Best Law Firm hands down.
I had the privilege of engaging the services of Attorney for Freedom Law Firm, and I worked closely with Emma and Braeden. Throughout the entire year that I worked with them, they provided invaluable assistance and unwavering support. Even when faced with what seemed like a grim outlook, they managed the impossible and achieved a complete dismissal of my case. If you find yourself in a difficult legal situation and are seeking the finest legal assistance available in the state of Arizona, your search should end at the doors of Attorney for Freedom Law Firm, where Emma and Braeden are ready to assist you. My heartfelt thanks go out to them for their outstanding work!

the best You'll Ever find
The first words the Judge said at the last court is “you have an excellent attorney” and not truer words have been spoken. Andy is amazing, our case took over 2 years to resolve and never once di we ever feel that Andy and his team were not the best. I believe that Andy and all the attorney’s at AttorneysFor Freedom are the best in the state of AZ and HI. I do have to give a shout out to Hailey and Braeden, they were always available, or returned a call asap. Everyone was like family and we will always use AttorneysForFreedom if we ever need any thing legal. Please trust every word I have written, they are all true. Thank you doesn’t seen like enough, they are the only words I have.

Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm is staffed with highly experienced and competent attorneys who took my individual situation seriously. The attorney assigned to shepherd my case through the legal system was Emma Whincup, Esq.. Her knowledge, skills, and expertise, were fundamental in representing my case which concluded with a positive outcome. I highly recommend Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm and Emma Whincup.

Excellent Firm
I am a client of the Attorney's For Freedom Law Firm's "Attorney On Retainer" program (as well as their "Self-Protection plan"). I had an unfortunate explosion involving a firearm ("accidental discharge") that was a possible felony charge in Arizona. One call to Jonathan and it was all taken care of with no further action required on my part. They truly "just a phone call away"...

Highly Recommended
I retained Attorneys for Freedom for my defense on three trespassing charges. The 1-hour consultation was very affordable and informative. They worked with me to keep my costs low, let me do most of the research myself, and were able to reach a plea bargain that was acceptable to me. I was very impressed with their work, and I would highly recommend the firm.

From prison to probation. Attorneys for Freedom saved my life.
I really don't know where to start here. This was my first time dealing with the criminal justice system. I came to Attorneys for Freedom is the most difficult time in my life where an accident became a life changing criminal matter. Before I came to Marc Victor, I was looking at a potential of 7-21 years in prison if convicted of the formal charges aggravated assault charges. After speaking with Marc, I instantly knew he could change my case around for the better. Not only did he receive my case at the end, he had to fully re work this case with the help of his wonderful team. Both him and Andy made me feel like I had hope from the beginning. This was a long battle for both the firm and I. I however am here with the gratitude and happiness to give to this team for all the hard work they put in my case. They saved my life, my future and my sanity. Ultimately, I went from having to serve years in prison to no prison time. I am humbled, thankful, blessed and gracious for their expertise. Attorneys for Freedom is worth every penny and you will be in the best handles possible. Look no further for help you need. I am overruling Avvo rating and giving them 10 star review. I will never forget the help they've given me and based upon his reputation, he will help everyone the way he would want to be helped and that's what makes this firm who they are. Attorneys for Freedom. Thank you once again Marc, Andy, Hailey and whoever helped me in this matter. I will also look up to you in this desperate time in my life. God Bless

Great law firm
The best decision I made was hiring this law firm to represent me specifically, Kate Pierce & Braeden Victor. I had a complicated case were I faced huge restitution claim. After hiring them, they took the matter seriously, they filed motions and objections quickly. Braeden kept me informed all the time and they were always available to answer my calls or questions. I couldn't be any more happier during my hearing before the court. Kate was so great in explaining the matter to the court, she was fast in making timely objections to the state's question during trial. Even when the state brought a witness that they never told us about, Kate was able to cross examine her without even preparation. As a result the restitution request was denied and that was a huge relief for me. I highly recommend them.

Great Law Firm- Effective, Hard Working Advocates For You
I really appreciate the Team Culture of this law firm. I worked with Caroline who was very professional and very hard working.

EXCEPTIONAL Law Firm
This firm was exceptional when handling my case, I could not have asked for a better outcome. Andy Marcantel and Braeden Victor were so communicative, efficient, and aggressive when handling my case. Know one wishes to be in the position to need an attorney however, they could not have made the process easier. I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney’s for Freedom to anyone needing services.

Fantastic Law Firm
The entire team at Attorneys For Freedom are amazing! After failing to live up to my responsibilities with the court I contacted Attorneys For Freedom for an initial consultation to see what options they thought I might have; I had several other consults lined up with other firms prior to and after meeting with Andy at Attorneys For Freedom. I did not take any consults after our conversation. Andy took the time during my consultation to explain several different avenues that were open to me. He broke down the benefits and potential downsides of each option and then helped me create a detailed path to resolve all my legal troubles. Based on Andy's expert opinion I followed his suggestions and prepared for my court date. When the day came for court I was nervous that the worse case scenario might come to fruition; Andy was not worried. When the judge entered the court I got the feeling that just having Andy and his team by my side made all the difference. Andy present my unique case and filed the paperwork with the court to get the result he thought would happen. I walked out of court with no fear, my case had been resolved completely and instead of being taken into custody I was at home with my family less than an hour later. The best part about this Firm is not only their knowledge of the law, which is superb, but their compassion and understanding that not all people in criminal court are "criminals". I made a mistake, I owned it at the time and I still do today, but at no point was I made to feel "less than" because of what I had done. Instead, I was made to feel validated and supported by team of hard working professionals who wanted the best for me. If you find yourself in a situation where legal help is needed, first, hire a lawyer! Even if you take responsibility for your actions having an attorney with you will make the process much easier and possibly reduce the punishment. Second, hire Attorneys For Freedom! This organization will make sure your best interests are the focus and will work diligently to achieve those interests.

AMAZING
I wasn’t facing any criminal charges or a car wreck. This was by far the hardest battle of my life and knew I needed help. I met with Jody and she was kind and calm and reassuring. She immediately saw the injustice that had happened,and I could sense that she was sincere in wanting to help me seek justice. I left that office after the appt. and truly felt like I wasn’t having to fight this battle alone and it brought me to tears knowing that I had an amazing strong army with me. This was a very long battle but I was never forgotten Jody and Alex made sure I understood everything and Alex is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and so kind...... this is there career but they spoke to me with not just caring about the case they cared that I was emotionally okay with everything that was happening. This is not anything they had to do but they did and for that I cannot say enough Thank Yous.... I strongly suggest to anyone that is battling something legally to hire this firm!!!!!!!! You will have the BEST team!!!!! They return calls and emails promptly even thou they are extremely busy you will always be there priority... Jody and Alex I will FOREVER be grateful for EVERYTHING.... My healing has started thanks to the hard work of this firm. I will FOREVER be grateful for this firm and for Jody and Alex.!!!!!

Marc Victor and his team are excellent attorneys
I retained Marc's services for criminal defense. He and his partners were very professional, and always quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns. They could be counted on to keep me apprised of any news or updates in the course of the case. Ultimately, with some very creative "out of the box" tactics Marc's team were able to negotiate an excellent resolution to my situation. It's clear that they always have their clients' best interests in mind, and they are using their many years' experience to ensure your rights are respected and you get the most favorable outcome possible. I never felt judged or looked down upon, either, which was a welcome bonus. I would say that whenever you're being accused of a crime you want a team of attorneys who 1) know the law really well, 2) have extensive experience working in the system, and 3) see the state as the defendant's enemy, and not actually interested in "justice". Marc and his team clearly meet all these criteria, and see it as their duty to ensure you can have as fair a fight against that enemy as possible.
