More information about the background and experience of Ralph J. Blake can be viewed at the link below.
Ralph Blake is a third generation Arizonan, born and raised in Phoenix and the oldest of 11 children. Growing up in a big family taught him a lot of things, one of which was never to be the last person to sit down at the dinner table. The Blake family has lived in Arizona for more than a century dating back to the late 1800's. His father and grandfather both worked in the meatpacking industry, so it's not surprising that he along with his ten younger brothers and sisters worked there as well. That job plus student loans enabled Mr. Blake to pay his way through the University of Notre Dame and law school at Arizona State University. His parents required everyone to study hard in school, to work at after-school and summer jobs and to play sports.
Attorney Ralph Blake is ably assisted by the following staff members:
