Joseph D’Aguanno, an Italian New Yorker with a rich multicultural background, grew up in an environment that celebrated diversity. Amidst a circle of Italian and Hispanic friends and family, he also shared close relationships with individuals from Greek, Chinese, Irish, and Hindu backgrounds. His childhood was marked by his parents’ work commitments, which led him to spend considerable time engaging in sports and moving between the homes of friends, providing him with a spectrum of experiences that shaped his upbringing.

The life experiences Joe encountered instilled in him a profound understanding of the significance of family and friendship, transcending the boundaries of loyalty and affection. These experiences underscored the principle that every individual deserves justice and equality, but respect is an earned attribute. He embraced the belief that respect could be garnered through both being respectful towards others and through steadfast dedication, hard work, and integrity.

Having obtained two Bachelor of Science degrees from the University of Arizona, Joe earned a Juris Doctor degree from Arizona State University College of Law. His academic journey included the distinguished role of Production Editor for Jurimetrics: The Journal of Law, Science, and Technology. The American Bar Association honored Joe with the ABA’s Section of Science and Technology Award for Outstanding Senior Editor. Joe also received the law school’s Outstanding Pro Bono Award acknowledging his commitment to help those who could not afford legal services.

In his professional career as an attorney, Joe has been associated with some of Arizona’s biggest jury verdicts. He has consistently received accolades and recognition, with AVVO recognizing him as a Top Lawyer, Martindale-Hubbell acknowledging him through Peer Review and Client Ratings, and U.S. News – Best Lawyers listing him for his contributions to personal injury litigation. Additionally, he has earned the distinction of being named among America’s Most Honored Lawyers, a recognition reserved for the top 10% of American lawyers. Under his leadership, Gage Mathers Law Group has become a globally recognized personal injury law firm, which has achieved multiple placements in U.S. News – Best Lawyers’ “Best Law Firm” publications.

Joe’s legal practice is devoted to advocating for clients who have been seriously injured or who have lost loved ones due to the wrongful conduct or negligence of others.
