Criminal Defense Attorney way above the rest
Let me start by saying Vicki Lopez cleaned up the mess of other lawyers i retained, at the same time putting in double the work and guiding me step by step the whole way. She went above and beyond and held a standard of respect for me I had never seen from any other lawyer. I can not say enough good things about Vicki Lopez and the Rosenstein Law Group. I unfortunately gathered a number of DUI’s in short amount of time in the state of Arizona. If you know anything about DUI’s and Arizona you can imagine the legal troubles I had to deal with. I initially hired some well dressed fast talking greasy lawyer that was never available and cost a fortune…… After the mess I had been left with from this other attorney I turned to Vicki Lopez. Through my legal issues i must have dealt/chatted with 8 different attorneys and not a single one is anywhere near what Vicki brings to the table. Her knowledge on DUI law in Arizona was substantially more then any other. Vicki was always available to answer my questions and never pushed me off to her paralegal or her assistant like other attorneys in this state. Vicki continually fought for me never accepting the uneducated answers I received from the MVD. If you find yourself in any type of criminal justice situation especially a DUI I can not express enough how much I recommend Vicki Lopez. Trust me when I say over the past 5 years I have become familiar with Arizona Justice system and many criminal defense attorneys Vicki Lopez and the whole Rosenstein Law Group is on a different level. If you want a lawyer who is honest, extremely knowledgeable, always there for you, and willing to fight for you even if it keeps her in the office to late hours Vicki Lopez is your best option. I truly believe my situation would have been much easier on me if i found Vicki earlier, dont waste time anywhere else, call the Rosenstein Law Group and let Vicki Lopez help you move on with your life.

Endorse Vicki
Criminal defense Attorney | Nov 28
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Vicki is one of the best in the business. I would recommend her for anyone who needs criminal defense."
Criminal defense Attorney | Nov 23
Relationship: Co-worker
"Vicki's knowledge of the law is next to none. She has practiced at the highest level of her field with great success for her clients. Above that, she mentors other attorneys and shares her vast knowledge with them. She has taught me a great deal and is the lawyer I go to with questions. I know I can depend on her answers and feedback because not only is Vicki a brilliant attorney but her passion for her clients, paired with the amount of experience she has, puts her on a level that very few other attorneys are on. It is my pleasure to endorse Vicki Lopez."
Criminal defense Attorney | Nov 23
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Vicki and I were both associate attorneys working together at the same firm over 10 years ago. Since then, I have remained in touch with her and still reach out to her to discuss legal issues and strategy. She is a phenomenal attorney and I truly admire her work ethic, her dedication to her clients, her devotion to bettering the system and her creativity when it comes to thinking "outside the box." I can easily say that she is one of the best attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and I feel privileged to have her as a resource."
Criminal defense Attorney | Nov 23
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I've been a prosecutor fighting with Vicki and a defense attorney working with Vicki. In both instances, Vicki has left me amazed at her legal knowledge, ethics, and ferocity with which she defends her clients. Vicki's encyclopedic knowledge of the law is eclipsed only by her innate trial ability and the tenacity she has for defending her clients. I'd say Vicki has forgotten more about criminal law than I could ever hope to know but I don't actually believe Vicki has forgotten a single thing in her entire life. If I ever needed a criminal defense attorney, I would move heaven and earth to retain Vicki Lopez. I cannot endorse this exceptional attorney in any stronger terms. If Vicki cannot win your case, then it's unwinnable."
