Since admission to practice law, I have always been committed to defending the rights of the accused. This commitment began while I was serving as deputy defender in Mohave County. I then relocated to Flagstaff to focus on cases throughout the northern Arizona counties. Several years and snowstorms later I decided to give it a go in the warmer climate of southern Arizona. I am proud to call Tucson my home and I enjoy working with the people of southern Arizona.
I have extensive jury trial experience and have acquittals both felony, and misdemeanor courts throughout Arizona. I have specialized training in field sobriety test and the horizontal gaze nystagmus. I believe one of the most important rights the accused has is the right to trial. It is at trial that the state is held to the highest standard guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Before anyone decides to give up this precious right, they need to be fully advised. In many cases, proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is difficult for the prosecution.

Then almost a year went by and he did absolutely nothing for my case and in the end had to plead me guilty which gave me m...

"I endorse this lawyer as one of the top DUI trial lawyers in the state of Arizona. Mr. Illes has obtained acquittals from juries in multiple cases that many people would think impossible."
