Arnie

GoogleReview “More than a year ago, I found myself in some serious legal trouble facing the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence. My fiancé, Jackie and I decided we needed a good attorney to help us maneuver through this difficult situation. We are not rich people and we were afraid that we would not be able to find a reliable and reputable firm at a price we could afford. We searched the internet and came across Future First Law Firm. When Jackie saw the high rating and many five star reviews she convinced me to give them a call. After a short conversation with Zach, we were both convinced we had found the right firm. It took over a year and several court appearances but Zach and his team stood by my side through it all and helped me get a great plea. It was a nerve-racking process, but Zach was always patient and ready to address any concerns we had. Thanks to Future First, we are excited about our plans for the future. If you find yourself in a legal mess, I highly recommend hiring Zach and his team.”

Edward

GoogleReviewI contacted Future First on behalf of my mother who was arrested for a DUI. I was able to explain the situation and share details as soon as I had them. Immediately Future First was able to identify the situation and then begin to walk me and my mom through next steps. From the first call to the end of the court hearing to post court follow-ups, we felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. Thank you Future First for guiding us through a difficult situation!

 

Roberto

GoogleReviewMy experience hiring Future First Law Firm to fight for me in court is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Also very affordable. I called around multiple Criminal law firms but others just didn’t compare to Zackary and his team. Other law firms charge extremely high prices and didn’t seem to care about my case, they were only interested in the money they would receive. BUT not Zackary and his team! They actually cared enough to ask about what’s the best outcome I would want to get after all set in done. I had multiple DUI charges against me and I told the law firm I really don’t want the interlock in my car, I don’t want to pay high court fees and they really delivered! Future First  is worth every penny! They protected my record and I recommend them highly. I was hesitant at first because I never dealt with attorneys but now I’m very happy I chose the right team. The team walks you through everything, makes it very simple to understand, and are always ready to answer your questions. I was asking lots of questions and they answered every single one. That gave me confidence in the team to perform and deliver results. You need to hire the best Attorney to represent you. Zackary and his trusted team is who you need to call!

Did You Know?? Arizona has a “Lookback Period” For DUIs

AZLookback

In states like Arizona, the penalties for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol become increasingly severe with each subsequent offense. Officials use a lookback period to determine the timeframe within which prior DUI offenses can be considered. In Arizona, this lookback period extends to seven years preceding the current offense.
