The legal team approaches every defense with one mindset: if there is a legal exit or evidentiary weakness in the state's case, they will find it.

Comprehensive Defense for Misdemeanor and Felony Charges

Arizona statutes impose rigorous penalties for criminal convictions, making early intervention by a skilled defense attorney essential. Whether negotiating dismissals with prosecutors or defending clients before a jury, the firm provides exhaustive representation across a broad spectrum of criminal defense matters, including:

• DUI and aggravated DUI charges, including extreme DUI, super extreme DUI, drug-related driving impairment, and Motor Vehicle Division driver license suspension hearings
• Drug crime defense involving alleged possession of narcotics, marijuana distribution, prescription fraud, and interstate drug trafficking
• Domestic violence accusations, emergency protective orders, restraining order violations, and related misdemeanor and felony offenses
• Violent crime defense against charges of simple assault, aggravated assault, weapons offenses, robbery, and manslaughter or homicide
• Theft and burglary defense encompassing shoplifting, grand larceny, auto theft, identity fraud, and white collar financial offenses
• Post-conviction relief, probation violation hearings, and comprehensive criminal appeals in Arizona state and appellate courts

Board-Certified Legal Specialization and Appellate Mastery

Unlike general practitioners, the attorneys at The Nolan Law Firm dedicate their careers exclusively to criminal defense and post-conviction litigation. Todd Nolan is recognized as a Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist by the State Bar of Arizona Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction achieved by only a small fraction of Arizona attorneys. Furthermore, appellate partner Cari McConeghy Nolan previously served as a Unit Chief in the Criminal Appeals Section of the Arizona Attorney General's Office, providing the firm with unique insight into how prosecutors build their cases.

This combination of courtroom trial ability and appellate acumen ensures that every client receives a strategic defense from the initial arraignment through potential post-trial remedies. The attorneys conduct comprehensive reviews of police body cameras, breathalyzers, and witness statements to expose constitutional violations.

Immediate 24/7 Legal Guidance When You Need It Most

An arrest rarely occurs during convenient business hours, and the actions taken during the first twenty-four hours after contact with law enforcement can determine the entire course of a criminal case. The Nolan Law Firm offers around-the-clock availability, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring that clients can reach seasoned legal counsel the moment an investigation or arrest begins.

If you need to hire a criminal defense lawyer or urgently seek to find a dui defense attorney in Mesa, do not make statements to police investigators without legal counsel present. The Nolan Law Firm provides a free initial case evaluation and transparent payment arrangements, helping you take decisive control of your defense and safeguard your liberties.
