Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice covers all felony and misdemeanor charges in Arizona. We represent clients facing accusations ranging from drug crimes to violent offenses. Our approach combines thorough evidence analysis with strategic courtroom preparation to protect clients' rights and freedom. With decades of experience handling complex cases, we provide personalized defense strategies tailored to each client's unique circumstances while maintaining open communication throughout the legal process.
DUI Defense
Specializing in DUI defense since 1998, we challenge breathalyzer accuracy and police procedure violations to protect driving privileges. Our experience with Arizona's strict DUI laws enables us to identify weaknesses in prosecution cases. We handle first-time offenses through extreme DUI charges, working to minimize penalties and preserve clients' driving records while ensuring their legal rights remain protected throughout the process.
Felony Defense
We defend clients facing serious felony charges including murder, sex crimes, and white-collar offenses. Our team investigates evidence, challenges witness credibility, and develops comprehensive defense strategies. With experience handling complex cases involving multiple charges, we work to reduce penalties or secure dismissals while providing clear guidance about potential outcomes and defense options throughout Arizona's legal system.
Expungement
Our expungement services help clients set aside past convictions to improve employment and housing opportunities. We guide clients through Arizona's conviction set-aside process, preparing comprehensive petitions that demonstrate rehabilitation. By gathering character references and documenting post-conviction achievements, we present compelling cases to courts showing clients' commitment to law-abiding lives while navigating all procedural requirements for successful outcomes.
Probation Violations
We defend clients facing probation violation allegations by challenging evidence and negotiating with prosecutors. Our approach focuses on maintaining probation status while addressing technical violations. When necessary, we advocate for modified probation terms rather than incarceration, leveraging our understanding of Arizona's probation systems to protect clients' freedom and future opportunities through both negotiation and courtroom advocacy.

Questions
What does a Phoenix criminal defense attorney do?

What types of criminal charges do you handle?
We handle all felony and misdemeanor charges including DUI, assault, drug crimes, sex offenses, white-collar crimes, and homicide cases across Arizona state and federal courts.
How are felony and misdemeanor charges different?
Misdemeanors carry maximum six-month jail sentences while felonies involve longer prison terms. Felony convictions also result in permanent loss of certain civil rights like firearm ownership and voting privileges.

Arizona allows setting aside convictions through court petitions. While not complete expungement, this process shows rehabilitation and can improve employment opportunities by demonstrating completed sentence requirements.
