My son got into an accident. He was unconsciousness and there were cans of beer all over the car and so he was taken to the hospital. He tested negative for alcohol, but positive for drugs. Charges were filed and several months later we received a notice of hearing. My main concern was to prevent my son from being unduly punished as he has always been the one who gets nailed. In DUI, that can be dangerous. I spent at least a couple days researching attorneys since we did not know any personally and we only knew one person who was charged with DUI well enough to ask advice. In choosing an attorney, it was most important and difficult to obtain enough relevant information to evaluate them. I looked for an attorney for whom DUI was, at least, a major specialization. Then I compared their ratings and experience and attempted to get some idea of what they might charge. On this basis I chose Arja Shah and we are so happy I did. Within about 30 days and after a couple hearings, we were astonished to learn that Ms Shah was able to get the charges dismissed. We were in no way expecting that. I did not choose the cheapest attorney, but neither could I afford a more expensive one either. In hindsight, I could not have gotten a better attorney no matter how much I spent. Arja is very quick and direct in communicating too. We are so very grateful for her expertise and assistance.

Rich handled a quite serious criminal case for my son and the result was even better than expected. I am in the legal field and had a watchful eye on the case but Rich exceeded all expectations. He took the time to really research the details of the case, interviewing witnesses, working with experts, and combing through mounds of evidence. I was blown away by how much work he put into our case. He was able to have my son's bond reduced from $200K to release with an ankle monitor - no small feat! Even when my son was in custody, he had multiple contacts with him and kept us both informed throughout the entire process. He was always available for questions and never made me feel like I was a bother. He fought so hard and negotiated so vigorously I absolutely feel he is the reason my son did not go to prison. I wholeheartedly recommend Rich and would hire him again without hesitation.

Muchisimas gracias hacen excelente trabjo los recomiendo. Gracias por su ayuda en mi caso de accidente.

The Top Criminal Attorney in Arizona hands down. Goes the extra mile and knows the law and cases to bring precedent to put up you best defense. All Five Star Reviews says it all!!! I have been a client for over a decade. Richard Gaxiola is no joke.

Mr. Barber was professional, attentive, and very quick in his responses to my questions. I always felt very respected and had a strong sense that my values, needs, and goals were important to him. He took the time to explain in very clear language my best options to resolving my rather complex legal issue with my professional licensing board and I never got this "I told you so" or "that is a ridiculous" stance with me. I strongly recommend that if you have a legal issue show up, wait no longer: be proactive, and contact Barber Law Group now. It can make such a big difference in the outcome and you can have support and peace of mind sooner than later.

She did an amazing job! I HIGHLY recommend her!!!

I cannot imagine trusting anyone else with my legal needs. Arja is so experienced and knowledgeable of the law and had answers and solutions for all of my questions. Not only that, but because she handles her clients personally, I never felt like I was just handed off to somebody else. Truly a dedicated professional who cares. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Arja!

At an unprecedented and disorientating time, Arja brought clarity and empathy which assisted me in making correct decisions in how to navigate and legally proceed. She initially achieved a reduction and ultimately a dismissal of the charges filed. Her expertise/patience extended over a challenging period which resulted in a win result of her persistence. I would highly recommend her as a qualified Attorney!

The BEST attorney in Phoenix! Arja was on point with everything about my case. I was facing a criminal/felony super extreme DUI and it was lowered to a misdemeanor DUI. Answered every phone call and text going through the process and made me feel at ease that everything was going to be okay. This woman is hands down the best I could have ever found to defend my case. Stop your internet searches and call Arja! She's got you!

I hired Richard and he delivered for me and my family. He was great in everything that he did for me especially the communication. Thank you Richard for all you did and for all uou do!

I just want to say that Gaxiola is the real deal and he does the work! He got my daughter out of a situation where she was facing years behind bars. I would refer him to anyone looking for a real defense lawyer!
