Being charged with 3 felonies and having 5 prior felonies I was looking at possibly serving the rest of my life in prison. My wife hired Mr. Cates to handle my bond hearing and right from the start Mr. Cates got my bond reduced so I could bond out. After meeting with Mr. Cates and him telling me he was a No bull crap kind of lawyer he would tell me like it is and this is the exactly (the kind of guy I am) then I knew he was the attorney for this case. His retainer and fee was vey reasonable, actually I think he did us a favor on what he charged us. Well first I instructed Mr. Cates I needed as much time as possible out on bond to be able to get my house in order and this he has done to perfection. We started off with a very long sentenced offered as a plea bargain to which Mr. Cates advised me to turn down which we did. Mr. Cates and his team kept battling. His team and investigator is the best that money can buy and are very passionate about the work they do. Long story short we are at the end of this case to where I will get a very short prison term to serve and this is a victory but Mr. Cates and his team are upset that I didn’t get a better outcome. From where we started in this to where we are today I have informed Mr. Cates and his team that they won this case and are winners in my book. I would highly recommend Dwane Cates Law Group to anyone that needs a lawyer no matter how small or bad your Charges are. You case will be handled with professionalism and most important part is you will be treated as a human being and a person not just a case number from everyone on his team. Thank You Dwane Cates Law Group.

My husband was stopped in Apache county with 2 other guys, they were charged with 9 counts of fraud. I live in Florida, and found Dwane through google, and till this day this has been the best search of my life. Being far from my husband was hard enough, not to mention the stress of the case; but Dwane made it easy and understandable, he was always reachable at all times which gave me a peace of mind, all my questions were answered and i couldn't have asked for a better outcome. My husband was only charged with one count of Fraud, and received 4 years probation, he was also able to come back down to Florida. The other 2 guys weren't so lucky, they didn't have the best representation like i Did!! Trust me when i say if you want something done right this is your guy, thank you Dwane for everything you did for us!!

After a long almost 3 years this man helped my dad beat his case. They beat 6 out of 7 charges and the seventh one was dismissed. Even though this case took forever Dwane Cates stayed very positive and never gave up or lost interest. I highly recommend this lawyer.

He & his associate s gave quality feedback, even on a misdemeanor ticket. They seem to be fluent in multiple languages, they took time to explain many avenues & outcomes, even on a very minor case. The free consultation was time well spent, and thier quote, was very affordable! I'd highly recommend.

I was very impressed by the staff at Dwayne Cates Lawgroup. They were compassionate and very easy to work with. They answered their cell phones, returned messages promptly, and were easy to communicate with. Tomasz Lichwala is a SUPER STAR!! He handled our case personally and was a fierce advocate for our family. I am very happy with his work!

Excellent and worth every penny without a doubt. This is the guy you want on your side. I am extremely confident in his abilities and he got me out of the worse situation one can imagine living in Phoenix, AZ. 10 out 10. And to tell you the truth, I fired my last attorney. Mr. Cates and his team took care of me from the very moment they signed on. I really really am indebted to Mr Cates and his team.

I was charged with a DUI in in AZ and I hired Mr. Cates to handle my case. My god he made the whole process feel less scary, and he was there to talk about all of the "what ifs" which made me feel like he cared more about me than just my money. Hopefully I never have to have Mr. Cates represent me ever again, but if I do need an attorney he is the first person I will always call!

Mr. Cates made a difficult situation much more palatable with his thorough explanations and his reassuring demeanor. His availability and dedication made us much more confident in a positive outcome, which he achieved. We could not have asked for more. He is a consummate professional. Thank you, Mr. Cates, from our entire family.

Cates set the tone for the results we were able to achieve in our case. He kept us informed throughout the process and as a result of his know-how he brought about successful conclusion to our case. By meeting with the prosecutor and judge in chambers prior to sentencing- he made a huge difference in the final outcome. We are so grateful and hiring Cates made a big difference.
