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.

Amazing Services

We hired Corso Law Group for my spouse and are beyond happy with their services. I gave them a call with a time sensitive matter and Megan was very diligent in answering to everything in a timely manner. They are extremely professional, courteous, and very responsive. Thank you Megan and Christopher ...for all your hard work!!!

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.

I Highly Recommend Christopher P Corso

I received a ticket via photo radar for doing 41mph in a 40mph zone based on posted signage. There was conflicting signage posted for a 30mph zone but the conditions for this speed were not in effect so the ticket should not have been issued. I believed that if I went to court to fight this I wou...ld have won but considering my personal situation and schedule, the time it would take to go to court, the morning traffic which would require that I left my home at 6am to make sure I arrived before my 8am hearing time, the aggravation and not being comfortable representing myself in a hearing with a judge I decided to call an expert. The reasonable fee was well worth it to avoid the time and stress involved had I represented myself. Initially, I spoke with Megan Hawkins and she was highly informative and very professional. After Megan collected my information I received a call from Chris Corso. We discussed the details of my case over the phone and Chris described his strategy for representing me. Chris checked in with me a week prior to my court date to follow up and make sure all details were in order. I knew Chris was highly prepared and I felt very well taken care of and, best of all, we accomplished everything over the phone. I had a concern the day before my court date and I called Chris for clarification. He returned my call promptly, he is a great listener and was always patient with my questions. Chris made sure I was comfortable. My case was not a big money maker for Chris but he made me feel like I was his top priority. Within 30 minutes after the court hearing I received a call from Megan with the good news that my case was dismissed. Absolutely everything about my experience with Corso Law Group exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Corso Law Group and Chris Corso.

Traffic Tickets

The case I had involved 3 citations (moving violations) all relating to a single event. Lots of fines and lots of points were at stake. The process Mr. Christopher Corso follows was very effective in my case. The judge dismissed all 3 charges! Ms. Joanna Novarese was the main contact on my case a...nd kept me apprised every step of the way and followed up with all of my questions and concerns. Everything was accomplished with a high degree of professionalism.
