Criminal Law

When you are accused of a crime you face the possibility of severe consequences and the damaging effects of a maligned name. While the criminally accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty and have several rights guaranteed them under the U.S Constitution, these rights may be overlooked if you are not aware of them. Therefore, it is vital that you contact a Phoenix criminal defense attorney when you learn of your charges to ensure that your rights are protected.

"This firm represents clients arrested at the I-8 immigration check point near Yuma, Arizona. These clients are generally charged with Possession of Marijuana/attempt and possession of drug paraphernalia/attempt. Last week alone we got seven of these cases dismissed. That means no convictions on these clients records. (Wellton Justice Court, Wellton, Arizona)"

In addition to having an attorney that will protect your rights, you need an attorney with experience in criminal defense that knows the law well and will defend your innocence with skill. An accomplished defense attorney is essential, especially if you are facing severe criminal charges where your basic freedoms are at stake.
