Mesa Criminal Defense Attorney

Mesa runs one of the largest municipal criminal dockets in the state, and its city prosecutors are known for charging aggressively on DUI and domestic violence before defense counsel is ever involved. Felonies from Mesa arrests do not stay in Mesa — they are transferred to the Southeast Regional facility on Javelina Avenue, where a different set of judges and a different calendar apply. Getting into the case before the first Superior Court settlement conference is what usually determines whether a Mesa felony resolves as a designated misdemeanor.

If you have been arrested in Mesa or charged in Maricopa County, the fastest way to protect yourself is a free, confidential call — 24 hours a day, at 623-335-4014.

For background on Arizona's court structure, see the Arizona Judicial Branch.

The Mesa Police Department makes most arrests in the city and operates its own DUI van and dedicated impaired-driving squad. Arizona DPS handles freeway stops, and Gila River and Salt River tribal jurisdictions border the city on two sides — an arrest just past the boundary can pull a case into federal or tribal court entirely.

US-60 (Superstition Freeway), Loop 202 Red Mountain, Loop 101 at the west edge of the city, Main Street and Power Road are Mesa's highest-volume DUI stop corridors.

Charges we defend for Mesa clients include Mesa DUI defense, Mesa drug crime defense, Mesa felony and misdemeanor defense, and federal criminal defense for Mesa residents.
