Arizona’s Top Criminal Defense Attorneys

SERVING ALL OF ARIZONA

When hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you will need to discuss your legal options. Attorneys approach cases differently based on the specific facts of your situation as well as their own experience, skill, and education. When you hire Oliverson Law DUI & Criminal Defense you benefit from a former judge, police officer, and prosecutors applying their experience to your case.

If you or a loved one faces criminal charges, it is vital that you hire an experienced and aggressive Arizona criminal defense attorney immediately to ensure the best possible result. Once you retain representation, your lawyer will handle everything from routine paperwork to cross-examining witnesses in the courtroom. Your attorney can also lay out the best defense strategies for your case’s specific circumstances.

To bolster your case, your attorney may introduce evidence and interview witnesses, with the goal to create reasonable doubt that you committed any of the charged crimes. Your attorney may even present a self-defense argument if you are facing charges like assault, manslaughter, or murder, in which case you may argue that you had to use force to protect yourself.

I could not have found a better attorney. I will always say that Mr. Oliverson helped save my life.

Layer 1

 

During one of the most difficult times of my life, I experienced being charged with a felony while going through a divorce. Had I not hired Derek Oliverson to defend me, I am not sure where I would be today. Mr. Oliverson was patient and kind and during the legal process, he made sure that I understood the process and explained what was to come next. In my opinion, I could not have found a better attorney. I will always say that Mr. Oliverson helped save my life. My results were better than I could have ever wished for. “Thank you” does not even begin to express the gratitude and respect I have for the expertise and emotional support I received from Derek Oliverson.

Because Derek was so accessible, and quick to respond to my calls and emails, even after hours, and on weekends, my case was handled and resolved quickly. Derek’s knowledge of the legal system, and his background as a former judge is a definite advantage to his clients. He was thorough in providing supporting case law and documentation to prove our position. Derek has an imposing presence in court, and a terrific way of questioning difficult, hostile witnesses.

Thank you again to the team at Oliverson Law.

From the moment I called and spoke with Derek, I felt connected and relieved. He was very responsive and listened to my situation. After my dui arrest, I was worried and concerned about what may happen. The team took a lot of that stress into their hands away from me. They kept in contact with me throughout the process and if I had questions they were quick to respond. After a few court dates, Derek gave me a call personally to tell me that the prosecution had dropped all charges. It was an early Christmas present a few days before Christmas. Thank you again to the team at Oliverson Law.

Unfortunately recently I was arrested for a DUI and more unfortunately this was not my first DUI. I did a quick Google search and found Oliverson Law. I filled out the online information card and got a quick phone call back. After one conversation I felt very comfortable that this law group knew what they were doing so I decided to go with Oliverson Law represent me. During this process this law group was available through text email and phone calls 24 hours a day! Anytime I had a question I could send a text and it was answered quickly. When my court date was approaching their team called me and let me know how to prepare for my in person court date. When my day in court came I felt prepared, every member of the team was on the same page. I am very happy With my experience and the outcome of my court case. I definitely recommend this law firm to anyone who’s looking for great representation with quick communication.
