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.

Excellent Attorney!

I hired Chris to help me fight a speeding infraction. The outcome was more then I could have hoped for and I sincerely feel like he and his team hit the ball out the park! Professional, courteous and determined. If your looking for an awesome attorney you've found one in Chris Corso!

Excellent Work

Chris successfully represented me with respect to a traffic offense and obtained the best possible outcome for me. I am delighted with the result and extremely grateful to Chris and his team. His many years of experience and hard work proved invaluable and his bed-side manner was superb. Balancing th...e two cannot be easy and he did a wonderful job. Thank you sincerely.

Might be ok for traffic tickets

They may be able to get traffic tickets cleared up but do not hire for anything major. We were in need of an attorney for a vehicular manslaughter charge. They took they case and assured us they could help. The case was turned over to an attorney who had only been licensed for a few months. We re...quested several times to speak to Mr Corso and Mr Rhude only to be told it wasn't necessary. After 16 months of nothing but delivering offers for a plea agreement from the prosecutor, we fired the firm and hired an attorney who actually knew what he was doing. They ended up costing us $25,000 for nothing.
