Mesa Criminal Defense Lawyer

DUI Defense: From First-Time To Extreme DUI

Whether you’re facing a first-time DUI or an Extreme DUI, we have you covered. Navigating a charge for driving under the influence (DUI) requires immediate action to protect your freedom. We can negotiate a plea deal that often reduces hefty penalties into something less. We will also look into what driver’s license restrictions you will be facing and will help you navigate and reduce them. From very serious to less serious, we handle every case with care and will ensure you walk away having experienced the best possible outcome.

ARS 28-701.02 Criminal Speeding Tickets

You could face a criminal speeding ticket for driving more than 35 mph in a school zone, going 20 mph or more over the speed limit in a business or residential area, or driving over 85 mph anywhere in the state. Under the strict parameters of A.R.S. § 28-701.02, this crime will likely get you a class 3 misdemeanor and will be on your record forever if you are convicted.

Misdemeanor & Aggravated Assault Defense

Being charged with a misdemeanor or aggravated assault can make a significant impact on your future. You will have the crime on your record permanently and you will likely face hefty penalties. Common defenses include arguing that you were acting in self-defense, you lacked intent to harm, or you were mistakenly identified as the perpetrator. We will evaluate your case to determine the best path forward.

Domestic Violence & Family Crime Defense

You can be accused of domestic violence or other family crimes by a spouse, former spouse, someone you live with or used to live with, a co-parent, a romantic or sexual partner, or any other close family members. In most cases, domestic violence instigates a mandatory arrest, even if there is no visible injury. In the complex world of family, false accusations can be common. Whether you’re guilty or not, we have you covered.

Criminal Traffic Violations & MVD Hearings

When you violate traffic laws and the violation becomes a crime, you will face court as well as an administrative hearing with the state suspension board. This can happen for DUIs, accumulating too many points on your driving record with the Arizona Department of Transportation MVD, and serious car crashes. During this hearing, you will be notified of your license suspension or revocation. Our lawyers will represent you during this hearing, bringing up evidence and fighting for a reduced effect on your license.

Criminal Trespassing Allegations

Criminal trespassing is split into three degrees. Third-degree criminal trespass is the least serious in cases where you knowingly enter or remain unlawfully on a non-residential property. Second-degree is more serious and is given if you unlawfully enter a residential structure or fenced residential yard. First-degree criminal trespass is given if you enter or unlawfully remain in a residential structure, commercial structure, or commercial fenced yard.

Misdemeanor & Felony Theft Defense

You can be charged with theft if you knowingly take property or services without permission and with intent to deprive. The theft charge becomes a misdemeanor or felony depending on the value of the item or service and how it was taken. Regardless of how serious your case is, our lawyers are prepared to fight for your rights and create a solid defense strategy. Contact us today to get in contact with one of our skilled lawyers.

Fighting Orders Of Protection & Injunctions Against Harassment

Orders of protection and injunctions against harassment exist to prevent contact between certain people if there is a lack of safety for an individual. These orders can have a significant impact on your day-to-day life as they restrict you from being in certain places and talking to certain people. Our lawyers can help you navigate these orders and can even help get them removed if necessary.

Property Crimes: Criminal Damage

Criminal damage includes damaging a person’s property, defacing property, tampering with vehicles, disabling or interfering with utility services, damaging landscaping or property structures, or interfering with digital or business systems.
