Phoenix Criminal Defense Lawyers

Protecting Your Rights and Your Future

Positively Impacting Lives Through Effective Legal Advocacy

Arizona’s criminal defense law is intricate and challenging. A thorough understanding of the law is just the beginning—your lawyer must also be familiar with the judge’s temperament, past rulings, and case precedents. Equally important is identifying procedural errors that the prosecution may have made, which can be crucial to your defense.

Our goal is to level the criminal justice playing field and give every client a fair shot at justice. By providing dedicated representation, we strive to keep good people out of jail and help them achieve realistic, positive outcomes for their cases.

  • DUI

  • Criminal Charges

  • Sealing Records

More than 70 million people in the United States have a criminal record—a number that’s only expected to grow. With many criminal defendants unable to afford their own lawyer, it’s no wonder the U.S. leads the world in incarceration rates.

Given these realities, anyone facing criminal charges must have quality legal representation. While public defenders are just as educated and skilled as private lawyers, they often face one major challenge: time. Public defenders are typically overwhelmed by heavy caseloads, sometimes managing up to 80–100 cases per week. This often leads to rushed and unfair plea deals. By hiring a dedicated Phoenix criminal defense lawyer, you significantly increase your chances of achieving a favorable outcome.

Criminal Defense Lawyers

Before you hire a lawyer dedicated to criminal law, it is imperative you know what a criminal defense lawyer can and cannot do. Your lawyer has an overarching swath of legal maneuvers at their disposal. It is their duty to assess your case, inform you of your options and potential consequences, investigate the facts, interview witnesses, confer with the prosecution, and competently represent you in the court of law. A Phoenix criminal defense lawyer will have fewer cases than a public defender. As a result, they will be able to focus more time on your case as well as maintaining contact with their clients.

When Should You Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

Arizona’s criminal defense laws are notoriously complex. It’s not enough for your lawyer to simply understand the law; they must also be familiar with the judge’s temperament, track record, and relevant case precedents. Additionally, they need to spot procedural errors the prosecution may have made, which can significantly impact your case. Below are key situations where hiring an independent criminal defense lawyer is essential:

  • You’ve Been Charged with a Crime – If you’re facing criminal charges, it’s critical to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately to protect your rights and build a solid defense.
  • You Are Guilty of the Crime – Even if you’ve committed a crime, you still deserve representation. A skilled Phoenix criminal defense lawyer can negotiate reduced charges, lighter penalties, or alternative sentencing.

The only time you wouldn’t need a criminal defense lawyer is if you don’t care about the outcome of your case. For most people, though, the stakes are too high to risk going without proper legal representation.

While the Sixth Amendment guarantees your right to legal counsel, it doesn’t guarantee that public defenders will have the time or resources to give your case the attention it deserves. Working with a dedicated criminal defense lawyer in Phoenix ensures that you’ll have the focused, knowledgeable representation necessary for a strong defense.

At Future First Criminal Law we bring years of courtroom success and a unique perspective. Our lawyers know the criminal justice system inside and out—not just from the lawyer’s side, but also from the defendant’s. As a young man, Zachary Divelbiss was charged with crimes and spent time in jail. This experience opened his eyes to the overwhelming number of people being convicted due to inadequate representation.

He founded this firm to stand up for those who have been overlooked and underserved. Without proper criminal defense, many of these individuals are all but guaranteed to be convicted. At Future First, we are committed to fighting for those who deserve a second chance, no matter their background.

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."
