Do You Need a Tucson Domestic Violence Attorney?

Defense Solutions Based on Your Unique Needs

In most cases, the decision to arrest a person is based on who called the police. When faced with no independent witnesses, little to no evidence, and department policy that requires officers to make an arrest under certain circumstances, a lot of innocent citizens get wrongfully accused.

This is especially true with domestic violence offenses, which are often based on “he said, she said” arguments, can be made because of hearsay, or may be used to gain unfair advantages in custody or other family law matters.

We take your rights and freedom seriously. Call (520) 467-5100 now to get the legal help you need.
