Empowering Justice & Defending Your Rights
Dworman Law
EXPERIENCE MATTERS
Drug Possession
Arizona aggressively penalizes those in possession of illicit drugs or other controlled substances. In some circumstances, charges may be filed even if the individual did not physically have the drug on their person – officers only need to believe that the person simply knew or should have known about the drugs.
Knowing Your Rights
If you are stopped or arrested for any crime, including DUI/DWI, the best way to avoid a conviction is to know and to assert your rights. Police, prosecutors, and other Government officers will take advantage to secure your conviction when you do not assert your rights. Don’t let this happen!
Gun Crimes
Though Arizona’s gun laws are less restrictive than other states, most firearm offenses are felonies in Arizona, with severe potential penalties that include prison terms, probation, and fines. Even non-violent activities like unlawful gun possession can lead to serious consequences.
Homicide
A homicide happens when one person deprives another of their life. The right to life is considered as one of the most basic human rights, which is why the Arizona legal system reserves the most severe penalties and punishments for those who commit this crime.
Assault

Self-Defense
Assaulting another person is prohibited under Arizona law. However, physical force may be justified in certain circumstances, such as self-defense and crime prevention. If you’ve acted in self-defense and have been charged with a crime, you should retain a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
DUI
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is a common offense, and many people don’t realize how serious the penalties can be. Arizona has some of the toughest DUI laws and the most aggressive DUI law enforcement. A jail sentence for intoxicated driving in Arizona can be as long as six months, with fines as steep as several thousand dollars.
Domestic Violence

Sex Crimes
In the state of Arizona, sex crimes are some of the most severely punished crimes. Even offenses that don’t involve bodily injury or harm can get up to 1.5 years of jail time. A conviction may also mean getting lifetime probation and mandatory registration as a sex offender.
Probation

A person is “rehabilitated,” when they accept responsibility for their action(s), understand and agree their inappropriate behavior(s) caused them to be placed on probation, and proactively correct their behavior(s) and cognitive process to show conformity with society’s “norm.”
