To ensure this, our attorneys will always be on call to answer any queries that you may have pertaining to your case.

Impeccable Track Record
What sets us apart from other law firms that you might be evaluating is the fact that we always strive to obtain the best results for our clients. Our aim has always been to have your case dismissed, and to have you acquitted. During the pre-trial and trial phase, we do everything possible to secure victories for you or your loved one.
We have carved a niche for ourselves by having the ability to file the most suitable pre-trial motions. This ensures that evidence is excluded based on unlawful searches/seizures. We will also strongly challenge the credibility of witnesses who are to testify against you as an attempt to secure you an early victory. In most cases that we’ve handled, prosecutors have been forces to either drop their cases or seek an out-of-court settlement.
We have helped hundreds of Arizona residents to avoid convictions in cases related to DUI, domestic violence, petty and grand theft, battery, and other serious offences. More often than less, we use our impeccable negotiation skills to obtain charge and sentence reductions. Unlike other firms which avoid some types of cases, we have the capacity to handle whatever case that you will present to us ranging from serious felonies to minor misdemeanors.
We Take What We Can Handle
As mentioned above, once you hire us, you will be assigned a competent attorney who will personally represent you throughout the entirety of your case. This is unlike in other law firms where lawyers typically get swamped with too many cases to the extent that they can’t competently represent their clients. At Phoenix Criminal Attorney, you will be assigned a lawyer who is skilled to handle your case till the end.
