The defense never rests.
Practice areas
Representing clients in felony and misdemeanor matters in Arizona State Courts as well as appeal post conviction relief matters. A large percentage of my criminal defense practice is focused on representing non-citizens charged with crimes. Foreign visitors or immigrants face even greater problems when they are arrested on criminal charges and have very specific needs when addressing their criminal matters.
