There is no question - Michael Ziton is the Right Choice. We retained Mr. Ziton to represent us on some very serious charges. We were scared. The police intimidated us and we did not know where to turn. We found Michael Ziton's law firm on the internet. He called us back promptly, was attentive to our concerns, and quickly put us in the right direction. Mr. Ziton knew the law and was able to keep us from going to jail. He ultimately saved us from the serious charges. Michael Ziton did an outstanding job in the courtroom and fought for us at the prosecutor's office. We are very happy with the outcome of the case and with our attorney Michael Ziton.

I hired Michael Ziton to represent me in a criminal matter and he did a fine job. I felt Michael Ziton worked hard for me and was very experienced in the courtroom. I am very happy with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Michael Ziton if you need a criminal lawyer in Arizona.

I hired Michael Ziton to defend me against false money laundering accusations. Instead of defending my innocence, he brokered a deal with the DA even before any charges or discovery took place, a deal that would have resulted in years of prison time and forfeiture of millions of dollars that I did not have. He told me the deal was a “gift”, and that I should “think of my wife and family”. He demanded tens of thousands in additional fees during the course of his efforts, and deceived me into paying them – outside of our existing written contract. Mr. Ziton accused me of “turning my head away” from criminal activity – my own attorney falsely accused me of criminal activity – holy cow! He appeared to believe all of the DA’s accusations regardless of what I had to say, based on extremely weak evidence. Fortunately, I eventually fired him after paying well over 100k in legal expenses to him and his partner, and found another attorney to undo the damage already caused by Michael Ziton. My new attorney was anxious to actively defend me against the false accusations and his efforts resulted in no charges ever being filed. My new attorney also informed me that many of the things I was told by Michael Ziton previously were simply not true; “should have known” is not good enough for a money laundering conviction, “no one wins against the feds” – my new attorney does, etc.. What I learned from this experience is never hire the first attorney you find on the Internet – even if under severe duress. My mistake almost cost me years of prison time and an unbelievable forfeiture, because in my opinion, Mr. Ziton was far more interested in lining his pockets than providing the defense I hired him for.
