I needed an attorney and called Mr. Jamal Allen. I spoke directly to him and hired him after consultation. Mr Allen listened to my concerns and explained the legal ramifications of my case. He also asked what was my expectation with regards to case resolution. Mr. Allen was phenomenal in court. He was very professional, had a great understanding of my situation and was experience with his handling of the prosecutor and judge. I wouldn't use any other attorney other than Mr. Allen. Forgot to mention. His price was very reasonable. I was totally satisfied with his services and the court outcome.

I hired Mr. Allen to represent me in a felony drug case and I could not be happier with the results. Jamal and Kourtney were very patient and informative in answering all my questions and walking me through each step of the case. I was very happy with the deal Mr. Allen got for me in the end. Not just great lawyers but great people too. I would definitely hire him again.

Jamal Allen and Kourtnie Richey were supportive thorough in handling our accident case. They made a difficult process much easier. They were truly a joy to work with during a very scary and trying time for me and my family. Not only did they help us with the accident case but was very helpful with suggestions for other doctors that were needed to help me heal. I would recommend their services to anyone!

After days of research on law firms in the valley that specialize in gun rights I contacted the Heath law firm to help me restore my 2nd amendment rights after a mistake I made almost 30 years previous earned me a class 3 felony on my record. Paula was very helpful and kept me updated on the process. They were very patient with me while I collected character letters to add to my petition and it was a very easy process overall. I received the news this morning 10/4/23 that my motion was granted and I am free of the prohibition that has followed me since 1996. I would definitely refer the Heath law firm to anyone looking to get their life back in order.

I recently moved to AZ from CA, and I was pulled over (speeding), and the cop that pulled me over told me I was lucky he wasn’t going to arrest me, because I was going (what he said) was 20 miles over the posted speed limit as well as in a school zone. I was completely shocked, since this was my very first time being pulled over in the 20+ years I’ve been driving. The cop told me that I will need to go have my fingers printed and get my pictures taken. This whole situation was eased when I reached out to Mark and his team. After our first conversation on the phone I knew I was in good hands. I felt that Mark and his team listened to me, and provided me with the very best outcome possible. I am so thankful. You rock and if I ever need an attorney I will definitely use Mark and his team again.

I have no words for how amazing Stephanie is! If you are looking for someone who will get the job done, Stephanie is who you want on your team. Stephanie advocated for our family and our children. She listened to us, and I mean really listened to us. We ended up with the best case scenario in our court case after years of work and documentation. Stephanie looked at EVERY piece of evidence after coming into our court case after we were already five years in, and she knew our case like she was living it with us. Stephanie is empathetic, always professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Like many court cases there was a lot of tension between parties and she managed it all so well and professionally. 10/10 recommend! If you are newly looking for legal services, are getting nowhere with your current case, or just feel lost, Stephanie is who you need!

Stephanie is very professional, ethical and thorough! She keeps a high standard of integrity and honesty, basing my case on facts and giving me the final review before anything she has prepared for me is sent out on my behalf is important to me. Stephanie’s experience is evident in the work that she does, her knowledge of the law speaks volumes about her experience. I have already recommended her to a friend.

We hired Juan Rocha back in 2015 for my husband seeking help with his immigration process and I honestly think the process would have been faster if my previous lawyer wouldn't have made the mistakes that he did (fired him) and I hired Juan Rocha, It defiantly was a process but he got it done, thanks to him my husband was able to see his parents and family after 15 years a day that my husband and I will forever hold in our hearts.
Juan has a very special way of expelling things and he makes sure before you leave that you understand what you talked about, he doesn't forget about you he communicates and reaches out to you in regards of your case. Juan Rocha for our family is an angel sent from above, he has a heart of gold and most of all he loves what he does and cares.
I will defiantly continue to use him if I need to and also I send everyone to him. Juan Rocha keep doing what you do best and may god continue to bless you and guide you!

Mr. Stapley gave me tailored advice on a very specific personal injury topic. It saved me a ton of time and costs. I like his cut-to-the chase approach, but thoughtful and professional style. His technical and client-centered approach makes him a rare find.

From the beginning Chris has been awesome. He has always kept me informed. He doesn't spend any money without asking first. He has set the bar pretty high. This is our first time having to use a lawyer for anything. He is a 10 when is comes to being personable. I have never once felt I didn't understand anything he was telling me. He broke it all down and explained it piece by piece.

Mr. Stapley is a knight in shining armor! Okay, that may be a bit dramatic, but at the time, I sure felt like he'd come to my rescue. I'm no princess, and the boss I was trying to figure out how to escape was no dragon. She was more like... Cinderella's evil step mother. I taught music at her school. Without an exhaustive retelling of my woeful tale, may it suffice to say my boss made my life completely miserable for about 2 years, and just about killed my love for music. Adding insult to injury, she tried to make it impossible for us to leave and find work elsewhere by forcing me and my fellow teachers there to sign a non-compete contract stating that if our employment at her school was ever terminated, we had to agree not to teach music anywhere in the area she claimed for a year from the day our employment with her was terminated. The contract threatened us with an expensive lawsuit if we were to try to teach anyway. So basically, if we didn't want to work for her anymore, or if she "terminated" our employment herself, we would not be able to work in our profession for a year unless we moved to a different city. (The area she claimed was better than 50 miles around!) Mr. Stapley consulted with me and reviewed her contract, confirming that her contract was not only ridiculous, it was not legally binding. He gave me the tools I needed to walk into her office and quit with confidence, knowing I'd be safe from her threats afterwards. Because of Mr. Stapley's assitance, I escaped! I am now very happily employed and rediscovering what I love at a different music school!

I was in an accident that was no fault of my own. My car needed extensive repairs and I had to go to physical therapy. I was trying to be fair and deal with the person at faults insurance company one on one. In the future, I would advise anyone against this. They acted like my best friend until it was time to take care of things. Because I waited, I had a couple lawyers, turn me down to help me. Keith excepted my case and got me not only my reimbursement of medical and lost wages, but a fair and reasonable amount for pain and suffering. Had the insurance company dealt with me fairly they would have paid much less than what I ended up receiving. Thank you Keith for advocating for me! I would not hesitate recommend him to friends and family.

I called Ashley to inquire about a possible lawsuit against a Money transmitting business. Ashley was quick to assess the case and then strongly advised against a formal lawsuit. Instead, she provided an alternative route to a solution which I am now persueing. In the conversation it became obvious that Ashley has in-depth knowledge about digital media in general and about money transmitting businesses in particular. She also was very friendly to talk to. 5 out of 5 stars, I fully recommend her for any issue dealing with the aforementioned fields of business.

My experience working with attorney Justin Call was exceptional. He is very personable. I felt comfortable working with him from the very beginning of our first meeting. I wanted to set up a Trust. Even after looking online to educate myself, I was still somewhat unclear about all that was involved. Justin was very patient and knowledgeable as he explained the various aspects that were important for me to fully understand. I was able to ask questions that he answered clearly. I grew more confident in what I needed to do for the Trust, and how it worked in general, due to his supportive demeanor.
It was a great time saver that our first 2 meetings were virtual. I appreciated his staff setting them up to fit my schedule. Reminder emails were appreciated. When I went to Justin’s office to review and sign the documents, he continued to take the time to make sure I understood everything I was signing.
Working with Justin was a pleasure. Because of his hard work and commitment, I now have a complete Trust I fully understand. I recommend him to anyone who expects an attorney to be committed to your needs and to work hard in your best interests. Thank you.

I recently had the privilege of consulting with Attorney Justin Call regarding an appeal for my case, and I must say, my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, Justin demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal intricacies involved, which immediately instilled a sense of confidence.
What truly set Justin apart was his ability to convey complex legal concepts in an understandable manner. He patiently explained each step of the appeal process, ensuring I was fully informed and comfortable with the proceedings. His dedication to my case was evident through his meticulous attention to detail and his proactive approach to addressing potential challenges.
Moreover, Justin's empathetic and supportive demeanor made a typically stressful process much more manageable. He was always available to answer my questions and provide reassurance when needed.
Overall, my experience with Attorney Justin Call was outstanding. His expertise, coupled with his genuine commitment to his clients, makes him an invaluable asset to anyone navigating the complexities of the legal system. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective legal representation

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.
