Criminal Charges We Defend in Phoenix

Arizona's criminal justice system treats every charge seriously, and so do we. Our knowledgeable Phoenix criminal defense attorneys defend clients across the full spectrum of criminal cases throughout Phoenix and the Valley, including: 

Violent crimes like assault, aggravated assault, and domestic violence carry some of the harshest penalties in Arizona. A conviction can mean prison time, protective orders, loss of firearm rights, and lasting damage to your personal and professional life.

DUI and driving offenses escalate quickly in Arizona. Whether you're facing a standard DUI, extreme DUI, aggravated DUI, criminal speeding, or hit and run charges, the penalties increase sharply based on your BAC level and prior history.

Drug crimes range from simple possession to distribution and paraphernalia charges. Arizona has shifted some drug possession cases toward treatment-focused alternatives, but prosecutors still pursue aggressive penalties in many situations.

Sex crimes, including child molestation, indecent exposure, and public sexual indecency, carry severe consequences beyond incarceration, including mandatory sex offender registration that can follow you for life.

Property and conduct offenses like criminal damage, criminal trespass, and disorderly conduct may sound minor, but even misdemeanor convictions can affect employment, housing, and your permanent record.

Probation violations and professional license defense require immediate, strategic attention. A violation can send you back to jail, and a criminal charge can put the career you've built at risk.

At Genesis Legal Group, our dedicated Phoenix criminal defense attorneys evaluate the specifics of your charge and build a defense tailored to your situation.

What to Do After You've Been Arrested

The hours and days following an arrest are critical, and we've seen firsthand how the right actions during this window can change the trajectory of a case. What you say and do right now can strengthen or weaken your defense before your attorney even enters the picture.

The single most important step is exercising your right to remain silent. Anything you say to police, investigators, or even friends and family can be used against you. Politely decline to answer questions and ask for an attorney immediately.

Beyond that, protect yourself by following these steps:

  • Do not consent to searches of your home, vehicle, or phone without a warrant
  • Do not post about your arrest or case on social media
  • Write down everything you remember about the arrest while details are fresh
  • Save any evidence that may support your case, including text messages, photos, or witness contact information
  • Contact a criminal defense attorney before your first court appearance

Early intervention makes a real difference, and it's where empathy meets excellence in how we approach every case. Our strategic Phoenix criminal defense attorneys begin investigating immediately, challenging procedural errors, preserving evidence, and identifying weaknesses before the prosecution gains momentum.
