What We Defend

Most calls start with a traffic stop on the 51, the 10 or Camelback Road. Some start with a knock on the door.

DUI and Extreme DUI

First DUI, extreme DUI, drug DUI and repeat cases. We look hard at the stop, the test and the machine.

Criminal Charges

Drug charges, assault, domestic violence, theft and warrants. We go to court with you, every time.

Bail and Release

We ask the judge for fair release terms, so you can go home to work and family while the case goes on.

License Hearings

MVD hearings and interlock questions, handled next to your court case so nothing slips.

How the Work Gets Done

Most of it happens after dark, at a desk or on the phone. Tap a photo to see it larger.

I called at 1 in the morning from a gas station. A real lawyer called back in twenty minutes and told me what to do next.

Jordan K. Tempe

Calm the whole way through. They filed my MVD hearing request the next morning so I did not miss it.

Priya S. Chandler

My son was arrested in Scottsdale. They explained every step to our family without making us feel judged.

Questions People Ask at Night

What is the 15 day deadline after a DUI arrest in Arizona?

If the officer took your license or served you a suspension notice, you usually have 15 days from that day to ask the MVD for a hearing. If you miss it, the suspension can start on its own. This is separate from your court case.

Do I have to go to my arraignment?

The date is printed on your citation or release papers. Do not miss it. In many cases a lawyer can appear with you or file papers ahead of time, so call us before that date.

Should I talk to the police about my case?

You have the right to stay silent and the right to a lawyer. Be polite, give your name, and say you want to talk to a lawyer first. Then stop talking about the case.

Can I call at night or on a weekend?

Yes. Arrests happen at night, so our line is answered at night. A lawyer can call you back within the hour, including weekends and holidays.

Is the first call really private?

Yes. What you tell us to get legal help stays private, even before you hire us. Call from your own phone, not a jail phone, when you can.

Across the Valley. Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, Chandler, Gilbert and Peoria, in city courts, justice courts and Maricopa County Superior Court.
