Protecting Your Constitutional Rights | Tucson Criminal Defense Attorney
The United States Constitution is the foundation of our democracy. It provides countless rights for those accused of crimes and imposes limits on the actions of our government.
The foundation of my legal practice is to protect my client's rights and to work aggressively to ensure the government is not overstepping its authority. As an experienced Tucson criminal defense lawyer, I believe that every person charged with a crime deserves a comprehensive representation.
If you have been charged with a crime — anything from DUI to another state or federal offense — I can help protect your rights.
To discuss the facts of your case with an experienced Tucson criminal defense lawyer, contact my Arizona law firm, Steven D. West, P.C., or call my office at 520-468-6791, toll free at 866-603-9939, for a free initial consultation. From my office in Tucson, Arizona, I represent clients who have been charged with state or federal crimes.
Federal Criminal Defense
Although it is rare for a federal charge to go to trial, the possibility of a trial is important in giving the defense leverage in negotiations. As a federal criminal defense attorney, I have a reputation for being a strong litigator. I am not afraid to argue the weaknesses in the government's case as well as the strengths of my client's defense to a jury.
If you have been charged with a federal crime — from drug possession to sex crimes to smuggling — I can represent you. I represent clients at the U.S. District Court in Tucson and have handled appeals to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
State Criminal Defense
Whether you have been charged with a felony or a misdemeanor, you need the legal assistance of a qualified criminal defense attorney. I represent clients charged with a range of state-level crimes, including, but not limited to:
- Murder
- Arson
- Drug possession and/or distribution
- Rape
- Burglary
- Underage drinking
- Probation violation
With over 25 years of trial experience, I have a history of obtaining successful resolutions for my clients. No matter how serious the charges or how great the evidence against the client, I have found that there is always something that can be done to present your defense.
DUI/DWI Defense
The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution guarantees you the freedom from unreasonable searches and seizure of your person and property. Unfortunately, in the case of DUI arrests, these rights are routinely violated.
As an experienced DUI lawyer, I handle all types of drunk driving related cases, including underage DUI cases. I can ensure in every case I handle that I am working to ensure your constitutional rights are asserted and that a strong defense strategy is built for your case.
