Defending Misdemeanor and Felony Accusations

Arizona prosecutes criminal offenses with exceptional rigor. From routine misdemeanor charges to severe felony indictments, having skilled criminal defense lawyers on your side is critical to exposing procedural errors, unlawful police stops, and insufficient evidentiary foundations. The firm thoroughly scrutinizes incident reports, body camera footage, witness testimonies, and laboratory testing to craft multifaceted defense strategies. Representation covers a broad spectrum of criminal law matters throughout Maricopa County courts:

• Violent crime allegations including aggravated assault, battery, and robbery
• Drug offenses covering simple possession, distribution, manufacturing, and narcotics trafficking
• Property crimes including grand larceny, burglary, shoplifting, and criminal damage
• Domestic violence accusations, restraining order violations, and protective injunctions
• Weapons charges, disorderly conduct, and public order offenses
• Traffic citations, reckless driving charges, and driver license reinstatement proceedings

Aggressive DUI and DWI Defense

Arizona enforces some of the strictest drunk driving statutes in the United States, carrying mandatory jail sentences, substantial monetary fines, vehicle ignition interlock mandates, and license suspensions even for first-time offenders. The Law Office of Michael Eskander challenges drunk driving allegations from every angle. By questioning the legality of traffic stops, assessing the maintenance and calibration logs of breathalyzer machines, and scrutinizing blood testing protocols for potential laboratory contamination, attorney Eskander vigorously seeks dismissals or reductions of charges to non-DUI infractions.

Protecting Immigrants from Criminal Convictions

For foreign nationals, legal permanent residents, and non-immigrant visa holders, even a seemingly minor misdemeanor conviction can lead to catastrophic consequences, including mandatory immigration detention, visa revocation, and deportation under federal law. Attorney Michael Eskander holds substantial expertise in the intricate intersection of criminal litigation and federal immigration statutes. When you must find a lawyer who understands how criminal pleas impact your legal residency status, Michael Eskander works tirelessly to obtain charge reductions or diversion dispositions that prevent mandatory deportation or inadmissibility findings.
