Experienced criminal attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants form the Law Offices of David A. Black. They have successfully represented clients charged with offenses ranging from misdemeanor and felony assaults to DUIs and theft. 

We are talking about dismissed cases and results exceeding expectations, thanks to the defense team’s strategic approach. Responsiveness at every step is a huge part of that, and defendants say it kept them well-informed. 

Better yet, lawyers consistently put up a good, confident performance in Phoenix courts. 

Licensed by the State Bar of Arizona and a Martindale-Hubbell’s AV Preeminent rating holder (the highest peer-reviewed honor), their professionalism and legal excellence truly stand out. Best Lawyers even named them among the U.S. Best Law Firms.

While they make it clear that pretrial representation is billed at flat fees and trial work is billed hourly, a few clients wanted quicker email replies about costs. Others, meanwhile, were left hanging by unfulfilled same-day callback promises. 

The attorneys are knowledgeable, experienced, and tremendously responsive

“Unfortunately, I found myself in need of some legal support recently and began the important process of finding an experienced, very reputable and proactive firm to handle my case. After much discussion with a number of firms, I decided to work with Law Offices of David Black. One of the best decisions I have ever made. Working closely with David and his Associate, Brenna Fisher, I received the kind of representation that was exemplary. The attorney’s are knowledgeable, experienced and tremendously responsive. My case was handled in a timely manner and the results exceeded expectations. You could not hire a better firm to handle your case. I highly recommend the Law offices of David Black and Brenna Fisher.”

Thanks to David’s hard work and strategic approach, my case was dismissed

“I am beyond grateful to David and his firm for their exceptional legal expertise and unwavering support throughout my case. From our initial consultation, it was clear that I was in capable hands. David took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, provided clear guidance, and kept me informed at every step. What truly stood out was their dedication and responsiveness. No matter how many questions I had or how anxious I felt, David and his team were always there to offer reassurance and sound advice. Their professionalism and commitment were evident in every interaction. Thanks to David’s hard work and strategic approach, my case was dismissed, allowing me to move forward with my life. I can’t thank them enough for the peace of mind they’ve given me. If you’re seeking a lawyer who combines expertise with genuine care for their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend David A Black. They made a challenging time much more manageable, and I will forever be grateful for their assistance.”

Criminal defense attorneys at The Law Offices of Alcock & Associates are also DUI lawyers. They have handled over 10,000 cases in these areas, securing victories, including a 2022 dismissal of a disorderly conduct assault and an extreme DUI. 

This track record earned them a spot on The National Trial Lawyers Top 100, along with their superb Avvo score and BBB accreditation with an A+ rating.

A contributing factor behind these wins is the insider knowledge that former Maricopa County prosecutors on the team bring. Clients appreciate how the lawyers patiently explain everything and stay communicative throughout. 

We were also impressed by their expertise in personal injury settlements and family law. But if you are considering immigration services, know that others have encountered visa denials and long, frustrating waits. 

Fortunately, the firm’s flexible payment plans and guaranteed lowest fees make up for it. 

Without question, the ideal lawyer you would want representing you in any case

“Working with Lauren was truly a phenomenal experience from start to finish. She is the kind of lawyer everyone hopes to find: personable, attentive, and genuinely committed to her clients. From our very first interaction, she made my husband and me feel comfortable and confident, even during moments when the process could have felt overwhelming. One thing that really stood out to us was how thoughtful and supportive she was during our in-person visit. The visit itself was nearly perfect, and a big part of that was Lauren’s kindness. She went above and beyond, even saving us a spot in an extremely long line so that we wouldn’t have to stress or scramble. It was such a small gesture on her part, but it made a huge difference to us and speaks volumes about the type of person and professional she is. Lauren was also incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. She kept us informed at every stage, answered all of our questions with care, and made sure we always understood what to expect. Because of her dedication and the professionalism of the entire law office, the whole experience was so much smoother than we ever imagined. We are sincerely grateful for everything Lauren did for us. She is, without question, the ideal lawyer you would want representing you in any case. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

The assigned lawyer is not only knowledgeable but also attentive to my situation 

“I have worked with this law firm on two cases this year, as well as a case back in 2020, and each time I have felt fully supported. The assigned lawyer is not only very knowledgeable but also genuinely caring and attentive to my situation. I truly appreciate all the time, effort, and guidance provided. This firm goes above and beyond, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking thoughtful and dedicated legal support.”

MayesTelles’ criminal defense lawyers draw on more than 200 years’ combined experience. Much of it comes from former prosecutorial work, which reflects their strong negotiation skills in reducing felony charges to misdemeanors or probation. 

Felony assault, aggravated DUI, and multiple criminal charges are among the thousands of cases they’ve won in the Maricopa County Superior Court. Clients thank the team for each one, noting their diligence and confident representation. 

Led by attorneys listed in The National Top 100 Trial Lawyers, the firm maintains a high level of professionalism. And we found it fosters a non-judgmental environment where people feel supported and respected. 

Communication is generally clear, though occasional cost surprises have arisen. One client faced $500 investigation fees; another received a $6,000+ bill for a driving ticket case handled elsewhere for $2,000.  

The good news is that for personal injury or immigration matters, the Super Lawyers-recognized attorneys are equally prepared to assist. 

Secured a misdemeanor charge and convinced the court to reduce my probation 

“America’s Justice System may be considered the best in the world it is never a quick and easy system to go through. Melanie Laboy and Sheri Castillo have been on top of my case from the beginning and put my mind at ease. The communication between my team is quick and personable, allowing me to stay aware of where we are in the process. Sheri Castillo has been able to file several critical motions on my behalf quickly and precisely. Melanie Laboy has been working diligently with all parties to resolve my case and allow me to move on with my life. I would recommend this fantastic team to anyone needing a strong and competent criminal legal team. I have been working with your staff for over 2 years now. They have been very professional and went above and beyond what most people would expect. I have been able to put my case behind me and begin to move forward with my life. I have to say that even after what most would consider the end of my case Melanie and Brook continued to file motions and followed up to complete some last minute issues. Melanie was able secure an immediate misdemeanor charge and convince the court to reduce my probation to only a one year instead of the two suggested by the state. Melanie and Brook followed up one month later and were able to convince the court to terminate my probation after only 4 months even after the state and probation objected. (I’m sure my co-defendant wished he hired your firm) Brook also made arrangements for me to collect my property and followed up to make sure I was successful. These areas relieved a lot of stress from my plate. While I hope I never need have your services again, you will be my first call if I do. However, I will be securing your services to attempt to set aside my case in the near future.”

Communication was clear, calm, and I was met with zero judgment  

“I can’t thank the law offices of Mayes Telles, along with my assigned Managing Attorney Chris Culbert and Paralegal Shameeka Johnson enough for such great service and representation. From the very beginning I felt supported, informed, respected. Communication was clear, calm, and I was met with zero judgment. I always felt confident my case was in the best hands. They explained everything, answered every question and treated me like a person, not a case. I’m very grateful for the guidance and the outcome. Choosing this firm was an investment in peace of mind and the level of care and advocacy I received confirmed it was the right decision. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks again, Darren J.”

Most assault cases—misdemeanor and felony—taken on by the Phoenix Criminal Lawyers involve juveniles. We have heard families express gratitude for the prompt guidance that eased the process and often led to the best possible outcomes. 

The firm has a 95% success rate and has reduced charges by 85%. Included in these numbers are adults defended in Phoenix courts for drug, federal, or white-collar crimes—many of whom were able to move forward at fair, transparent prices. 

Super Lawyers Rising Star Attorney Jeremy Geigle is at the helm. His recognition as one of the 10 Best Attorneys for the State of Arizona by the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys further strengthens the team’s credibility. 

However, because they primarily focus on juvenile assault cases, some adults facing the same charges found it harder to get in touch. For instance, lawyers weren’t as responsive or forthcoming with information. 

They helped me move forward at a reasonable price 

“I had my record set aside with the help of this Lawfirm! Great people to work with. They helped me to move forward at a reasonable price! I would highly recommend them to anyone in need.”

They reduced my sentence greatly, much more than I ever expected 

“Jackson white handled my case a few years ago and it was the best lawyer interaction I’ve had by far. They reduced my sentence greatly much more than I ever expected. Everyone was amazing and professional very nice and pleasant to work with. I’d give more stars if possible lol but I recommend to everyone!!”

Litwak Law Group’s tagline—“aggressive, experienced, affordable”—rings true, as client experiences show. The lawyers are known to advocate fiercely, applying deep knowledge to every case while tailoring fees to different budgets without surprises.

We have seen these qualities highlighted not only in testimonials but also in publications such as The New York Times and Phoenix Magazine.   

Assault cases, be it simple, aggravated, or domestic violence, sit at the top of their expertise list. Add the DUI and criminal defense successes that counted them among the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys’ 10 Best Law Firms. 

Even the founder, Jack Daniel Litwak, is a Super Lawyers Rising Star-rated attorney. Under his hands-on leadership, people remain in the know throughout the process—helping ease uncertainty during an already stressful time. 

One area for improvement, though, is attentiveness, as certain clients have felt overlooked in court. Even so, many charges were dismissed and sentences reduced, owing in part to the firm’s extensive work in the Maricopa County Superior Court.

Made the entire process easy and took a huge weight off my shoulders 

“As a college student at ASU, dealing with a legal charge was extremely stressful. From the very first call, Jack and Samantha made the entire process easy to work through and took a huge weight off my shoulders. Samantha was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about helping me. Thanks to her hard work, my failure to obey charge was dismissed. I couldn’t be more grateful and would highly recommend Litwak Law to anyone needing legal help.”

Knows how to advocate effectively while keeping things straightforward 

“Jamaar Williams is the kind of attorney you hope you never need…but if you do, you want him in your corner. He’s smart, prepared, and incredibly professional. He took the time to understand the details, answered every question, and was always a step ahead. You can tell he’s respected and he knows how to advocate effectively while keeping things straightforward. Litwak Law Group is lucky to have him.”
