With our team of criminal and DUI law specialists, we handle a wide range of cases. We have experience in criminal defense across all areas of criminal law. Our experienced criminal defense attorneys represent Arizona residents accused of any felony and misdemeanor violations of Arizona laws, including but not limited to practice areas like:
A conviction for even a misdemeanor-level crime in a smaller city in Arizona can still leave you facing serious legal and administrative consequences: days, weeks, or even months in jail time, fines of hundreds or thousands of dollars, probation, restitution costs, community service, driver’s license suspension, mandatory attendance at treatment or education programs, and more.
Worse, a criminal record can follow you long after you complete the terms of any sentence a court imposes on you. Here are a few examples:
A successful legal defense against a criminal charge requires experience, finesse, and aggressive representation. At AZ Defenders, our team of criminal defense lawyers is smart, effective, and recognized as among the best criminal defense law firms in Arizona.
AZ Defenders criminal lawyers know that people can make mistakes. If you are facing any criminal charge, it is crucial that you hire a defense attorney with a proven track record of defending criminal cases.
Our attorneys are licensed in Arizona and admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. We have board-certified DUI specialists and criminal law specialists.
Our legal team stands between our clients and the criminal justice system throughout the entire legal process to reach the most favorable outcome possible.
Beginning with your first free consultation with us, we conduct an in-depth review of the charges and evidence against you, including laboratory procedures and test results, and investigate whether the police officer followed proper procedures in gathering and preserving the evidence.
We vigorously pursue every available legal defense for you. Our law firm has access to critical resources, including forensic investigators, private crime scene investigators, and other professionals who can present evidence to counter the prosecution’s expert witnesses’ testimony.
Many criminal cases never go to trial. In many successful cases, we have been able to expose enough weaknesses in the evidence to have cases dismissed. Even when the case against you may seem “open and shut,” our attorneys are skilled negotiators with decades of experience in plea negotiations with prosecuting attorneys to secure reduced charges and penalties.
If your case goes to a jury trial, the prosecution must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. This is the highest evidentiary standard in our legal system. Our Arizona criminal defense lawyers have over 150 years of combined litigation defense experience, creating reasonable doubt against prosecution evidence:
Every criminal charge has multiple elements that the prosecution must prove. If the prosecution fails to prove even one required element beyond a reasonable doubt, the charge cannot result in a conviction.
Defending you against serious charges and equally serious consequences in a criminal case is more than an exercise in technical skill and competence. Your defense lawyer needs to see you as a human being in a difficult situation, not just as a case number.
At AZ Defenders, our attorneys are passionate about what we do for our clients and fight aggressively to defend every case to reach the best possible outcome. We will treat you with respect, explain the law, your Constitutional rights, and your legal options in plain English, and will guide you every step of the way in preparing and conducting your defense.
The best testimony about how we treat our clients comes from the people we have already helped.
Whether the alleged offense is a violation of a local ordinance or a felony, AZ Defenders will take you and the charges against you seriously.
