Our Scottsdale criminal defense and personal injury team fights to protect your rights, reputation, and recovery—start to finish.

Criminal Defense in Scottsdale

We defend people across Scottsdale and the broader East Valley—in cases filed in Scottsdale City Court and Maricopa County Superior Court.

Aggravated Assault

A felony aggravated assault charge carries severe penalties. We analyze the evidence, challenge police reports and witness accounts, and build a targeted defense to protect your future.

Aggravated DUI

Aggravated DUI may involve prior offenses, a suspended license, or a minor in the vehicle. We know how to challenge traffic stops, chemical tests, and procedures to seek reductions or dismissal.

Assault (Misdemeanor)

Even a “simple” assault can affect employment, housing, and professional licensing. We scrutinize every detail—intent, self-defense, mutual combat—to fight the allegation.

Criminal Speeding

In Arizona, driving 85+ mph, 20+ mph over the limit, or any speed in a school zone can trigger criminal speeding. We evaluate calibration, signage, and officer observations to reduce or dismiss.

Disorderly Conduct

Often tied to noise, arguments, or “disturbing the peace,” these charges can still leave a lasting record. We work to minimize consequences and pursue diversion where available.

Domestic Violence

DV-designated offenses are treated seriously and can restrict firearm rights and employment. We ensure your side is heard, challenge unreliable statements, and seek outcomes that protect your future.

Drug Crimes

From possession to sales allegations, we examine search/seizure issues, lab results, and quantity thresholds. We pursue dismissals, reductions, diversion, or treatment-based solutions.

DUI

A DUI conviction can mean fines, license suspension, an interlock, and possible jail. We challenge the stop, field tests, breath/blood procedures, and chain of custody.

Extreme DUIs

With a BAC of 0.15% or higher, penalties increase. Our team is experienced in contesting the testing process and negotiating outcomes that limit jail and financial penalties.

Hit and Runs

Leaving the scene can lead to misdemeanor or felony exposure. We engage early, present mitigation, and work toward resolutions that protect your record.

Probation Violation

Alleged violations can send you back to jail. We advocate for reinstatement, modifications, and alternatives that keep you moving forward.

Professional License Defense

Criminal allegations can trigger board investigations. We represent licensed professionals before boards and committees to protect careers and credentials.

Criminal Damage

From vandalism to property destruction, we challenge value assessments and intent, seeking reductions or dismissals whenever possible.

Criminal Trespassing

Trespass charges—residential, commercial, or land—carry real consequences. We pursue defenses based on notice, consent, and property boundaries.

Personal Injury in Scottsdale

Injury cases don’t just involve insurance forms—they’re about your health, time off work, and family. We handle claims throughout the Phoenix Valley and negotiate with insurers so you can focus on healing.

Car Accidents

From rear-ends on Loop 101 to intersection crashes on Scottsdale Road, we investigate liability, preserve evidence, and pursue maximum compensation for medical bills, wage loss, and pain and suffering.

Wrongful Death

We guide families with compassion and precision, seeking accountability and fair damages while handling all legal details during a difficult time.

Motorcycle Accidents

Riders are vulnerable to visibility errors and roadway hazards. We address bias against motorcyclists and work to recover full compensation for serious injuries.

Product Liability

Injured by a faulty product? We investigate the manufacturer and pursue compensation for your injuries and losses.

Dog Bites

Arizona law holds owners accountable for injuries caused by their dogs. We document wounds, scarring, and emotional trauma to maximize recovery.

Bicycle Accidents

Dooring, right-hook turns, and failure to yield cause serious cyclist injuries. We pursue claims against negligent drivers and explore roadway liability when appropriate.

Trucking Accidents

Commercial vehicle crashes require fast action. We obtain driver logs, maintenance records, and black-box data to build a strong case.

Slip, Trip & Fall

Unsafe premises—spills, poor lighting, broken handrails—cause preventable injuries. We identify code violations, preserve surveillance, and hold property owners responsible.

Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)

Multiple insurers may be involved, depending on the trip phase. We sort coverage layers and pursue the benefits you’re owed.

Pedestrian Accidents

Intersection and parking-lot impacts often cause life-altering harm. We move quickly to secure evidence and seek full damages.

Litigation Services

If a settlement won’t deliver a fair result, we’re prepared to litigate. When mediation can resolve matters faster and with less stress, we guide you through a strategic negotiation.

Product Liability

When defective products cause harm, we pursue manufacturers and distributors for dangerous design, manufacturing, or warnings.
