I hired Glazer Law firm in 2016 and they were extremely communicative, punctual, and helpful. Now, in 2024, I needed court records but no longer live locally. Even though it's been 8 years since I was a client, Melissa went above and beyond to help me get the paperwork in a timely matter. I'm so grateful she was willing to take the time to get the documents from the court and also send them to me via priority mail, all pro bono.
It's clear to me that the Glazer, Hammond, Ruben & Smets firm cares a lot about their clients and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Mr. John Trebon..PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, & IMPRESSIVE IN ACTION!
We had a difficult Criminal case filed against us being accused of 2 Felony charges. The dispute on this matter began back in 2019 and to no resolve by the end of 2023 which was an exhausting couple of years. Then the harassment & felony charges were made in the beginning of 2024. We hired Mr. Trebon to represent us as our new counsel as he came highly recommended. We are very grateful to this day that we chose him! We worked very closely with him in providing all of the documentation to support our case. He took all of this information and turned it in to one very strong case of being Not Guilty! His extensive knowledge of the law is beyond impressive, but what was even more impressive and stood out was his performance in the Court room when it mattered the most!
Both cases he has represented us in over the past few months were DISMISSED and we are beyond grateful to him. We would highly recommend hiring Mr. Trebon and his team Suzy & Jan for any of your legal needs. Thank you all!

I never in my life, thought that I would ever be in legal issues with the state attorney, for something I did not intend to do. After reading Ryan Stevens reviews, I called him up. He immediately, set up an appointment to meet me here in Phoenix to discuss the matters in my case. He assured me that he would look into my case and help me out, giving me peace of mind. I hired him immediately, and let him overtake my case, since a previous attorney seemed lost with my case.
Ryan Stevens, with his professionalism and knowledge of the law, helped me through my case, from start to the end. I came out with a much lesser charge, and he then help clear. I would recommend Ryan Stevens, to anyone whom may encounter legal issues!

Both Elliot Alford and his secretary Sabine go above and beyond when it comes to helping their clients. Since the first phone call we had with Alford, he recommended what to do based on our immigration situation. Sabine is such a sweetheart and answers ALL questions you may have about your case.

This guy is unbelievably good. Got me out of a pretty serious situation. I’ve called around and they were asking for over 20grand and they said there is a possibility of prison time
Bryan asked for 14grand. But the kicker is that i didn’t spend a night in jail.
Very highly recommended. His experience is through the roof
I truly truly couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer in all honesty
Thank you Bryan

I received a DUI first of this year and I was freaking out. It was my first offense, I was panicking and not in a good headspace. So I was stressed to say the least. After seeing what the officer was charging me with I realized I needed a lawyer I could trust that could help me through this messed up situation I got myself into. Unfortunately every criminal defense/DUI lawyer in the Flagstaff area wanted a ridiculous amount of money for my DUI case and were not confident in the outcome. Almost everyone wanted over five thousand to do the case, until I talked to Bryan. He was a realist and didn't promise me any guaranteed outcome, but he was calm and told me he would do everything in his power to help me out. In my time of stress and panic I needed a person like that to calm me down and let me know it was all under control. So I hired him for a reasonable fee and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome, not just because his fee was reasonable but he did an outstanding job for my case. I went from being charged with a felony DUI charge to being brought down to a misdemeanor impaired to slightest degree. Bryan went above and beyond for me and I am eternally grateful for his efforts on helping me during my time of turmoil. If you need a criminal defense lawyer in Flagstaff Arizona for any reason especially a DUI Bryan Antol is your guy!

I was in a serious and first time legal situation and in need of just the right attorney, someone competent and respected, as my initial attorney fumbled the ball so to speak. Bryan Antol came recommended as one of the top criminal defense attorney’s in Arizona, and he absolutely lives up to this recommendation. Switching to him was the best thing I did. He was immediately compassionate and patient with me, offered a very fair fee, and answered all of my questions and concerns with precision. Whether he realizes this or not, he also enabled me to feel safe in the midst of an otherwise very scary time - his calm demeanor and obvious intelligence was just the right mix for my anxiety. He was clear in his approach to my case and helped me to understand the whole legal process (which was all so new to me!). He was able to get the more serious charge dropped, working out a plea agreement that not only kept me out of jail, but was also the absolute most lenient outcome I could’ve hoped for. I am deeply grateful! He was always lightning quick to respond to any of my inquiries or requests throughout my case and his whole staff was courteous and kind. He genuinely cares about his clients and has over 30 years of respected and reputable experience in the Flagstaff area, including over a decade of experience as a former prosecutor. If you want a smart, conpassionate, devoted, and respected lawyer on your side, I highly recommend Bryan and truly cannot thank him enough!

David’s law expertise is truly unmatched. He gets things done and delivers exactly what he promises. I was accused of severe charges I did not commit and felt so helpless. Having the law against you with such small odds can make you feel so anguished. David assured me and my family that I’d be home with my name cleared and here I am writing this review to bear witness of his expertise. He’s extremely thorough, professional, and compassionate. He treats you like family and is well prepared from having plan A-Z. I am a free man because of David Bednar and I am grateful for him and his team.

I absolutely recommend the Law Office of Benjamin L. Deguire, PLLC and very thankful Ben agreed to handle my divorce. From the start; Ben and Liz were both very understanding to my situation and helped me work through the entire process in so many ways. Ben specializes and is an expert in all areas of Divorce & Family Law. With his many years of experience practicing Family Law in Flagstaff; Ben knows how to get things done and is familiar with many Judges and other attorneys within the system. His knowledge base really helped throughout the process and in developing a strategy that resulted in settling out of court through Settlement Conferences. Ben and Liz are great people that were caring and professional to work with.

Ben and Liz are absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I had been blindsided by legal filings from my ex-husband regarding our child’s custody, which was a horrifying experience. I sought help last year absolutely terrified, and Ben took me on as a client. It was a long, painstaking process that included mediation, depositions, and ultimately ended in Ben defending me in a court trial that ended in my favor. At many times during the legal process, I was intimidated by the aggressive other side. Luckily, Ben was cool, confident, and knowledgeable every step of the way. Liz was constantly uplifting and encouraging. I know for a fact, without their help and compassion, I would have crumbled. They were constantly professional, sincerely concerned, communicative, and the outcome we strived for was reached. I’m so indebted to them, and recommend them to anybody who will listen.

A Beacon of Legal Expertise and Dedication
Having experienced challenges with the legal system, I want to share my experience with John Trebon and his office staff Suzy and Jan. After an initial representation with a less-than-favorable outcome, I found John Trebon through a referral. He took over my case, and the difference in dedication and results was significant.
From the start, John Trebon showed a high level of commitment to my case. He reviewed every detail and crafted a strategic approach that was innovative and based on settled case law. What set him apart was not just his legal skills but also how vigorously he defended my rights and interests, and the respect and patience I received from him and his assistants.
Facing an unreasonable prosecutor and a challenging legal system, John fought tirelessly. His professionalism and integrity were evident in every interaction, with both the court and me. It was clear that John had earned the respect of his peers and the judge. This respect came from his experience, ethical conduct, legal knowledge, and dedication to justice.
John’s efforts led to a complete dismissal of my case. This outcome seemed beyond my hopes, especially considering the civil rights issues he addressed. John represented me with the belief and vigor as if the case were his own.
For anyone facing legal challenges, I highly recommend John Trebon. His representation protected my relationship with my children and my livelihood. John Trebon is not just an attorney; he is a champion for his clients.

I am a commercial truck driver and Vaughan immediately knew how important it was for me to fight this ticket, where other attorneys I consulted in this matter did not. Not only did he completely understand my situation without my having to explain, he then represented me in court where he prevailed. Vaughan’s fees were extremely fair and he’s a very pleasant person to work with. Overall an outstanding experience.

I want to express my overwhelming appreciation for the work ethic and integrity of Mr. Winborne, and his entire firm. First, his office was very responsive to our initial call. We had emails and calls answered within hours, not days or weeks like many others we tried to work with. His retainer was fair, and MUCH lower than others who offered assistance. His legal advice was clear and knowledgeable. And then when the case was resolved in our favor, he actually returned the balance of the retainer! I cannot say enough about how pleased I was with his work.

Kenneth Sheffield is one of the most professional, confident, and assuring lawyers I’ve ever encountered. I found myself in a very unfortunate situation, and by the grace of God, I found the Rideout Law Group. Whether it was answering my questions at a minute’s notice, to transferring my case from the Public Defender’s Office with only a very short time frame available, Rideout Law Group handled absolutely every step with ease. Shortly after retaining a more professional and “by the book” counsel (Mr. Sheffield), compared to my assigned public defender, my case was ultimately dismissed. Do NOT play with your future and your record, especially in the state of Arizona. I would refer Mr. Sheffield and the Rideout Law Group to my family if the time ever came.

Ken returned my call pretty quickly regarding a traffic ticket and was not only willing to help me out, but even explained how to go about things myself (traffic court, mind you... not something more serious) if I was not able to afford his services. I am sure he does not have the time to do that for everyone, but he seemed very nice and was very helpful for me. At the end of the day, I expect that I will hire him just because he was so nice, so knowledgeable about the system and so helpful.

Declaring bankruptcy is both emotionally and practically challenging. You are required to accumulate and organize a staggering amount of paperwork in the midst of trying times. Kathryn Mahady walked us through this process with dependable excellence and personal attention to our questions and concerns. I highly recommend her services to anyone dreading the daunting task of declaring bankruptcy. She knows her stuff and cares about her clients.

I had never hired an attorney before so I really didn't know what to expect.
But Kathryn was (is) a very friendly and down to earth person.
She helped to understand clearly what was expected of me and what I could expect from her and the court system.
My case, for the most part is over except for an additional formality further down the line, but I believe, in the end, I will be satisfied with the result and will be able to go on happily with life with my issue resolved.
I believe Kathryn is a good lawyer and recommend working with her.
If I had other legal concerns, I would definitely consider her help. This experience has opened the door to my personal perceptions of legal works and has made me believe that, at times, in the future, I can truly receive assistance rather than just take a blow from the enemy. Strangely, I never knew I could get help before.

I'm not into working with lawyers, too much of a stereotype around this profession for my liking... My experience with Kathryn, however, has changed my mind forever! I didn't have any idea someone so REAL, so open-minded and so down to Earth could be a lawyer, not to mention the impeccable quality of service, efficiency, timeliness and personalized attention both to my case and to all of my questions - all the time, almost around the clock! I have already recommended Kathryn to all of my attorney-seeking friends and if you are in the area: I can guarantee there is no one else who can do a better job for you! Thank you, Kathryn, you are amazing!!!

This was the prosecuter on my sons murder case and he is absolutely the best I was a little skeptical at first cause he's younger but he proved to me that it doesn't matter young or not he is to the point . I felt so much better having him on our side and he fought for justice for my son every bit of every day and proved it all when this man was indeed convicted for the rest of his life for my sons murder. He is very wise and knows his laws and I'm so grateful to this attorney for ever and would highly recommend him to anyone

This lawyer dropped his client two months before trial, did not do any trial preparation, and refuses to refund the remaining monies.
Do not hire him. He NEVER calls his clients back and has too many clients. Do not hire him. Find another lawyer if you want contact and a competent lawyer.

His two cases started just after he had turned 18 and took nearly two years from start to finish and included two separate trials. We were assigned an overzealous Navajo County prosecuting attorney and Bruce made the perfect foil for his irrational ranting with his clear succinct arguments and questioning. He really cared about this case and the way the outcome would effect my son’s future. He always made time to discuss things with us and explain his reasoning. We started with 8 felony charges which included mandatory prison time and walked away with 2 misdemeanor convictions. We are so grateful to Bruce and his office and all they did for my son and our family.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
