In today's "tough on crime" political climate the criminal justice system is often an unfair system - issuing as much punishment as possible as often as possible. Under the current system many innocent people get abused by the system and those that do commit criminal acts are often over charged and over punished. Mandatory sentencing laws tie judges' hands, giving prosecuting attorneys too much power. As a result, many people have been given lengthy prison or unreasonable jail sentences, even for non-violent or less serious offenses, while others receive undeserved criminal convictions. An experienced Arizona criminal defense lawyer can mean the difference between getting run over by the system or ensuring that your rights are protected and the system works for you.

Arizona Criminal Defense Attorney in Scottsdale

Many lawyers in the Scottsdale - Phoenix area dabble in the Criminal Defense arena, while focusing on a large load of civil, divorce and other types of cases. They believe that Arizona Criminal Defense is simple. Unfortunately, handling civil matters can be entirely different from handling Criminal Defense cases. Your attorney should understand the criminal system. Under Arizona law and procedure, criminal cases are governed by a completely separate set of procedural rules than any civil case. The issues are entirely different than in any divorce case or contractual dispute, since every criminal defense case deals with your fundamental constitutional rights. And in many cases, including Superior Court cases charged in the Phoenix area, a separate set of judges handle criminal cases. If you are accused of a criminal act it is important to get representation from a defense lawyer who stays current in the legal issues of criminal defense, and is experienced in and familiar with the criminal courts and prosecuting agencies of Arizona and the Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale area.

Mr. Borrelli understands some cases should not go to trial and his experience as a criminal defense attorney includes effectively negotiating with Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale area prosecutors for reasonable resolutions of cases with the least possible punishment to his clients

As a lawyer practicing criminal and DUI defense, Mr. Borrelli's first goal is to make sure that his clients' constitutional rights are protected and the burden to his clients is minimized. The first line of defense used by a criminal attorney in many criminal and DUI cases is the filing of motions to suppress evidence. If the Police or prosecuting attorney violated his clients' rights in any way while collecting evidence, Mr. Borrelli will fight to suppress that evidence and when successful, this may lead to dismissal of the criminal or DUI charges. The government must follow the rules, no matter what the charge. This is the foundation of liberty.
