Michael was a wonderful attorney from the start. I had the book thrown at me, every conceivable charge that I could have garnered.. I did. He talked me through the whole way, I live out of state and he made it possible for me to go to court over the phone. My charges were insane, the police department LOST all footage and audio of my arrest, as the state broke a few laws themselves when they pulled me over. He comforted myself and my family through out the ordeal. I did not get off scot free, but I was faced with 6 years in prison and a laundry list of charges on my record, I didn’t serve a day after the arrest. And one year later I’m off probation and so happy to have had his help. I hope to use him again to try and remove the only charge I received, and would gladly recommend his law firm for anyone who faces severe criminal charges. In a state that has such a corrupt legal system, I saw people being abused by their court appointed attorneys. People who didn’t stand a chance, who had more minor charges than mine, go straight to prison. It was a comfort knowing that he and his team were behind me. I have no regrets hiring him.

First, I want to say Michael Ziton is always there for you. From the moment he took my frantic initial call Michael Ziton showed compassion and understanding. He helped us through all our questions and concerns about the court process. After retaining Michael Ziton I knew I could call him anytime to answer our questions. He is very good about returning calls. Michael Ziton also kept us informed about the case throughout the entire process. He is amazing in the courtroom and is very well respected. We are grateful and appreciate all the effort Michael Ziton provided us. Michael Ziton is a great choice for a lawyer in Arizona.

I was cited for speeding, and read online it was advisable to hire a criminal attorney, because the excessive speed I was driving made it a criminal offense. To make matters worse, I had an unrestrained 7-year old in the back of my car, and I was also cited for that. So I had two citations to deal with: The criminal one (excessive speeding), and the civil one (unrestrained child). I found Mr. Ziton online, and based on Mr. Ziton's credentials on his website, I decided to hire him. What a fortunate decision! Mr. Ziton, was very courteous, and kept me updated on the status of my case. Mr. Ziton got my case changed from criminal to civil, and got the judge to agree to let me take a defensive driving course online; and once the course was completed, Mr. Ziton got my criminal case is dismissed. And once he presented proof I had a booster seat for my child, he also had that citation dismissed. Thank you, Mr. Ziton! You're the best!

I hired Michael Ziton to represent me on criminal charges in Arizona. Michael and his firm did a great job. I was looking for a lawyer online and Michael Ziton stuck out as the most experienced. I chose right. Mr. Ziton quickly responded to me and was very diligent at returning all of my phone calls. The firm was very pleasant to deal with and did what they said they would do.

I certainly would recommend Michael Ziton and his firm if you are looking for an experienced criminal lawyer in Arizona. He did an excellent job for me!

Mr. Ziton represented me, when being charged with aggressive driving and excessive speeding. I didn't feel I committed aggressive driving so I hired Mr. Ziton and he was able to work a favorable deal on both charges. Mr. Ziton answered all my questions, responded relatively quickly to my phone calls. His fees I felt were a little on the high side at $2950. However he did deliver in the end for me, so it was worth it. Mr. Ziton uses an "answering" service, which can be a little annoying to deal with, but it didn't seem to affect response times or create any other issues. I would recommend him for criminal traffic as in my case.

Michael Ziton was retained to represent my nephew on multiple felony criminal charges. I looked for an attorney online and I am very thankful I found Michael Ziton. He personally called me back very quickly and helped me understand the scary criminal process. In fact, Mr. Ziton felt the concern I had for my nephew and actually went to visit him in jail that same day. We are eternally grateful to Michael Ziton throughout this entire process. Mr. Ziton always kept us informed and returned every phone call we made. Mr. Ziton always made us feel comfortable and guided us in the right direction. Michael Ziton did an amazing job in court and we were impressed with his experienced professional attention. Most importantly, Mr. Ziton saved my nephew from many years away from the family. Mr. Ziton achieved what we were hoping for - the chance to see our nephew free again. I can certainly tell you that if you are in need of a criminal attorney in Arizona, you can trust Michael Ziton. He really has the experience and dedication you are looking for in an attorney. We truly recommend Michael Ziton.

Michael Ziton represented me in a serious DUI case. I was always kept informed about my case. Mr. Ziton returned each of my phone calls and met with me on a number of occasions to prepare my case. Michael Ziton had an amazing grasp of the law and helped me build a strong defense for court. In court, Michael Ziton was respectful, but strong. Each time the prosecutor attempted to ask an improper question, Mr. Ziton objected and successfully persuaded the judge in our favor almost every time. As I look back on this experience, I am eternally grateful that I hired an experienced and knowledge attorney to fight for me to win. Most important, when the trial proceeding was over, Michael Ziton was always there after the representation to guide me and answer my questions. Thank you Michael for a job well done!

I hired Michael Ziton to represent me on Federal DUI charges. I am happy to report that Mr. Ziton got all of my charges dismissed. I know he had a firm understanding of the law and the facts. I was impressed with his prompt attention and dedication to my case. There is no doubt in my mind, Michael Ziton is the Top Criminal Attorney in Arizona.

I can't even begin to tell you how worthless this guy was as my misdemeanor DUI defense lawyer. He refused to listen to my concerns about the officer who arrested me. As it turns out, the officer who arrested me WAS investigated for "profiling" tactics regardling his "stops" and later removed from the police force for felony DUI himself!...The officer's name (Mike Rogers) and story was on the local TV news and papers in Phoenix for the course of several weeks. If you are not already familiar with the circumstances regarding City of Phoenix motorcycle DUI cop Mike Rogers then you will probably not believe the rest of my story. This lawyer allowed me to be convicted to the fullest extent allowed despite having BAC readings of only .079 and .083 and absolutely no other aggrivating circumstances (there was no accident, no "priors" and no good reason for the judge to "throw the book" at me.) After the trial, one of the jurors approached my lawyer (Michael Ziton) and actually told him that it was a hard job for the jury to vote guilty beacuse she said they "HAD A LOT OF DOUBTS" Yes, she actually used the word "doubts" after she voted to convict me as guilty. I'm not kidding. Michael was extremely unprepared to represent me in a trial because he would never listen to me to discuss the facts of the case. All he cared about was his understanding of the arrest as it was recorded in the police report. He was not interested in my version of the events. I was extrememly cooperative during the whole arrest because I knew I did nothing wrong, but the police report and officers testimony at trial would have you believe that I was some sort of drunk, uncontrollable monster! THE OFFICER WAS DRUNK HIMSLEF! Officer Mike Rogers was later determined to be an extreme alcoholic. He used and abused alcohol at a chronic level. Most normal people would die or pass-out if their BAC reached 0.30% (3 or 4 times the legal limit for driving) but that it what the cop's BAC was when he wrecked his motorcycle. THE OFFICER WAS ALSO DRUNK IN COURT WHEN HE TESTIFIED! I know you must think I am crazy for saying that but it really is true. It's funny, but I never knew any of this could be true myself until I has ordered by the court to attend Alcohol Awareness classes after I was convicted. I learned about the daily lifestyles of chronic alcoholics who drink 24/7 to maintan a drunken state; HOWEVER, they appear to perfectly normal because that's how they always are. They appear normal beacuse you have never seen them sober. Their bodies would go into a state of shock if you stopped them from drinking. If you don't believe me ask any doctor or expert who treats hardcore alcoholics. Their bodies will shut down if they do not maintain a constant drunken state but they appear to be normal to the average person. So, I'm here to tell you that MZ is a worthless attorney becuase he allowed me to be convicted by a cop who was drunk himself and a jury who admitted they had "DOUBTS"!!! THEN......Mike Z. left the court house immediatley after sentencing but the judges bailiff thretened to have me re-sentenced after the trial. Apparently, everyone expected me to have over $1000 in cash in my pocket to "settle" immediately after the trail. The court made a proverbial federal case out of the fact that I paid my fines on the following Monday rather than immediately after my conviction on Friday. Mike charged my credit card an extra $900 on top of the $4000 I already paid to guarantee that I would not be "re-arrested" when I went back to the courthouse to pay. This laywer did not listen to me. Over and over, Mike refused to listen to me and would only focus on approaching the case based on the information that was presented in the police report. I kept telling him over and over that none of that information was true because it never happened. I kept telling him this over and over and over again.!!! What a nightmare.

Worthless. Didnt even read the police report until the day of my hearing. Was late to the court house by over an hour. Used his phone to deal with other business while supposed to be working on my case at the court house. Used his cellphone in the courtroom itself. I was innocent but ended up taking a plea bargain because this bozo didnt have his act together. Fortunately for me I was able to write the courts later on and have my conviction amended to something more favorable. Stay away from this guy.

We retained Michael Ziton over the telephone after speaking with a number of attorneys from our internet search. We were impressed with the prompt call back on the weekend. Mr. Ziton quickly helped us understand the criminal process. Our family member was seriously charged. Michael Ziton worked out jail release and did a great job on the rest of the case. Michael Ziton had a firm understanding of the issues at hand, did an outstanding job in the courtroom, and settled our matter with the prosecutor beyond our expectations. We certainly selected the right lawyer. Thank you Michael Ziton.
