Tucson Criminal Defense Attorney

Tucson is a different legal environment from Maricopa County. Cases run through the Pima County Attorney's Office, which has its own charging policies and diversion programs, and the city's proximity to the border means a much higher share of drug and immigration-related matters end up in federal court at the Evo A. DeConcini U.S. Courthouse rather than in state court. Interstate 10 and Interstate 19 traffic stops, Border Patrol checkpoint encounters and highway interdiction cases dominate the Tucson drug docket.

If you have been arrested in Tucson or charged in Pima 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.

Tucson Police Department and the Pima County Sheriff's Department handle local arrests, while Arizona DPS, U.S. Border Patrol and DEA drive the highway and checkpoint cases that become federal prosecutions.

I-10 through the city, I-19 south toward Nogales, Speedway Boulevard, Grant Road and the Fourth Avenue district account for most Tucson DUI and interdiction stops.
