Criminal Defense Attorney Phoenix Criminal Lawyers Arizona

Criminal law firms help people accused of violating one or more laws, as the case against them calls for. They defend against drunk driving cases, drug offenses, family matters such as domestic violence charges and child abuse charges, assault charges, theft crimes, sex offenses and prostitution, misdemeanor charges, white collar crimes, other misdemeanors such as shoplifting and traffic offenses and drug offenses such as marijuana, and cocaine. They also help defend other serious felonies such as murder and homicides, charge conspiracies, and burglaries.

It’s very likely that you’re not familiar with criminal law in Arizona. That’s your defense attorney’s job so do yourself a huge favor – act respectfully and appropriately with the legal authorities and let an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer help you with the legalities of your case.

If you feel comfortable that the lawyer can help you at the end of the consultation and they feel comfortable representing you, you’ll be able to retain them by giving them the requested retainer fee.

The more complicated a case is, the more time it takes on the attorney’s behalf and therefore it will cost more to go through the procedures to build an effective defense and then go through the actual trial process.

1) You represent yourself. Here’s some questions regarding whether you should choose this option: Do you know the law? Do you know courtroom procedure? Do you have a realistic possibility of getting off the charges or lessening the charges? REMEMBER you have only ONE chance at this – there’s no do-overs in court.

2) You use the appointed county defender’s office. More questions to ask: Are they good enough to represent you in your case and achieve your goals? Will they have the time to devote to your case? Will they be responsive to your communications and needs?

3) You hire your own defense lawyer. Why do that? A paid criminal lawyer will generally be experienced, versus being fresh out of law school. A paid defense attorney will make sure they have the time to fully prepare your case to get the best results. Their reputation is what they live on, unlike the county defender.

The paid criminal attorney will also make sure they’re available to you at an earliest opportunity, versus waiting for weeks for that return call or text message from an over-burdened county defender. More questions: Can you afford a paid criminal attorney? In reality, can you afford NOT to hire them?

You have to make up your own mind. But no matter what choice you make, you have to live with that choice for the rest of your life. That by itself should be the most important qualifier in deciding how to defend your case.

However, if you really did it and it’s a serious crime, the chances of you getting off the charges are much less likely. However anything is possible. Over the course of time, many people that committed crimes have gotten off the charges on a legal technicality. Therefore that’s definitely something we always ask about and look into.

We accept people on a case by case basis because there’s a lot of variables involved. If you know a juvenile under 18 that’s in trouble with the law go ahead and call us. Our goal is to always help people avoid further legal consequences.
