Brad won a case after we transferred the case from another attorney

I was prosecuted for money laundering. About $60,000 was found in my car. I paid $10,000 to Paul Ramos. That attorney kept asking me to sign a stipulated agreement but failed to explain why I had to plead guilty. After my friend talked to him over the phone, my friend found out that he did not even k...now about the evidence. I decided to fire him and transfer the case to Brad Rideout. He applied to the court to suppress the evidence. The court therefore dismissed the case without the necessity of a trial. Brad wrote an application to dismiss the case by writing over 40 pages of submissions. I am extremely grateful for his help. I highly recommend anyone to go to him for help.

Straightforward and Easy Dismissal Plea

I got unexpectedly arrested and charged with two misdemeanors out of the blue with a very weak case that I was the culprit. Still, I hired a representative of Rideout Law to represent me for the best possible outcome. At the pre-trial, I was allowed a "Dismissed without Prejudice" verdict as long as ...I am not to commit any crimes within 90 days after the Pre-trial. My representative was very knowledgeable and effective at everything he's done. I would definitely recommend.

Bad

Never followed on anything, didn’t even talk to prosecutors before the court date. Great if you want to take the deal originally offered

The Best Lawyer in Arizona!

Ridedout Law went over and above to help me with my case. Even stepped in and helped when nobody else would. It was extremely easy to work with them going through the arduous legal process, to which the burdens could of been made especially strenuous for me and my family to bear, had they not stepped... in and saved me from it all when they did. Brad and his team made things very simple for me to understand, and their communication through it all was second to none, never a question or a worry unanswered. Their dedication and knowledge ultimately saved me a lot of time and money in the end. Truly thankful they came to my rescue when I needed it most, and could never thank them enough! Would highly recommend contacting Rideout Law first for any legal matters or services one may find themselves in need of, as they are genuinely there to help. Thanks again for all your help!

Solid Lawyer

If you are in trouble with the law in Mohave County, buckle up and get a good…. No great attorney. Local one. Let me be specific. Brad Rideout at Rideout Law. Several reasons. You have landed in a snake pit. Law enforcement who has no regard for the constitution and for you as a human being. T...hey don’t care about you, your rights or your life. You need help. There are some things that I look for when I am working with someone. 1. Communication. Brad answers his phone unless he simply cannot because of court. Weekends, evenings regardless. He is there. You need that. He cares about his clients and about their families. He understands that when a crooked law enforcement institution has destroyed your constitutional rights it is the entire family who suffers. Brad gets that and is on the clock for you and your family. 2. Value. Just because he isn’t billing you $450 per hour doesn’t mean he isn’t good. I have paid that much to attorneys and I cannot get them to answer their phone or even call me back in a reasonable time. Simple, pay the money and trust that a fair attorney fee does not mean you are not in the best of hands. With Brad you are in the best of hands. 3. Know the lay of the land. The reason I made a point to express that law enforcement in Mohave County are so evil Satan would not claim them as his children is if you have the wrong counsel you are going down, hard. I have complete confidence in Brad and his team to do everything he can to get you out or trouble. You are walking through a land mine after you have been bitten by a cobra. Brad knows the system and can help you and he will be faithful to your cause, to your case and to you and your family. 4. A fighter. Don’t let that handsome babyfaced picture of him on his website fool you. He is a fighter and he lives to punch back. And in that county, you need that. A good fighter knows when to dodge, dip, rope-a-dope and when to hit. What he does isn’t easy but effective. If you are in trouble there, you need someone you can trust. Someone who will fight for you and someone who will be honest with you about your situation. Someone who will tell you the good, the bad and the ugly. There is no way around it. If you are in trouble in that county you have a long painful road and you will have the scars to prove it. But the best chance of you walking away is with Brad Rideout and Rideout law. There is no way to sugar coat the situation you are facing. As I said in the beginning, get in the car with Brad and BUCKLE UP! He will help you.
