Scam The worst kind

Hired Cari paid her $23000.00 and it has been a year and half of nothing. I have begged to talk to her set up a meeting in her office guess who dropped in to introduce himself Todd. After 20 minutes I said Carie is not coming no her Arthritis is kicking up. I called the day before to make sure the me...eting was still on. My nephew is in prison for 7 life terms for drug charges so this was no little thing we are dealing with. They promised we would be in court in a year. Not even a paper signed in a year and half. Disgusting people taking advantage of people the way they do and this isn’t the first time. How can they look at themselves in the mirror and say I did a good job today they absolutely can not.

Scam artist.

There is not a bigger organization of scam artists then these 2 shysters. they will pour a sweet potion in your ear telling you exactly what you want to hear and then take your money and run. For over a year, they delayed a resolution to my case due to incompetency and a whole library of "personal t...ragedies", and when they finally were threatened to be fired they got it done all wrong and cut and paste the whole thing from another document that had nothing to do with my case. They will make excuses again and again for their lack of knowledge or progress on your case and blame it on their family and office problems. Do some research before you choose these hacks. You will regret it if you don't. According to the Arizona bar she already has a judgement against her for her incompetence and lack of ethics for this same problem. Just google the case information from AZBars site.

Extremely thankful

Incredible attorney !! We hired Cari and her husband Todd Nolan to appeal our daughters conviction. They are a formidable defense team. We found them to be kind and compassionate with our daughter and fierce in her defense. Thanks to their tireless efforts she has been released.

Appeals lawyer | Aug 15

Relationship: Family member

"Cari is my wife, partner, and best friend, but I am writing here to tell the world that as a criminal defense/appellate attorney, she is the most gifted, fierce, brilliant, and compassionate attorney that I have ever known. She is a champion for justice and a voice for people. Unlike many other attorneys who advertise that they handle appeals, Cari is truly an appellate attorney with numerous published opinions to boot. She has briefed cases all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Her oral arguments before our appellate courts are as persuasive and refined as her writing. I have watched as she persuaded our Court of Appeals to reverse a first degree murder conviction. Cari handles appeals, post-conviction relief matters, petitions for writ of habeas corpus, set asides, and restoration of rights cases. Most importantly, Cari gives people hope! If there is a way out of it, she will find it!"

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the opportunity to both work as a associate attorney with Cari while at the same firm and to also represent co-defendants in cases since we have both begun our own firms. She was and continues to be an invaluable resource to me. She is my appellate "go to" on issues and procedure but a formidable opponent in court as well. Clients are lucky to have her on their side. Without reservation, I highly endorse Cari for her legal skills, her vast knowledge of the law and her passion in our field."
