How We Build Your Case For Success

Through proven strategies and a meticulous eye for detail, we have built a reputation as a firm who gets the best outcome for clients. There are several steps to building a case that is strong enough to beat the prosecution. First, an exemplary attorney should have thorough knowledge of the Arizona laws and penal code. Next, we will review all of the evidence that the state has gathered against you; who are the witnesses, and are they credible? Were there any errors in the police reports or lab data? Were any of your rights violated during the arrest or while you were in police custody? In addition, analyzing the history of both the prosecutor who will present the case against you and the judge who will preside over your case can provide valuable insight when determining the best defense for your case.
