Arizona Criminal Defense Attorney

Hire a Good Attorney When Facing a Criminal Offense

Legal Expertise

If you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney. Criminal charges create an overwhelming amount of anxiety, and the last thing you need from a lawyer is a sales pitch. What you need is someone who will answer your questions, explain your options, and give you confidence. A legal expert is your ally in justice. Few people possess the legal expertise or experience to navigate court proceedings, which only adds anxiety to an already stressful experience. That’s why you need the best.

Experience and Care

Choosing great Phoenix criminal lawyers doesn’t need to be hard. You need a lawyer who has successful defended hundreds of cases during their career. Choose a lawyer who gives each case the personal attention it deserves and keeps you informed every step of the way. Your case needs to be defended compassionately, and your rights need to be protected.

If I could give Armando Nava more than a 5 star review I would do it in a heart beat. I have known him for a while now and he is someone I genuinely respect and admire. He is there for you no matter how hard or easy your case is, he does not judge you, and he does everything in his power to make the client satisfied.

I am writing this review almost a year after my charge (that I thought was going to do a year in jail) was dismissed. Armando has been very transparent and always available. I still ask him for legal advice even after my case was finished and he always helps. He will be a great ally for you and has been a dear friend for me.

A black man was pulled over by Salt River Police Department while visiting from out of town. Despite showing no signs of impairment, the officers arrested him and charged him with DUI Drugs.

A man was charged with attacking a family with a knife. After reviewing the evidence, it was determined that the instrument used was not a knife at all.

A man was out on a walk and was stopped by police because he was in the area of an attempted vehicle theft. The man maintained his innocence, but the owner of the truck identified him as the man he saw attempt to steal it. We worked tirelessly to prepare a defense and get the prosecution to see reason. The State wouldn’t budge, so the case went to trial. After a 4 day trial, the jury took approximately 10 minutes to return a Not Guilty verdict.
