Criminal Case

Mr. Corso was an amazing lawyer. I was charged with misdemeanor of solicitation of a prostitute. The charge was embarrassing, unjust and it screams first amendment violation. However after going to court and going thru the judicial system, Mr Corsco got my case dismissed. He was reasonable on the cos...t and he did an amazing job. He listened to my concerns and he was always prompt on answering questions. I am not sure some people here have had a problem with him, but you cannot make everyone happy. I will highly recommend him to represent you.

Very professional and effective

I had an excellent experience with Corso Law Group. Both Megan and Chris were very knowledgeable and responsive in terms of answering any questions I had. My particular situation was one that I had expected to have to face more serious penalties than I wanted to, however Chris was able to convince th...e judge to allow me to enroll in a diversion program, which simply means having to take a driving class. As long as that’s completed the charge will be dropped and my driving record will remain clean. I 100% percent recommend Corso Law Group.

Got a Red Light Camera Ticket in Scottsdale - Corso Law Group got it dismissed

Got a red light camera ticket while visiting Scottsdale. After some research online I reached out to Corso Law Group. Megan Hawkins was very helpful. She described what the laws surrounding red light camera tickets were, what their approach would look like, what the timeline would be, and then kept m...e informed all throughout the process. Finally, about eight months after I originally received the ticket, Corso Law Group got it dismissed. All I had to pay was the well earned attorney fee. Highly recommend.

I am satisfied

The Corso law group was one of the only lawyers that would take on my case. While I understand traffic violations aren't significant to most I'm a professional driver and I can not afford to have points on my license. I called them and they handled my case. It was an easy process and no points were a...dded to my record. I also did not have to take time off to go to court. Thank you!

The best firm for photo radar tickets

If you happen to be unlucky enough to get a photo radar ticket in Scottsdale you should engage this firm. They are absolute experts on the system and you can trust them to get you through it. These tickets, contrary to popular belief, cannot be ignored and can cost you big time if you do ignore. Mega...n especially is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. She was super easy to deal with and I would not hesitate to hire them in the future should I ever have this happen again (I sure hope not).
