PRACTICES EXCLUSIVELY IN THE AREA OF CRIMINAL LAW
Criminal law is an expansive always-evolving area of law. My expertise in criminal law enables me to identify issues and potential defenses in your case. My knowledge of the law enables me to recognize instances in your case where your rights protected under the Constitution and State Law may have been violated resulting in the exclusion of evidence (including statements you have provided) seized by the state of Arizona.
Every jurisdiction and every courthouse has its own way of doing things. Melinda has represented clients in courts in Federal Court in the District of Arizona (Phoenix & Tucson), Superior Courts in the counties of Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Yavapai, and Coconino; and City and Municipal Courts in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Glendale, Mesa, Gilbert, Avondale, Tolleson, Buckeye, Apache Junction.
