I could reach out to him with any questions and they were immediately answered. I would have been lost without the assistance of Shawn throughout the process.

    FAQs About Our Criminal Lawyers

    When accused of a crime, it is important that you understand your rights or have a lawyer who can protect your rights at every step. You have basic constitutional rights such as the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, the right to a speedy, public, and impartial trial, the right to know your charges, and the right to confront witnesses and call your own. In Arizona you also have a few more rights and protections that your lawyer can walk you through. You will have a right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty and the right to bail. You are also protected under a statute of limitations which is 1 year for misdemeanors and up to 7 years or more for felonies. While you have all of these rights and protections, it is possible they can be violated. When you’re arrested for a crime, remain silent, ask for an attorney, and preserve any evidence you have. From there, listen carefully to everything your lawyer will have you do for the best outcome.
    Absolutely. At Dove Law Firm, we defend everyone, regardless of guilt or innocence. Everyone has rights that deserve to be protected and we work hard to protect rights and advocate for our clients equally no matter what. We have successfully reduced charges and penalties for guilty clients, we have helped drop charges for those guilty and innocent, and much more. When you attend your confidential consultation, you should be sure to be completely honest with us. We are bound by an attorney-client privilege to keep everything you say confidential. We will use this information to create a strategy for the best possible outcome. Whether it be fighting the charges, admitting guilt and minimizing punishment, or negotiating a plea deal, we will work hard to find the best defense for your case.
    Cost is an important question when it comes to hiring a lawyer. At Dove Law Firm, we believe everyone deserves a chance at having a quality lawyer advocate for them. Because of this, we are willing to work with you to set up a payment plan. Not only that, but we keep our services affordable so they are accessible. The costs will vary depending on each case. For more serious and complex charges, the cost may be higher. For lesser charges, you could have a lower cost. Felonies tend to be more expensive than misdemeanors. The cost is also influenced by whether you go to trial or negotiate a plea deal. We will discuss cost in detail during our consultation so you know what you are getting into and there are no surprises.
    If you have been arrested in San Tan Valley or anywhere else, the next steps you take are crucial to protecting your rights and the outcome of your case. First and foremost, stay calm and do not say anything. You can tell law enforcement you are invoking your right to remain silent and request to speak to a lawyer. From there, get in contact with our lawyers at Dove Law Firm. We will counsel you on the next best steps. If you are contacted about a search of your car, home, phone, or belongings, do not consent. It is possible law enforcement will search anyway, but not consenting could preserve your rights later on in court. During and after your arrest, take note of everything including the officer names, badge numbers, time, place, and what was done or said. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses as well. All of this information will be helpful for your case later on.
    There are several signs you need a criminal defense lawyer. If you’ve been arrested, even if you’re released right away or sure that you’re innocent, you will need to contact someone at Dove Law Firm right away. Simply being arrested puts you in the criminal justice process and you will want to make sure your rights are protected so you are not unjustly charged. Additionally, if police want to question you about something, you should contact a lawyer. Or maybe you think you broke the law or someone accused you of breaking the law, this is a reason to reach out for a consultation. Working with a lawyer can look many different ways so reaching out for an initial consultation can’t hurt and can only help you protect yourself for the future.
    A misdemeanor is a less serious crime that generally has a maximum penalty of less than 1 year in jail and/or fines in Arizona. First offense DUIs, disorderly conduct, shoplifting, simple assault, and trespassing are all potential misdemeanors. Arizona misdemeanors tend to come in classes with Class 1 being the most serious and Class 3 being the least serious. Felonies are more serious crimes that can come with a prison sentence of more than a year. Felonies also come with much higher fines, probation times, restitution, and other consequences. Felonies in Arizona include aggravated assault, drug trafficking, burglary of a home, armed robbery, and more. Class 1 felony is the most serious and a Class 6 felony is the least. No matter what you are arrested for, you should reach out to an attorney.
