(Phoenix) - I LOVE to litigate. I love a passionate argument and all the attorneys at Laboy Law Office have no problem with "putting the fighting gloves on" for our clients. Maybe it's because I have always been a fighter. I have training in Taekwondo, Krav Maga, boxing, and jiu jitsu. Or, maybe it has something to do with where I was born, successfully fighting to escape the mean streets of Brooklyn, NY. I know what it means to be an underdog -- and how to overcome it. Our office will go to bat for you with the same drive and energy.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and Journalism from Brooklyn College which TIME Magazine then labeled, “The Poor Man’s Harvard.” I also hold a Master of Arts in Mass Communications from California State University, Fullerton where I graduated at the top of my class and where I was selected the student commencement speaker.
I attended The College of Law at Arizona State University. I graduated law school early -- a difficult task -- and focused on Criminal Justice. I also earned a certificate in Indian Law. I was also selected the student commencement speaker for the law school's very first Winter Graduation Ceremony.
Before graduate school, I worked as an award-winning reporter and writer for The Wall Street Journal and N.Y. Newsday. I also have worked as a media spokesperson, writing press releases and appearing on TV, radio, and in print news stories regarding crisis communications. I have also had stories and columns printed in the Orange County Register, for the New York Times Co., The Kansas City Star, La Voz, Hispanic Link News, and in newspapers around the world, including the United Arab Emirates and England.
I first practiced law as a felony trial prosecutor with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. I prosecuted and took many cases to trial as a Deputy County Attorney including armed robbery, drug sales, DUI, forgery, and aggravated assault cases. I love going to bat for the underdog, especially when the media has rushed to judgment assuming a client's guilt. I have no problem setting up a press conference if it helps a client. I know criminal law from the newsroom to both sides of the courtroom.
I have focused my practice exclusively on criminal defense. Currently, the office is lead counsel on cases including: Conspiracy; several DCAC cases; Transportation of Drugs for Sale; Illegal Control of an Enterprise; Money Laundering; DUI cases; and sex assault involving a minor.
Laboy Law Office's mission is to be assertive and aggressive in your defense while offering you top customer service. Let Laboy Law Office be your Personal, Private Criminal Defense Team.

Wouldn’t recommend
We did hire Mr Laboy . His office and himself have very good sales techniques on how they can help with all the resources at their disposal. But yet did not utilize any of them . One year and half in our case never meet him until or court date . Not once did he get to know me as a person to fight for...

Fantastic
I went to Julio Laboy because after spanking my kid his mother decided to press charges in order to help her Family Court case against me. At the time I had a different attorney who wasted months doing nothing and then told me that I should plead guilty and accept a felony on my record. I fired tha...

A True Advocate
Last year my son was facing a serious criminal matter. The first lawyer we had was terrible, condescending, and refused to properly advocate for my son. I felt like we had just paid for a public defender. No push back on any aspect of case that would have helped my son. Finally we made the decisi...

My most heartfelt thank you to Laboy & Associates. Such an amazing team. I had legal issues in July and didn't know what to do.
