Burn Survivor • Advocate • Voice for Justice

Stephanie Nygard brings a powerful combination of personal experience and compassionate advocacy to her role as Medical & Legal Liaison for AZ Burn Lawyers. A survivor of a life-altering burn injury, Stephanie knows firsthand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these cases carry — not only for the victims, but for their families as well.

After suffering severe injuries in a traumatic fire-related accident, Stephanie turned to Wade & Nysather for legal help during one of the most difficult times in her life. Through that process, she found not just attorneys — but allies. AZ Burn Lawyers helped her to rebuild and heal and now she is part of the team.

Today, Stephanie is the face and voice behind many of the firm’s community and client outreach efforts. She serves as a bridge between burn survivors and the legal support they need, helping others feel seen, heard, and empowered to take the next step. Whether working with families, survivors, or care providers, she brings warmth, authenticity, and a deep understanding of what’s at stake.

Stephanie is currently pursuing a leadership role within the Arizona burn recovery community and serves as a strong advocate for patient-centered care. Her mission is simple: make sure no burn victim feels alone — and that justice is within reach.
