A criminal charge is more than a single hearing — it's a chain of decisions that will affect your freedom, your record, your work, and your family for years. We help you make the right ones, in the right order.
Direct, prepared, present at every hearing — and ready for trial when the offer isn't fair.
If you've been arrested, charged, or contacted by investigators, the choices you make in the next two days will shape every choice afterward. Statements to police, consent to searches, scheduling decisions — each is a fork in the road, and most can't be walked back.
From the moment you call us, we go to work: preserving evidence, protecting your right to remain silent, attending your initial appearance, and beginning the work of building a defense before the State has had time to harden its narrative.
The State has a head start. Our job is to close that gap — fast.
Whether your matter is a first-time misdemeanor or a serious felony, we approach it with the same preparation: gathering the discovery, interviewing witnesses, scrutinizing the procedural record, and identifying every challenge available under the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
DUI, extreme DUI, aggravated DUI, drug DUI, reckless driving, hit-and-run, and license suspension proceedings. We challenge stop legality, breath/blood evidence, and chain of custody.
Possession, possession with intent, transportation, and sale. We pursue Prop 200 diversion eligibility, challenge search-and-seizure, and negotiate for treatment-based dispositions where appropriate.
DV-designated assault, disorderly conduct, criminal damage, and threatening. These cases carry collateral consequences — firearms rights, immigration, custody — that demand careful handling from day one.
Simple and aggravated assault, robbery, weapons charges. Self-defense, defense of others, and Stand-Your-Ground arguments where the facts support them.
Shoplifting, theft, fraud, forgery, embezzlement, identity theft. Often the strongest defense is a financial and documentary one — and that's where our preparation shows.
Probation violations, modification petitions, set-asides, and record clearance. The case isn't always over when the sentence is — there's often a path to restoring what you lost.
Don't see your charge? Call us — most criminal matters in Arizona fall within our practice.
From arrest through resolution, here's what the path actually looks like.
Every case is different, but most Arizona criminal matters move through the same procedural stages: arrest, initial appearance, preliminary hearing, arraignment, pre-trial conferences, trial readiness, and either trial or settlement. At each stage there are decisions to make — and we make them with you, not for you.
We've laid out the full process — what happens at each step, what's at stake, and how we help — on a dedicated page.
Every hour counts. Free, confidential consultation — we'll review the facts, explain the process, and help you decide what to do next.
