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.

Speeding Ticket - Recommended

I hired Attorney Corso for a speeding ticket that was a trap were speed limit was quickly reduced from 65pm to 45mph. I had a very clean record but the officer wasn't willing to reduce it and I now faced a criminal speeding ticket. I called and spoke with Megan who was the firm manager and she was ...able to walk me through the process, possible outcomes, severity and what potentially their firm could do to challenge the ticket with sought after goal of getting it reduced and/or dismisses. Once hired, peace and mind was found quickly as Mr. Corso & Megan handled everything around court dates, etc. while providing updates along the way. Eventually the D.A. wasn't willing to budge much at all which Mr. Corso didn't settle and appealed. The ticket was reduced to which I was then able to take traffic school and the ticket is no longer on my record! This was my first speeding ticket in 10 years and I wasn't remotely aware of how severe Arizona pursues speeding ticket much less a speeding ticket over 20 mph, which is considered criminal. I will honestly say, I was very tempted to save the cost of hiring an attorney and take my chance of appealing it in court myself with hopes of it getting reduced. In hindsight, I've very glad I spoke with Megan and chose Mr. Corso because if I had not, I would of likely had an minimally reduced fine amount but criminal speeding ticket and points on my record for a very long time. Thanks Mr. Corso and Megan! You both were fantastic and I highly recommend. I hopefully won't need their help anytime soon but if so I without a doubt will be contacting them immediately.

Awesome Attorney!!

If you need an attorney for speeding in Arizona do not look any farther. Christopher Corso and Megan Hawkins exceeded my expectations. They go above and beyond with timely communication, counsel and most importantly end results. I was always kept updated by Megan and Chris with the status of my cas...e and the advice I received was to the point and accurate. Chris defintely fights for your rights and he represented me accurately and with excellent results. I was not expecting to be completely absolved of a radar instrument speeding citation but receiving and pleading to a civil instead of a criminal speeding citation was the very best case scenerio. I would highly recommend Christopher Corso and Megan. They are for you when it seems no one else is in your corner.
