We found Jack Litwak through a friend as we were trying to set aside my husband 10 year old DUI conviction, at first we were a bit skeptical because we had seen many lawyers prior to him that had told us we couldn't do anything, and we just had to live with it. Nevertheless we decided to give him a call. He was very professional and informative, explained the process in a way that we could understand. We were expecting for the whole process to take a long time but in a matter of weeks the court ruled in our favor. I absolutely recommend Jack Litwak to all my friends in AZ who are looking for a Professional honest Lawyer.
Jack was an OUTSTANDING attorney and truly saved me from severe charges as well as facing jail time. I’m a college student and a first time offender who’s life was nearly ruined. Jack got involved after a prior attorney had put me in a really bad position, and I ended up pleading to jail time. The time did not fit the crime and I knew I was not represented with correct council. I quickly began to search for an attorney after I entered the plea, and found Jack. He obtained an amazing result saving me from four months of jail time and a felony DUI. I had spoke to almost 6 attorneys prior to jack, and began to give up hope due to other attorneys not seeing a light at the end of my situation. Jack met up with me personally and was very blunt about my situation. He constantly stayed in contact, answered every single question and concern, and I dealt with him directly at all times. He was truly worth every cent and would 100% refer him to anyone in need of a great attorney!

Jack Litwak obtained his B.A. from SUNY at Buffalo and his J.D. from Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. Throughout law school Jack focused on developing his litigation and trial skills. Jack practiced as a certified limited practice attorney with the Maricopa County Public Defender’s Office, Maricopa County Legal Defender’s Office, and the City of Phoenix Public Defender’s Office where he gained valuable courtroom and trial experience. He also spent three years clerking at civil litigation law firms in Phoenix. Jack began his legal career litigating matters involving allegations of personal injury and wrongful death, premises liability, construction defect, product liability, and general tort defense. Jack then spent several years with the Maricopa County Public Defender’s office where he handled hundreds of felony and misdemeanor cases ranging from simple assault and drug possession, drug trafficking, white collar, dangerous crimes, all the way up through murder. Jack’s passion for trial work and litigating constitutional violations, coupled with his dedication to his clients, resulted in dozens of dismissals and numerous not guilty verdicts.
Throughout his experiences Jack recognized not only his passion for litigation but also for fighting for the underdog—those who often have no one else to support them when their liberty or wellbeing are at stake. Jack believes there are two sides to every story and that everyone is entitled to have their story told and their constitutional rights protected regardless of race, gender, or class. Jack leaves no stone unturned, as he explores and investigates every possible issue in a case. Jack firmly believes that people need an attorney who truly cares about their clients, who would represent them the same way he would want to be represented, and who will fight as hard as they can to level the playing field at trial and to win. No matter the situation, everyone is entitled to the best representation possible.
In his spare time Jack volunteers as an assistant coach for the Arizona State Sun Devil Mock Trial team where he helps train future lawyers.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer
Jack was amazing with my case regarding defending myself. He was assigned to me as a public defender since I wasn't working and self defense caused a legal issue. Jack went above and beyond to find things that the normal person wouldn't recognize or see. Jack found that my amendment rights had been violated alot and he stood up for me, argued with a judge about issues we had not been told about and never gave up on me or my case! If you are ever in need of an amazing Criminal Defense Lawyer Call Jack!!!

Professional and Exceptional Criminal Defense Attorney
Mr. Litwak defended us against false allegations in a restraining order case. He met us under very short notice and completed his research and preparation in less than 24hours. His counsel was essential in helping us obtain an interpreter during court proceedings as English is a second language. Mr. Litwak was able to find criminal information against the challenging party and to crossexamine the witnesses precisely. We are not familiar with court procedures and found ourselves very comfortable because of the professional way Mr. Litak handled tbee case. Mr. Litak came prepared. He did his best to help us and we are very pleased with the outcome. If you ever find yourself in need of criminal defense call Mr. Litwak first.

Excellent Defense Attorney - Entrusted My Daughter's Defense to Jack and He Delivered
Jack was hired by me to defend my daughter in a criminal theft/ shoplifting case. The crime had serious consequences, but Jack defended her as a first time offender and, despite several twists and turns, the outcome could not have turned out better. As an attorney, he was always available, always concentrated on the case, and always kind and courteous to me and my daughter. I highly recommend Jack.

Hope Amidst despair
The love of my life is a good and ambitious young man. Together, we looked into the future brightly with hopes and dreams yet to be fulfilled.
Our future became placed on an unknown hold, when his past conviction led to his detention, awaited a nerve wracking sentence, that crushed our hopes and dreams of ever getting a second chance to be together again. I can't quite describe the feelings of loneliness, sadness, and despair that hanged over our heads during that difficult time.
In the midst of loneliness and despair, I heard about attorney Jack D. Litwak through a friend, and a meeting was set to consult with him.
I felt apprehensive about meeting with him since the future situation with the love of my life already seemed bleak.
My meeting with Jack in September 2016 went far greater than I had anticipated. I remember feeling at a loss before meeting with him, but I left the meeting feeling hopeful and confident.
I have been very impressed with the service rendered on behalf of, and for representing the love of my life.
Jack has been organized, practical, knowledgable, honest, positive, punctual, and professional. The most first impression I had of him during the meeting was, he was sensitive to my concerns, and took the time to answer all of my questions thus relieving my anxieties and frustrations.
He made every effort to visit the love of my life awaiting his sentence, at my request and offered much needed words of encouragement.
Responses (phone, email) from him came in a timely manner, and he offered frequent updates on the situation.
Above all, on 18th November 2016, he fought for the love of my life to get him a minimum sentence instead of the presumptive 4-6 years or more.
I have been more satisfied with the service I received from attorney Jack Daniel Litwak, and refer the law firm to family and friends without hesitation.
I have felt immense peace about the outcome, and I look forward to being together again with the love of my life.

Fantastic attorney!
I retained Jack after receiving a ticket in Phoenix. Having never been in any trouble before I was scared and did not know what to expect. I was facing large fines. Jack got the case dismissed with a single motion. He made me feel comfortable and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great attorney and great guy
Jack represented me after being injured in a car accident. I tried to work with the insurance company myself but felt like they were working me over. Once Jack got involved he fought for me until the very end. He fought for a settlement nearly ten times larger than what the company was offering me originally. He negotiated my medical bills down a lot, putting as much money as possible in my pocket.
Aside from the great result, one of the best parts of working with Jack was his willingness to listen to me and keep me updated through out the course of my case. He really cared about fighting for me and was very compassionate about the issues brought on by my accident. He is a great attorney and a really great guy. I highly recommend him.
