Biography

I am available 24/7, 365 days a year for free consultations at ‪(602) 730-1756‬.

As a staunch advocate for justice, I hold a firm belief in the Constitution's promise of the presumption of innocence and the right to fair and equal treatment for all individuals. I believe everyone deserves a second chance, the opportunity to remain with their loved ones, and the assurance that their rights are respected and upheld.

Throughout my career, I have handled hundreds of criminal cases and have secured excellent outcomes for my clients.

I take pride in my conscientious approach, my thorough understanding of the law, and my ability to achieve favorable results through vigorous representation, innovative problem-solving, and a willingness to proceed to trial when necessary.

I am deeply committed to each of my clients and relentless to achieve the most favorable results possible. I have substantial experience in cases where the State has issues with evidence, particularly in DUI charges involving drugs or alcohol.

Some of the favorable outcomes I have achieved include:

- Successfully arguing for dismissals in various drug and alcohol-related cases, such as drug DUIs, driving under the influence of alcohol, disorderly conduct, First Amendment issues, and cases involving first-time offenders.

- Securing a dismissal in a felony case where my client was at risk of facing 200 years in prison.

- Obtaining multiple dismissals and not guilty verdicts in DUIs related to marijuana/cannabis.

- Achieving dismissals due to police misconduct and evidence tampering, as well as securing not guilty verdicts at trial for multiple assault charges stemming from police misconduct.

- Reducing hundreds of DUI cases from extreme DUI to reckless driving or other non-DUI dispositions.

- Securing dismissals in numerous cases involving domestic violence, assault, criminal damage, and disorderly conduct.

Legal Answers
Q. how I have a warrant out for my arrest for disorderly conduct and I never went to jaiI nor received any citations
A: For a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge, the State has several avenues to bring charges against you. One is through personal service via a citation and a release from arrest. The other is through detention, arrest, and a probable cause finding in front of a judge in jail. The 3rd avenue, in your case, is what is referred to as a long formed complaint or a misdemeanor summons sent to your last known address.

In your case, if you did not see a judge and did not receive a citation, you have been summoned via mail. Because you likely did not receive the summons and missed a court date, a warrant was issued for your arrest.

A skilled attorney can file a motion with the Court to quash the warrant and investigate whether charges were properly filed against you or not. ... Read More
Q. If i am 17 yrs old and my bf is 20 yrs old and my mom calls the cops on him will he get in trouble.
A: If you both are sexually active, yes, your boyfriend could be arrested charged with statutory rape under Arizona law because it seems like he is 24 months older than you.

Unfortunately, there is no defense available for him because your boyfriend more than 24 months older than you.
Q. I got a trespass charge from Walmart, but I received permission from the manager that I could return. Can it be dropped?
A: It is a defense to trespassing charges that you had permission to be on the premises--if you have proof in the form of texts or a letter that should be sufficient to get the charges dropped.

For the future, you have to go through Walmart corporate process to get written confirmation from Walmart that you are no longer trespassed.

Specifically, Walmart has a process whereby you can get a trespass lifted, call 1-800-WALMART and you can start the application process--especially if you have approval from the store manager.
