DUI/DWI

This charge occurs when an individual is allegedly found to be operating a motorized vehicle under the influence of illegal drugs, controlled substances, or alcohol. Certain over-the-counter medications or prescriptions can be considered controlled substances in these cases. Learn more about DUI and Vehicular Crimes here.

The Valley Law Group’s team of criminal defense attorneys is committed to offering each of our clients the best legal service in Arizona.

Our services include the following:

Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation

Our services will begin with a comprehensive initial consultation, during which we will review the unique details of your case and determine what course of action to take in your defense. This first meeting will enable us to gain insight into the nuances of your charges and begin creating a plan to build you a solid defense. We will listen to your side of the story and offer our honest assessments and advice when it comes to your charges.

Investigation and Evidence Gathering

Then, we will move toward an investigation of your charges and gather our own evidence in your case. This will allow us to begin building your defense in order to challenge the prosecution’s case and evidence against you.

Negotiation with Prosecutors

Our extensive knowledge when it comes to cases of public order and safety crimes is well recognized in Arizona. We can put this knowledge to good use when negotiating with the prosecution on your behalf. We may be able to seek a reduction in charges or pursue alternative methods of sentencing. During this stage in the process, our priority is to advocate for you and preserve your rights.

Court Representation

If your case should move to a trial, your attorney will be there every step of the way, ensuring that you are receiving a fair trial. During a trial, we will present the formidable defense strategy we have constructed and diminish the prosecution’s case. Our objective at this time is to achieve a positive outcome for your case.

Should a conviction follow your trial, our care doesn’t end with sentencing. We will continue to fight for your rights and freedoms, either by seeking an appeal on your behalf or requesting an expungement of your record.

The Legal Process for Public Order and Safety Crime Cases

Navigating the legal process for public order and safety crime cases can be complex, especially for those who have not experienced the legal process before. The Valley Law Group is committed to working alongside our clients and offering our expertise and knowledge so that they can understand the process that awaits them.

Here is what you can expect:

Arrest and Booking

Once you have been arrested on public order and safety crime charges, you will be brought to your local police station and formally booked into their system. This process will typically include having your photographs and fingerprints recorded and providing personal information to the police. During this time, it is important that you remain calm and cooperative but refrain from making any statements until your attorney has arrived.

Arraignment

You will then be brought before a judge and formally charged at an arraignment hearing. At this hearing, you will be asked to supply the courts with a plea of either guilty, not guilty, or no contest. It is crucial that your attorney is present at this hearing so that they may provide the courts with the best plea for your case and charges.

Proceedings Pre-Trial

After your arraignment hearing, your attorney will meet with the prosecution assigned to your case in order to file motions, exchange evidence, and negotiate your charges. It is vital you stay in contact with your attorney during this time and provide them with any information they might request of you.

Plea Bargaining

When your attorney begins negotiations with the prosecution, they may be able to seek a reduction in your charges or alternative sentencing methods. Trust your lawyer to make the right arguments during this process, and refrain from interfering with the proceedings.

Trial

If your case goes to trial, your attorney will advocate for you in court and present your defense. They will also present the evidence they have gathered, work to discredit the prosecution’s argument, and cross-examine any witnesses. Then, the judge and/or jury will give their verdict for your case. Again, trust your attorney to represent your interests in court.

Sentencing

If you are found guilty, the judge will hand down a sentence. It is important that you comply with any sentencing and show your remorse because you may be able to seek an appeal or expungement in the future.

Post-Conviction

You may have an opportunity to seek an appeal or an expungement of your record. Should this opportunity arise, you will want to stay in close contact with your attorney, who can help you pursue this legal option.

How to Get a Disorderly Conduct Charge Dropped?

Wonderful experience knowledge and responsive. Elda and Jonathan were helpful and responsive to all my questions and concerns . I was going to so much stress Elda was great responding to my emails it never took more than 24 hours to get a respond from her. I highly recommend Elda and Jonathan to all my friends and family.

Thank you Jon for helping me with my case and making me feel comfortable during the proceedings. I appreciate the guidance you provided and legal recommendations so that I could result in the best possible outcome for my situation. I would have been very lost without your help!

Katie is great along with entire team! Very professional and great at what they do. Highly recommend for child custody. I did a lot of research for the right law firm and happy/confident I chose this firm!

Simply put, Ryan is outstanding! ! I’ve used his services exclusively for the last 6+ years on multiple custody and visitation cases. After having gone through three less than transparent attorneys before Ryan, it was incredibly refreshing when I found him. He’s courteous, responsive and the utmost professional. Best of all, I feel that I can trust his advice explicitly. A true rarity in this industry! Bottom line: I wouldn’t consider even having a conversation with another attorney!

Ryan did a good job especially considering I didn't have an attorney most of my divorce. I would recommend him, but get him onboard at the beginning not the end.

The experience and information that was given to me was of great value. Very professional and with a personal touch. I greatly appreciate all their help. Thank you
