If you’re currently under or think you may be subject to a criminal investigation and suspect you could face charges soon, you should reach out to our law firm immediately.

During a pre-file investigation, Arizona law enforcement is constantly watching. They monitor everything you say, everywhere you go, and any amount of guilt you reveal - big or small.
