Criminal Defense 100%

My career in criminal defense has given me the opportunity to learn about the law and about life. From homicide to misdemeanors, from federal to local courts, my experience and interest in criminal and constitutional law, as well as in human behavior, has put me in the position to defend the accused, to advocate for victims, and to help the people concerned about the defendant to understand what is occurring and how they might assist. I want our justice system to shine for others.

"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Lutgring provides great answers to people who are requesting information. She not only gives her opinion but resources to help people get more information. She is a great asset to the criminal defense legal community. If I had someone in Tucson who needed an attorney I would send them to Ms. Lutging."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Ms. Lutgring for 25 years. Throughout that time she has been a zealous advocate for her clients. With the exception of a brief time working on civil cases in private practice she has devoted herself and her practice to criminal defense work. She has practiced in federal, state and tribal court at all levels. She has worked on all aspects of the case from arraignment through appeal. At all stages in the process she has pushed the envelope in trying to insure the civil rights and civil liberties of her clients. She has great research and writing skills. I have found her to be thoroughly prepared at all times. She is completely immersed in the case prior to negotiating with prosecutors on her client's behalf and she informs her clients of all of their options and her legal analysis so that they can make informed decisions regarding the directions of the case. She has excellent trial skills which are recognized by prosecutors and colleagues."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
