I have been impressed with the experience of having Aaron as my attorney, and it takes a lot to impress me. From the moment that I contacted him he was on the case and working for the best possible outcome. He always made sure I knew what was going on and what to expect every step of the way before I even needed to ask. I would recommend Aaron to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney and will not hesitate to call him if I am ever in need of an attorney to defend me in a criminal case. He saved me both a lot of time and money. I always dealt directly with him, not some paralegal working for him.

I was referred to Aaron Black by a friend who had used his services and was confident that he would be able to help us . He came highly recommended and when I contacted him, I immediately felt at ease and knew that we had made the right choice. A family member was charged with an extreme DUI. These charges were originally filed as a felony with a BAC of .20 and Aaron was able to have the State agree to a .15 DUI and reduced to a misdemeanor. Aaron was also key to keeping the fines to a minimum and was able to reduce the jail time to a minimum of two days. He also prepared us with all the required classes and made sure that these were completed prior to the court date. He was fully prepared for every hearing and took care of everything for us . Anytime I had a question he was available and would respond right away. If you are ever in a situation, where you need an attorney I highly recommend you contact Aaron Black. He will be by your side, every step of the way.

It will be Aaron Black. Aaron was referred to me and my son through another attorney that had helped my son in a previous case. I was provided a couple names from this previous attorney, and as soon as we spoke with Aaron, I knew he was the one. My son was facing class 3 felony charges with jail time and with Aaron’s diligence was able to reduce to a plea where he will earn a misdemeanor. The probation department was recommending Intensive Probation and Aaron was able to convince the judge that IP was not appropriate. As the mother of the accused, Aaron was able to keep my “mother-bear” mind at ease. He is very easy to communicate with and doesn’t make you feel like less of a person because you have been accused of a crime. Aaron is a class-act attorney and a wonderful person. Thank you, Aaron, for all that you have done to keep my son out of jail and to help steer him in the right direction.

I can’t thank Feldman Royle enough for their outstanding work on my case. From my very first meeting with Bret Royle and David Ernest Ahl, I knew I was in excellent hands. They took the time to listen, reassure me, and thoroughly walk me through each step of the process. Throughout the entire ordeal, the team was incredibly organized, responsive, and supportive—always keeping me informed without overwhelming me with unnecessary details. Their dedication and expertise ultimately led to a successful resolution of my case, and I’m grateful beyond words. If you’re looking for lawyers who genuinely care, are highly knowledgeable, and will fight tirelessly for you, I highly recommend the Feldman Royle team. Their professionalism and compassion set them apart, and they truly are the gold standard in legal defense.

I just want to express how grateful I am to have contacted them for my case. They are the most efficient, most professional, and most communicative firm i’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with. Mr. Tait and his assistant got all the required documents for me within a week of contacting them, something my previous attorney failed to do for an entire year. If you’re looking for help for something that’s within their area of expertise, please reach out and I promise you that you will not regret it. I would’ve saved myself so much time, money, and effort bouncing between law firms if I had contacted Tait & Hall first. I’d give them a thousand stars if I could. Thank you guys!!!!

If you're looking for the best business and contracts law firm in AZ, look no further! Fabian was literally a god send. I met with several lawyers before meeting Fabian. Once I met with Fabian, I knew hands down his law firm was the team I needed in my corner. Fabian and his associates are extremely thorough and immediately start strategizing once they learn about your case. It's the first time I ever faced a lawsuit (and hopefully the last) and it can honestly be intimating at times. However, they were great at explaining and guiding me through every step of the process. I learned so much from these guys and they quickly got my case settled before the discovery stage. They handed my case the way I hoped it'd be handled. I've seen several other post about money well spent and that's exactly how I feel as well. I will literally be recommending all my friends and family to Zazueta Law if they are ever in need. I've actually already referred one friend. After meeting with Fabian, they have decided to retain his services as well. Thank you Fabian and team for all that you did, not just for me, but for my family as well!

Gabriel is one of the best criminal defense attorneys out there. What sets him apart is that he legitimately cares about his clients. I have had to hire Gabriel on more than one occasion, during a time when I was spiraling legally and facing some serious consequences. He treated me with dignity and respect Not only did he provide a strong and solid defense, but expressed concern for me personally, helping me realize I needed to get some help. I have contacted him at times without retaining his services and he gave me his time and answered my legal questions without hesitation. Unlike other attorneys he isn't motivated by money. He is motivated by defending his clients and caring about the outcome of their situation. His dedication and passion for criminal defense law are second to none and is a man of great integrity. I don't trust any attorney the way I trust him.

I was referred to Gabe Hassen over four years ago for a case that should have been finished quickly. Gabe hung in with me through the entire process. He travelled to Casa Grande to personally meet with three prosecutors and to ensure a better result. He went above and beyond and I am very thankfully for his kindness and professionalism. I would certainly recommend him for any legal advice.

I worked with Connor and AJ with Cantor Law firm on my family law case, and I was very impressed with their level of expertise and the quality of representation. Connor and AJ were extremely knowledgeable, thorough and excelled at writing motions, which really got my point across. I believe this made a significant difference in my case, as their clear and compelling arguments helped strengthen my position. Connor was extremely well-informed about every detail of my case, even recalling critical information from months prior. His remarkable memory and dedication demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and ensured that no detail was overlooked. While the quality of the service was excellent, the fees were more than I expected going into it. Despite the cost, I believe the representation was worth the investment because, in the end, my children are all that matter. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also excels in effective legal writing and strong representation, I highly recommend Connor but be prepared for higher-than-expected costs, as high-quality legal representation can come at a premium.

My husband and I are very glad to have used Cantor Law Group's attorney services! From the very beginning and in our initial consultation, we were cared for and recommend the best lawyer for our particular needs. This was the first time we hired a lawyer, and Andrea Banks made the whole process easy to understand and very efficient. She was always on top of our needs and wishes being completed, and would regularly check in with us! We were so happy to have a lawyer we could call immediately if there were any sudden questions we needed answered, or any concerns we had. Andrea and her assistant Kendra are a wonderful team to work with and get the job done as soon as possible! We HIGHLY recommend this law office, but more specifically these two wonderful women who made sure we were well taken care of in our particular case!

You need Jenifer on your side! I had an EXCEPTIONAL experience working with Jenifer Bone. From start to finish, she demonstrated professionalism and dedication. Jenifer was incredibly knowledgeable and always took the time to explain complex legal terms in a way that I could understand. Her responsiveness to my questions was impressive. She always put my mind at ease and reminded me that she would be by my side the entire time. I was facing a challenging and frustrating petition to enforce and mediation process. Jenifer provided me with the guidance and support I needed. She was always prepared and fought tirelessly for my rights and made sure my voice was heard. Thanks to Jenifer's expertise, we achieved a favorable outcome in mediation. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. I can never thank Jenifer enough for her honesty and knowledge of family law. I am deeply grateful for her expertise, hard work and dedication. I appreciate how she handled the case with such professionalism and sense of humor when needed. She made me feel like a member of her family. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal assistance. Overall, Jenifer exceeded my expectations and provided outstanding legal support. I am so thankful I had her on my side during the whole process. Thank you, Jenifer!

A very good friend of mine had highly recommended Angela Duhon. As it turned out her case load was full and could not take my case. I ended up being blessed with Kylie Huffman-shayeb. She is caring on top of the case and usually response to an email within the hour. She’s even responded on holidays or weekends when she really doesn’t have to. The father’s attorney never showed up for court would always extend things and never had any of the paper work he needed in on time. It also seemed like his lawyer was using another vacation as an excuse to delay things. This attorney had a two star rating on google which answered a lot of my questions. I looked at Kylie’s reviews and of Course they where perfect I was very pleased with her. My first court case, my son was placed back into my custody after losing him to DCS. The father even abandoned his apartment and moved out of state so I couldn’t track him down . She was able to figure this all out for me. I didn’t really have anyone to help me. I had done all that I could, and I felt lost. She took care of everything. I definitely felt comfortable asking her anything she was always so kind and had a great point of view. She really knows the ropes and most of my attorney fees were owed back to me.

I used Kylie Huffman-Shayeb for my divorce case involving three minor children. She is considerate and pays very close attention to detail. Her communication to the court on my behalf was very precise, detailed and accurate. She knew exactly what my needs and concerns were, and she expressed them to the court in the best manner possible. In the end, my case never went to trial because we settled it through mediation. Kylie helped me mediate with my ex-wife's side. I do sometimes regret making the decision to try and solve things amicably (it was never amicable with my ex-wife) so we can all move on with our lives, but I'm sure if I did decide to go to trial, Kylie would have represented me well.

Look no further if your ever in need a the BEST Defense Attorney in AZ! I live in California and was so scared when I was trying to find an Attorney for my son who made a very stupid mistake. I was referred to John by another AZ Attorney who didn't have time for my son's case. As soon as I spoke to John, he made my anxiety attack disappear. I knew from the start he was experienced and could get us through this nightmare; and he did. John kept in touch with me throughout the whole process and answered all of my questions and made me and my son feel at ease. John also worked with me on his fee. I know this kind of hard work is expensive, but John worked out a very reasonable fee and saved us money. Thank you John, for all your hard work and dedication to my sons case. We appreciate you!

Wow, where to begin. This case was the first time I was ever a defendant. Scared of not knowing what happens, I reluctantly found Mr. Moore. He used his experience to explain the entire process to me and put my mind at ease. I would definitely use Mr. Moore in the future. We won our case( SLAM DUNK) and now I am in a better place for it. Mr Moore stood by my side and refuted all the lies propagated by the plaintiff. I cannot put in words how grateful I am to have the pleasure to do business with Mr Moore.

I cannot stress enough how much John Moore did for me in a time of crisis, frustration, fear and stress. From the minute I called his office and talked to his partner, they were both very responsive, friendly and started looking into my case right away, before even meeting with John in person. During my initial meeting with John I was a complete wreck. I was nervous, embarrassed, about to cry, and my mind was all over the place. From the very beginning of him offering me water and walking me to his office, I already felt better knowing there was NO JUDGEMENT and that he really just wanted to listen to the details of what had happened during my free consultation. John was very friendly and easy going, and didn't have that "cocky" lawyer appeal I had seen before and didn't like might I add. He was very honest with the fact that I did, indeed, need a lawyer and that it would be expensive but that he would charge way less than other "big name" lawyers. He gave me the time to shop around and said to contact him if I decided to move forward with him as my representation with absolutely no pressure. He was exactly right! I went to 3 other lawyers and he spot on about the price (competitors being anywhere form 3-6k more)! Not only was the price at others TOO high for me to afford or pay, but the environment and personality's of the others I visited were dreadful. One was a complete salesman and then asked me for 10k, another was basically falling asleep during my consultation and then said, "well, there isn't much I can do," and the third was so unmemorable that I can't even recall anything about him! While money was a factor in choosing the right lawyer, I am a big "gut instinct feeling" type person, and knew that I would ultimately choose the person who best resonated with me! I feel lucky and blessed, because not only was that person John, but he was the most affordable as well. I truly believe it was destiny for me to find him. Specifically, once hired, John kept me in the loop at all times and more importantly- did everything I needed him to do. He asked the right questions, gathered all of my information, handled the court dates and mostly, kept me calm. I kept asking him if there is anything I should do, or how worried should I be? His response was always calm and with a smile, "Don't do anything and don't worry... you really don't have to worry." This was so hard to hear because I WAS worried. Worried about my future, going to jail and just in general, was a big ball of stress. He totally helped calm me down and even assured me it was okay for me to cross the US/Mexico border to go on a retreat I had already planned! Not only did he tell me to go, but he told me to have a great time! About my case, he handled it well... beyond well... COULDN'T HAVE GONE BETTER! I was charged with a Felony 4 for a first offense shoplifting case. I was so afraid of reading about my future and what being a "felon" would do to my life. Not only did he get it dropped to a Misdemeanor, but he also pushed up on the prosecuting lawyer to allow me to take the shoplifting diversion program, in which once completed, the case would be closed. Oh happy day! He did it and all I had to do was show up to court, plead "no contest" and then agree to complete the diversion program, which I did within two weeks! In my opinion, John went ABOVE AND BEYOND what he had to. I learned more in his free consultation than the other three free consultations combined! In conclusion, if you are looking for a lawyer I CANNOT stress enough how perfect John is for the job! While he was my criminal defense lawyer, I am confident that whatever your legal issue he could help and do so with confidence, a smile and grace! He was honestly the best person to help me navigate around a legal system I know nothing about! You will not be sorry if you need to hire him for any reason!!!

I recently had the unfortunate experience of hiring a lawyer from a DUI law group based in Phoenix, Arizona, and sadly, my experience was overwhelmingly disappointing. I was tried in Mohave County, an area where my lawyer evidently had no prior experience or connections, which proved to be a significant disadvantage. Firstly, the cost of the service was exceedingly high compared to the quality of representation I received. Despite the hefty fees, I felt that I was not a priority for my lawyer. The level of communication was poor; my questions and concerns were met with delayed and often lackluster responses. This inconsistency was extremely frustrating during such a stressful time. Moreover, my lawyer falsely claimed to possess extensive knowledge about DMV procedures related to DUI cases. I discovered the truth rather late, leading to unnecessary confusion and added stress. The most troubling part was realizing that, had I not taken the initiative to speak directly to the judge, my sentence could have been much harsher. I found myself stepping into the advocacy role that I believed my hired professional would take on. In conclusion, I regret my decision to work with this DUI law group. I would advise others to conduct thorough research and ensure their lawyer has substantial experience and a track record of success in the specific county where their trial will occur. It’s crucial to have competent representation that provides value for money and actively supports you throughout the legal process.

I'd highly recommend Ryan and his team--they were all incredibly supportive, knowledgable, and always professional! Ryan actually takes the time to listen and empathize with clients. He was always easy to reach too. My situation was very stressful, and Ryan made every effort to make sure I was informed with all the pertinent details and was always on top of everything at all times! He fought for me in my case for 2 whole years before we ended up settling right before the hearing. I was very satisfied with the effort and hard work Ryan put into my case. There were so many details involved-it made my head spin but Ryan was always on top of things when I couldn't be. He is calm, collected, and totally organized with every little detail and step along the journey. I really always felt confident he was doing everything in his power to get me the best outcome possible. I'd recommend Ryan and his team to everyone who endures the awful experience of getting a DUI. I am so grateful for everything he did for me!

I worked with Connor and AJ with Cantor Law firm on my family law case, and I was very impressed with their level of expertise and the quality of representation. Connor and AJ were extremely knowledgeable, thorough and excelled at writing motions, which really got my point across. I believe this made a significant difference in my case, as their clear and compelling arguments helped strengthen my position. Connor was extremely well-informed about every detail of my case, even recalling critical information from months prior. His remarkable memory and dedication demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and ensured that no detail was overlooked. While the quality of the service was excellent, the fees were more than I expected going into it. Despite the cost, I believe the representation was worth the investment because, in the end, my children are all that matter. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also excels in effective legal writing and strong representation, I highly recommend Connor but be prepared for higher-than-expected costs, as high-quality legal representation can come at a premium.

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You

A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.

If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.

When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:

  • A Victim of Domestic Violence:
    • Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
    • Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
    • Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
    • Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
    • Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
  • Accused of Domestic Violence:
    • Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
    • Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
    • Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
    • Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.

Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.

What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?

A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:

  • For Victims:
    • Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
    • Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
    • Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
    • Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
  • For the Accused:
    • Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
    • Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
    • Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
    • Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.

How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?

Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
  • Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
  • Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
  • Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.

It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.
