When charged with a criminal offense, I know just how helpless it can feel. Uncertain of where to turn to, who to trust, and overall at an utter loss, you need a trusted source to guide you through the criminal court system who genuinely is out to protect your freedom. You need me, Aaron Black.
 
Although the possible outcome of your case may seem bleak, bear in mind that each situation has its own set of circumstances, and with that comes defense opportunities tailored to fit your particular case.
 

Experience in the Courtroom Matters!

I have spent countless hours in the courtroom, argued over 55 jury trials, tried over 120 bench trials, and became a highly experienced litigator. My trial experience sharpened my litigation skills, giving me invaluable insight into the legal system.
 
Although my office is located in Phoenix, I represent clients in all Arizona justice, municipal, state, county, and federal courts.

Should I get a Public Defender for free?

 
Public Defenders are some of the best lawyers who know the courts well. I, too, was a public defender and benefited from the same training. However, Public defenders are overworked, and you will not receive personalized attention on your case because they have too many clients.
 
When you hire me, you get years of legal experience defending both felony and misdemeanor charges. Perhaps most importantly, you will receive my legal representation, not a paralegal or a junior lawyer.
 

Experience Outweighs the Cost of an Attorney

 
We've all heard horror stories from the legal trenches.

• My lawyer failed to show up at the preliminary hearing!
• The criminal defense attorney that I initially talked to disappeared into the abyss, and someone that I'm not familiar with showed up in the courtroom in their place. 
• My lawyer won't return my phone calls.

That list of failed legal representation can go on and on.
 
At the Law Office of Aaron Black, I represent each of my clients personally. Unlike many large law firms that work to acquire as many cases as possible at any given time, I represent a limited number of clients. You can expect individualized service from the Law Office of Aaron Black.
 
Not only will you get personal representation, but you will also get direct contact with me. Not a legal team, not an associate, me.
 
When you have questions, are nervous, need to talk, or you need to chat to ease your mind, you will have my cell number, and I'm available to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
 
Although not the cheapest criminal defense attorney in Phoenix, AZ, when your freedom is at stake, you need the truth about the potential outcome and someone with intimate  knowledge of the legal system and the experience to back it up. With your life's balance on the line, cost should not be your first criteria when choosing a criminal defense attorney in your burglary charges.
