Just pick John

I will 100% use John Rhude again for any future traffic violations (which hopefully won't happen again anytime soon). John was able to get my ticket significant reduced. Could not be happier with the outcome.

Criminal Speeding

I was cited / charged with criminal speeding driving through Arizona. I admit, I was clocked at 104. I think what sort of saved me was I was in a rural area off the 10. And of course Mr. John Rhude saved me. Again, 104 in a 75 and Mr. Rhude got my criminal speeding charge reduced to a civil speeding ...ticket and less than 250 dollar fine. What you read about Mr. Rhude is true he has a vast knowledge of the laws in AZ and is well known and respected in many court houses throughout Arizona. Don’t look no further.

John Rhude

I contacted Pinnacle Law for assistance on a traffic violation. The firm referred me to one of their attorneys, John Rhude. John contacted me immediately. He explained to me in very precise terms the steps that we should take and the expected outcome. Within 24 hours my violation was dismissed wi...th no points on my license and no impact on my auto insurance. I would highly recommend John - 5 stars.

I hired john to take care of 2 cases one in glendale and one in gila bend. Both cases were similar charges and both resulted in the same result being dissmissed. I highly recommend john rhudes law firm. They are like family! They treat you with respect and fight for your rights!

The Corso & Rhude law firm is best law firm in Arizona for criminal matters. I had several tickets which the law firmed handled. They were all pled to civil offenses, so no points. The firm kept me well informed about the status of my case. I would recommend the firm to anyone with a criminal matte...r.
