Ms. Mangone currently is currently representing the
defendant in the Maricopa Superior Court for claims for
breach of an employment contract, tort and damages under
the Arizona Trade Secrets Act. This case, captioned A
Better Connection, Inc. v. Matthew Doherty,
CV2007-014952, is in the discovery phase.
She also previously represented clients in the following
general litigation matters:
The Arizona Department of Transportation. In a
public contract dispute captioned Paul Braunstein dba
BasePlans USA v. State of Arizona, CV 2005-091963, Ms.
Mangone drafted numerous pre-trial motions and
pleadings, successfully convincing the Court to dismiss
all but one count from the Complaint. She reviewed
thousands of pages of contractor-submitted invoices and
other "public records" for legal privileges and
protected them from disclosure. She was counsel for ADOT
on a companion lawsuit filed by Mr. Braunstein in
federal court, which alleged that ADOT's Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise program violated his civil rights by
giving preference to minority or women-owned businesses.
This case is captioned Paul E. Braunstein dba BasePlans,
USA v. State of Arizona, et al. (CV06-02726 PHX-JWS).

captioned Committee for the Preservation of
Neighborhoods v. Riffel, Supreme Court No.
CV-06-0336-PR, Ms. Mangone drafted all briefs in this
case at all trial court and appellate levels. The
Supreme Court of Arizona ultimately denied the
Appellant's Petition for Review requesting certiorari.
She also represented the Town of Wickenburg on a breach
of contract dispute with Down to Earth Contractors, Inc.
(DTE) (CV2005-070721). This action arose when DTE
alleged the Town breached an oral contract for emergency
earthmoving services needed to respond to the February
2005 flooding on the Hassayampa River. The case was
settled and dismissed with prejudice, without any
payment being made on behalf of Wickenburg.

against Mohave Electric by the United States Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Docket No. E-0175A-05-0579, Ms. Mangone
