm prides itself on personal service which a smaller firm can best provide. The firm's clients have included some of the largest companies in the world, as well as medium-sized and small firms operating only in Tucson.

In January 2006, the firm began an additional of counsel relationship with Michael J. Meehan, whose practice includes appeals, media law and commercial litigation.

I have been a partner of the firm for 33 years.
