James A Charnesky

Words can't even describe how grateful I am to James and Dina. I was arrested for DUI in March 2015 and after almost 2 years, a few continuances, and one dismissed jury I was found not guilty on all charges. They are not magicians but true fighters when it comes to justice. They were honest, detaile...d and always responded to any questions or concerns in a timely manner. They don't make promises or pretend what the outcome will be, but they give all they got to their clients. They were my strength when I wanted to give up and throw in the towel and thank goodness I didn't. On March 26, 2017 I was finally released of this burden. I would not recommend any other attorney when it comes to DUIs, they are truly the best. Thank you James, Dina, and Teresa for all the hard work, dedication, and time that you put into my case. I can now move forward!

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND James Charnesky! When I was arrested and charged with my 0.10 DUI, I was seriously afraid. I had never been arrested before and this offense could have had a serious impact on my career. James gave me my options straight and to the point which was what I was looking for. He d...efended me with passion, non-judgment, and thorough knowledge and experience of the law that I would have been utterly lost without. James did not simply get my charge reduced, but instead got the charge completely dismissed! My record will be clean, life a little more stress free, and I couldn't be any happier. THANK YOU JAMES!

I received a DUI in 2014 and hired James Charnesky and Dina Dieglio to help me. His team was very qualified, timely, and effective. Not only did I win at the ADOT hearing, but they also got the prosecution to dismiss my DUI! I couldn't be happier with this firm. After meeting with four different atto...rneys, I'm so glad that I went with Charnesky & Dieglio. Thank you!

After I was charged with DUI, I investigated and interviewed a number of different Tucson attorneys who specialize in DUI defense. As a retired attorney myself, I was especially interested in the different approaches advocated by the attorneys, and their willingness to go to trial if necessary to de...fend my rights. This was especially the case inasmuch as I deemed my arrest to be improper and principally motivated by my request to speak with an attorney at the scene, and my refusal to participate in field sobriety tests. After due consideration, I retained James Charnesky and his firm, and was extremely happy with the representation and handling of my case. James made intense studies of the arrest report and the police videotapes, and as a result generated several fruitful arguments which formed the bases for dismissal motions. At no time did he advocate the simple and lazy approach of pleading guilty and negotiating a sentence. In the end, and as the direct result of James’ efforts including police interviews and an extended evidentiary hearing, the Court dismissed all charges against me. Needless to say, I would recommend James and his firm to anyone unfortunate enough to be charged with DUI.
