- Remaining Calm If You Have Been Charged With a Crime
When someone is faced with being prosecuted for a crime in Phoenix or anywhere in Arizona, he or she begins the process of dealing with an incredibly formidable foe in the government and the prosecutors whose job it is to obtain convictions. The most natural psychological reaction to finding out that you could be charged with and/or prosecuted for a crime is to recoil in fear and to hope that the matter somehow resolves itself.
Simply put, this is not how any criminal matter will proceed. Therefore, if you find yourself embroiled in this type of situation, the first thing you need to do is to contact an experienced Phoenix criminal defense attorney for the help you need to work through this matter.
Below are a few reasons as to why experience matters when it comes to defending yourself against criminal charges.
Objectivity – Phoenix Criminal Defense
Being charged with a crime is an intensely emotional situation to deal with, and now is the time when, perhaps like no other situation before, emotion needs to be removed from any decision-making process.
You need a clear head helping you work towards a resolution to this matter, and an experienced criminal defense attorney in Arizona will be able to manage your case properly and to help you make sound decisions regarding how to proceed based on that experience.
Every detail of every criminal law case could prove to be critical in regards to the ultimate outcome, and calm decision-making is simply an irreplaceable quality.
Reputation of a Phoenix Criminal Defense Lawyer
When the prosecutor’s office is alerted to the fact that you’ve retained a Phoenix criminal defense lawyer, it’s important that those who will be prosecuting your case recognize the name of your attorney and that they immediately understand that there will be no easy conviction obtained in your case. Obviously track record plays into an attorney’s reputation, but one cannot obtain a track record without tangible experience. If you work with a respected, experienced attorney, it could improve your chances of securing a fair plea agreement depending on the facts of your situation.
Strategy of a Phoenix Criminal Defense Attorney
Perhaps no area of law is more filled with particularities and intricacies as criminal law in Arizona, and each phase of a case gives rise to the opportunity to implement strategies that could help you move towards a resolution. However, these ‘tricks of the trade’ must be done in a timely fashion for the most part and they must comply with both the laws that govern the situation and ethical rules that govern all attorneys, including the prosecutors working on your case. Strategy is an enormous consideration, and strategic decisions are mostly better made with experience helping formulate them.
Overall, if you face a criminal prosecution, every moment matters. You must secure the help you need to move through this situation.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

They knew exactly how to explain the case to me in a way that I would understand it. They gave me hope that my life wasn’t over.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

My review is for Kathy Hudson a legal assistant at the law firm. She is great! She is very professional and a fair based person. She was never rude to me and always called me back. She listened to me and had my best interest as number 1. Mr Nasir who is a supervisor at law firm also was very professional and helpful. Not sure if spelling his name correctly but sorry if not. As far as mr Ross and the lady that runs the front desk reception I would say they are the most unprofessional and rude people I have met at a law firm in my life especially beings they were representing me. But Kathy made it overall a better experience. Thx Kathy.

Juan Roque has been integral with my legal needs. Communication has been easy. He conveys information I can easily understand without a lot of "Legal Fluff" jargon. I will certainly do business with Phillips Legal team again and refer them to my friends and family.
