There is an opportunity for you to fight your criminal case even before it goes to court. Prior to making an arrest or filing charges, local law enforcement agencies often investigate people suspected of committing an offense. This is the best time for someone under investigation to hire an attorney to conduct an independent investigation to take control and defend the case.
Drug crimes cover numerous acts, both misdemeanors and felonies, from simple possession to manufacturing for any illegal substance, including marijuana, heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines. There are over 30,000 drug arrests reported each year in Arizona. These offense are investigated extensively by law enforcement, prosecuted aggressively by the State or Federal government and often harshly sentenced by the Court.
Offers or presents, whether accepted or not, a forged instrument or one that contains false information. The most common written instrument is a bank check. Check forgery typically involves the endorsement or presentation of a forged check to a bank or check cashing business.

The law also encompasses any alteration of any document with the intent to defraud, whether falsely signing another's name to a credit card application, using a false name in order to obtain employment or changing any other material fact of a document.This crime is rigorously prosecuted in Arizona.
The crime of fraud is a general term that covers a wide range of offenses involving dishonesty - intentionally misrepresenting a fact to another person and causing that person a financial loss, since that person relied on that misrepresented fact. The fact must be a substantial misrepresentation affecting the other person's decision making process.
The juvenile court system deals with crimes committed by children, those less than eighteen years of age. Arizona deals with children in quite a different way than the way the court system treats adults. Generally, the focus is more on rehabilitation than punishment. In some cases, however, older juveniles who commit more serious crimes will be charged as adults and tried in the adult criminal courts.

Unfortunately received a DUI while in Arizona. Robert was very helpful and informative, being that I am from Florida I did not know how to apporoach this situation. Robert was very reassuring and made this process way smoother than I ever thought it could be.

I have prior convictions so when I got arrested, I knew I didn't have much wiggle room with the courts. I found Robert online and liked what I read about him so I decided to reach out to him and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. When I first met him, he reminded me of Matlock, he was either going to be a superstar or a super dud! He turned out to be more than a superstar in so many ways! His knowledge and his experiences enabled us to get a better deal than I anticipated. Very kind, considerate and easy to work with. I was never left wondering or confused during the whole process.

I hired Mr. Dodell to restore my 2nd amendment right. I had a charge from 17 years ago that was preventing me from obtaining my gun rights. We talked about the situation and within a few days he had the paperwork ready to go. He informed me it would take around 2 months to get an answer and sure enough he was able to get my rights restored for me. I’m very happy with the hard work he put in for me. Thank you

Robert majorly saved my bacon. He genuinely cares about you, as a person. He worked with me on payment, and kept me updated through the entire process. I had to wait just short of a year to get my conviction and even then, whenever he had any information, I was updated. He always answers his phone, or if you leave a VM, he gets back to you in a timely manner. He doesn't leave you hanging. I would recommend him to ANYONE. Heck, I told my driving class about my experience, and they said they wished they had hired him instead of their lawyers haha I would come back to him in a heartbeat, even just

Robert was the most professional, caring, and concerned attorney I've ever met. He always kept communication going very well, he was always there to answer questions and made me feel as if I had someone on my side, even if I was in the wrong...He assured me prior to my court dates that he had everything covered and that immediately put me at ease. I never felt lost in the process, ever! If you need a truly caring, genuine guy who knows what he's doing....give Robert Dodell a call...seriously!

Robert was very helpful during my case. He was able to refer me to resources that ultimately helped resolve my case with the best ending circumstances considering my charges. He consulted with me frequently and explained in detail what I should expect during the process. I am grateful for all his help during a difficult time in my life.
