Visit our Family Law Areas of Practice to learn more.

Our Criminal Law Practice is devoted to representing clients charged with criminal misdemeanors and DUI’s in Phoenix Municipal Court, Scottsdale Municipal Court, Gilbert Municipal Court, Tempe Municipal Court and Chandler Municipal Court. We will occasionally represent clients in other courts; however that decision is determined on a case-by-case basis.

Why do we limit ourselves to only a few courts and to only defending criminal misdemeanors and DUI’s?  The answer is easy – we are a results driven firm and this simply allows us to maximize our time and efforts in a single direction with the goal of achieving the best possible resolution for each client. Your case will not be handled by an associate or a paralegal. Your case is personally handled by attorney Alicia Morrison.
