There are many great attorneys in Maricopa County. I should know. As a prosecutor I went head to head against a lot of them. When you hire a lawyer, experience and knowledge are important things, but not everything. The attorney-client relationship is roughly (very roughly) like a marriage; it really helps to have good communication and rapport with your attorney. You’ve got to like your attorney and feel comfortable with him or her.
I can be blunt and direct sometimes – I think it helps me tremendously as an attorney – but maybe you want, or need, an attorney with a more gentle approach. Whatever the case, there is an excellent attorney for you in this area. Below are some other lawyers that I think are terrific. I’m only listing a few (I don’t want to create too much competition for myself!). I’ve gone against each of these lawyers and they’re tough.
