I am a Criminal Law Specialist certified by the State Bar of Arizona and I have been practicing law for 30 years. I teach other attorneys how to challenge illegal searches. While some attorneys like to advertise that they are "former prosecutors," I am proud to say that I have NEVER been a prosecutor! Prosecutors usually have the evidence on their side so being a defense attorney takes much more ingenuity, preparation and skill.
I have represented numerous clients over the years and get many referrals from satisfied clients. I handle all my own cases. If you don't need me, I will tell you so. I will be honest with you throughout my representation as to how your case is looking.
I have listed a few select cases in the "Cases" section to show you a sample of the type of work that I have done for clients. If you would like to speak with me about a criminal matter, I would be happy to meet with you at my office or speak over the phone. Thank you.

Kristen Curry is a life saver!! Facing 30+ felony charges worth 3 life sentences I had been through 3 different law firms.
