Our Mission

We believe every individual matters. We treat you as we would want to be treated ourselves.

Despite what they have seen on TV, most people have no idea how the criminal justice system works and how (in spite of what they were taught in high school) the presumption of innocence often seems like a presumption of guilt.

Many of the Arizona criminal statutes impose a minimum mandatory sentence if a person is convicted at trial. We want our clients to understand the risks that are unique to their case and make an intelligent decision about accepting or rejecting a plea offer.

Types of Criminal Law

Once a person is convicted and sentenced, there are still legal remedies available to reverse the conviction, obtain a new trial, or receive a new or different sentence.

Assault and Battery
