I currently have hired her as my lawyer and I hear really great things about her!! I am excited to see what the outcome of my case will be but based on all of the reviews I plunged and hired her! When I called looking for a lawyer she was very prompt and she was quick to go over what we should do and etc. she is very straight to the point and gets straight down to business. She is on top of her stuff and am really proud to call her my lawyer. I looked around at first with other lawyers but they are not it!!! She is !! She has AMAZING reviews and she has done everything efficiently so far with my case and I’m very satisfied.

I would highly recommend giving your trust to this firm and specifically Arja Shah. She personally handles your case. She is thorough, direct, and realistic. She will not to over sell you to retain you as client. She delivers on her word.

I’m speechless. I am so grateful and thankful that I found Shah Law Firm. Arja Shah fought for me and gave me my life back. She’s professional and to the point. I was fighting an Armed Robbery case and it didn’t look good for me. I truly believe that without Arja the outcome wouldn’t have been as great for me. We fought for months and before moving forward to trial she managed to present all of the exculpatory evidence that we had on my behalf as well as the mitigating circumstances and complete turn around of my life and here I am a free man. Just do what she asks of you, don’t sweat her and rest assured that your in the best hands you possibly could be with Arja Shah in your corner. Nothing I could ever do or say could express my gratitude. Don’t think twice, hire her.

I can't thanks Mrs. Shah enough for helping me with my case! I am positive that if I tried to defend myself, it would have not gone the way it did... She was able to get my charges reduced to basically a slap on the wrist... I am forever grateful thank u again!

Arja was very professional and got me the best result for my case.

Obviously my name is not John Doe; I'm using that for privacy reasons because my case isn't quite yet shut and I'd rather not have my name publicly connected to my case (or at least minimize how public it is). The Suzuki Law firm was awesome in my case. My sister and I got into an argument online around October of last year, and some things happened that led to her reporting me to the police and I ended up getting arrested on 3 misdemeanor charges; Mr. Richard Smith handled my case and he got me down from a $2800 fee and 18 months jail to just some counseling and community service and a $280 fee, only a TENTH of what I initially would have had to pay, and case dismissed with prejudice, assuming everything is successfully met within the next six months (forgive me Mr. Smith if there was more than that you negotiated for me or if it is incorrect; as far as I'm aware, that is what it was). They gave me a payment price that I was able to follow through with when I hired them, and I will be forever grateful for the hard work that was put in and kept me out of jail; I'll be able to get this out of the way quickly and put it behind me and move on with my life. If you need attorneys that know their stuff and can help you out, I strongly recommend Suzuki Law!

I am an out of state client. I needed to find legal services for an emergency. Suzuki Law Offices was recommended buy a trusted adviser. From the first phone call to managing through and finally resolving my needs, Suzuki was pleasant, punctual and got the results I needed. Great Job Suzuki team!!

I contacted Suzuki Law Offices when a relative got into a situation which landed them in jail. I called on a Sat. and spoke to William, who was more than willing to inform me of the legal ramifications of the situation and the costs associated with legal representation by his firm. I took the weekend to take it all in. I called on Monday and signed and paid for a jail visit agreement. On Tuesday the state appointed lawyer called me. I really liked her and decided to let her be the legal counsel for my relative. I called William and to my surprise his firm gave me a full refund, even though he and I had communicated quite a bit and I had even spoken with one of the attorneys. He even told me if I have any questions, concerns, or need a document reviewed, feel free to call. They are here to help! I was very impressed and will definitely keep them in mind if the need for legal counsel/representation ever arises. A law firm that cares more about you than the almighty dollar - how refreshing!!! Thank you for your kindness. It is greatly appreciated. vw

I appreciate everything that Richard Suzuki and Dennis O'Berry did for me on my auto accident case. They fought for me and I appreciate everything they did. I am very pleased with what they got me. I recommend going with Suzuki.

The amazing responsiveness, knowledge, professionalism, guidance, understanding, positivity and overall client support that I received from Mr. Richard Suzuki and his team with a very difficult legal situation was outstanding. If I ever was in need of an attorney again he would be the first one I would call. I would not hesitate to refer any friend or family member to him as well for I know that they would be taken care of. If you are looking for an attorney an want the very best you will get it with Mr. Suzuki and his team.

I was very pleased with their services, this law firm helped with my son in law and my daughter. Both were released quickly and taken care of quickly. I really appreciate their service and patience with me because I was always so nervous. They exceeded my expectations and I feel blessed and so thankful.

The services requested were provide with no issues, professional people very attentive when I called. I would recommend and use in the future.

The very worst experience ever. No contact no follow-through no nothing. Victor states he’s an attorney but he’s not. Confirmed with the state bar. They took my $3500 and did absolutely nothing didn’t even notify me that I was going to get charges filed on me.I received a letter from the state with charges and had to call Mr.Knowles Who is too busy to talk to his client. No call back had a call back two days later. Had to contact the state bar for resolution. Still pending resolution. I did hire a much more professional attorney who also confirmed Mr. Knowles is not the right attorney for me. Seriously check the reviews online you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.

After my accident Knowles law firm took care of all the injury stuff in the background and I didn't have to think about it too much. They kept me in the loop when there were updates and I got a decent payout of for my misfortune.

So I owe Tony my life ...because of him I got to walk out of the court room with probation and I owe it all to the Knowles law firm ...I don't know what you did or how you did it but thank you ...I won't let you guys down or my kids ...I got a Second chance because of Tony thanks again

Sorry to hear that his business closed but glad that he is still in the valley doing what he does best. Thank you Mr Lackey for continuing to be a voice for the community.

Timely, kind, patient. Excellent defense. My case was dismissed.

I was fortunately able to hire Cary Lackey after months of being stuck with a public defender who had done no work on my complicated case. The legal system can be terrifying and confusing to navigate and you need an advocate like Mr. Lackey who will listen and treat you with respect and like a human being. Once Mr. Lackey took my case, he got busy immediately doing what should have been filed on my case from the beginning. He worked diligently, answered all questions that I and my family had promptly, and was very knowledgable about criminal law. I felt defended during court appearances which alleviated the stress of going to court. His rates are reasonable and clear up front, and he puts in the work to get you the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him!

Mr. Lackey is a competent and skilled attorney. He devoted a generous amount of his time and effort to meeting repeatedly with the prosecutor of my case, putting in several motions and eventually bargaining my case down until my charges were dismissed entirely. I was completely satisfied with his representation and I would certainly recommend him for his consummate expertise and professionalism.

Cary Lacky is an excellent attorney ! He represented me on a harassment case in Mesa. Trial lasted 3 hours, of which he put on an exceptional defense. The result was Not Guilty ! If you need a criminal attorney, you will not go wrong in hiring Mr. Lackey. Put your trust in him, & he will work hard. He will restore your faith in attorneys & the legal system.

Woody and Jay are not only dedicated and professional, they are reliable, honest and help you navigate difficult times. I’ve used them twice and both times they have helped me weather the storm and provide what I feel is the best possible outcome.

Jay is the best. I have used a few different law firms in the past and these guys are top notch. A few of my friends have used jay and woody in the past and have had nothing but great things to say about their experiences with them. My friends have referenced jay by the nickname G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) and i get why now. He got 6 of my 7 charges dropped and was there every step along the way. For the quality of work you get he is totally worth it. Personally i think he is underpriced for what he could be charging. If you ever have a run in with Johnny Law you want these guys representing you.

Jay Volquardson represented me. He was very professional, very responsive to phone calls, emails and any questions or concerns. I have never experienced that kind of availability from a lawyer before. He always responded as if he had nothing else going on, which I know wasn't the case....He just gave his undivided attention to me as a client. Jay was straight forward and honest with me, no reading between the lines. Jay is very respectful, professional, dedicated, good humored, likable, and competent. I highly recommend him, and if needed would use him again. Thank you Jay

I've been practicing law for over 20 years in a different field of law. For the past nine years I have referred all criminal cases to this firm because they are the best. These lawyers are experienced, honest and hard-working. They are bright and care about their clients. Their rates are fair. I fully recommend them to you.

I have previously worked with 5 business lawyers but only one I recommended is Mr. Thompson . I hired last year Mr. Thompson to write a contract and negotiate an agreement for me. I continue to use him for corporate matters. Mr. Thompson is an important part of my business advisory team.

Aaron really helped throughout my DUI case. He walked me through the entire process, was always great about getting back to me with any questions I had, and he was diligent about going over all the evidence to find anything that would help my case. After a careful study of the videos of my arrest, he was able to argue down my extreme DUI to a regular DUI, resulting in lower fines, less time with an interlock, less jail time. Awesome attorney!

Thank you for all your hard work and getting my DUI charge dropped before the trial! Aaron was always available by text or phone whenever I had a question. He was very thorough and detailed with his explanations during the many steps of the legal process. For our pre-trial hearing, Aaron hired a great expert witness and was relentless with the prosecutor, objecting to many of the statements and questions he was posing. We had a plea deal on the table for reckless driving from day 1, and somehow Aaron worked his magic to get the case completely dismissed. Not even the plea deal! Thank you so much for keeping my record clean, I am forever grateful.

Aaron black is sharp and highly efficient. He was very quick to reply to my e-mails, which was really reassuring. At our first meeting, I was impressed by how attentive and patient he was when I told him the injustice inflicted on me. I will always remember the fact that he took extensive notes and the way he did it, in part because my first divorce attorney whom I fired, did nothing comparable. The fact that the charge my soon-to-be ex pressed against me was the result of his chilling false allegations about an violent event he instigated and of his use of my nine year old daughter to conceal his violence and frame me does not make my case easy. Nor does it necessarily mean I was to be treated with justice. However, in retrospect, Aaron Black got me the deal, a pre plea diversion at a lightning speed. The reality is that within a month or so after my first meeting with Aaron in late February and my subsequent hiring of him, he got the above-noted deal. Prior to obtainment of the deal, Aaron succinctly pointed out the inconsistencies in a police report concerning my ex-to-be’s allegations and conveyed his professional opinions about the charge against me. That is to say, the charge against me should be dismissed without any conviction. I have already got the official order of dismissal. I believe it is his rational thinking and professional experience that helped me clear myself of false allegations. If you are looking for a highly capable and understanding attorney who will shield you from injustice, I strongly recommend you to work with Aaron Black!! Life becomes a lot easier and, in my opinion, will always get better with nice people around us!! Take care !

I was arrested for a DUI and had absolutely no idea what to do, who to call, and how to react. I read review after review, ask around for some references, and was completely overwhelmed with the process - I had a few consultations and finally reached out to Aaron on a Saturday fully expecting to leave a message and hear back on Monday. Aaron called me back that day and spent an hour of his weekend talking me through the typical process, potential outcomes, getting familiar with my specific situation, and helping me to set expectations for how long the process would take, what his plan would be, and what my worst case situation would be. Needless to say, I was completely overwhelmed by the whole DUI situation, especially being that I am not a resident of AZ (Chicago, IL right here) and that only complicated my situation even further. Beyond preparing me for court, helping to set me up with counseling, Aaron constantly communicated with me throughout the whole process, fought for me, and was ultimately able to secure a significantly reduced charge / plea versus my original charges (Extreme DUI down to DUI in the Slightest). Aaron was fantastic throughout the entire process, and I cannot recommend him enough. He is persistent, dedicated, incredibly knowledgeable, sincere, and sympathetic. I hope and pray that once was enough, but if I were to ever be so unfortunate to find myself in this situation again, Aaron will be my first and only call.

I was originally referred to Aaron By a friend of mine that was in a Boating DUI and he told me that Aaron was extremely responsive and always answered his text or calls within a timely manner and that he also got his sentence reduced greatly. Im so thankful that I reached out to Aaron and had him as my Attorney during my Marijuana DUI. He explained everything to me very thoroughly and was straight up about how the process and court works with these situations. All in all my sentence was reduced and I did not receive a DUI and my license was never suspended. Not even for a day. No jail. No interlock. I am very grateful for Aaron and his services and I would definitely use him if needed in the future!! If you are looking for an attorney that will give you their undivided attention and help you directly this is the right guy!

    Aaron really helped throughout my DUI case. He walked me through the entire process, was always great about getting back to me with any questions I had, and he was diligent about going over all the evidence to find anything that would help my case. After a careful study of the videos of my arrest, he was able to argue down my extreme DUI to a regular DUI, resulting in lower fines, less time with an interlock, less jail time. Awesome attorney!

David Black is the BEST attorney. I had a couple really old criminal charges. He was able to get me unsupervised probation when I should of got jail time. He was always responsive and answered any questions I had. He was very professional and handled everything! It was such a stress lifted off my shoulders. Thank you for everything David!

I recommend the services of Law offices of David A. Black. Very professional and responsive. Whole team was amazing and patient. Thank you all!

David's performance was top notch. From communications during Covid lockdown, to conference calls and quick emails, he and his team were very thorough and straight-forward about all the issues we were dealing with. David did an amazing job explaining the legal issues, both worst and best case outcomes, and how he was going to approach the case. David's knowledge of the Phoenix legal environment and willingness to engage makes him very effective. Thanks to David, our outcome was BEST-case!! I would highly recommend David Black.

UPDATE: My previous review was not to destroy or damage this business. I was simply being honest about the series of events. While I am bothered it took a review for someone to call me back, I do greatly appreciate it. Mr. Black was very helpful and listened to what I had to say. He was very down to earth and made everything easy to understand. He even provided retainer information.

I called quite a few attorney offices and I’m so glad I chose David. From the get go, he was extremely warm and understanding. He explained the process step by step and was always available to answer any questions. I never once felt as though David was only in it for the money-he made me feel like he truly cared about the outcome of my case. Fingers crossed I will never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I’ll be calling David. 1000% recommend.

I feel so fortunate to have found this law firm to represent my case. Everyone at this firm is so professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

He always responds in a quick and timely manner whenever I have questions and makes me feel like he truly cares. I’m so grateful for this team. 100% would recommend this law firm to anyone.

They are truly caring people.

I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm, and none other. This is who you go to for success.. PERIOD.

There is nothing comfortable about putting down a chunk of money knowing that there is no way to know the outcome of your case. However, the reasonable retainer, is the comfort of knowing that you don't have to deal with the intricacies of the case until court time. Lacey who took over my case, was more than professional and maintained an open line of communication. The Saldivar group came as a referral for a consult at first, and I'm glad I remained as a client with the firm and Lacey as my legal representation. Not sure what your are expecting, but the system is what it is, and lawyers are simply needed sometimes to take the day to day thinking off your mind. I did not feel like I was taken for a retainer ride like I have in the past from other firms. My experience was reasonable. I hope yours is as well. At least pay for the consultation at first to see if it is a good fit. If not, go somewhere else. I can't speak for the other lawyers at the firm but Lacey was top notch.

First attorney to contact me when I was reaching out for help for a difficult situation. Jose and his team helped me through one of the hardest events of my life and did it so effortlessly. Thank you so much! Your work does not go unnoticed!

After looking at other reviews I know I am not the only one that feels like my money was not well spent. I would love a refund. I hired this firm to help me through the process side by side as a team yet never felt that. The lack of communication was frustrating majority of the time I never got solid answers on my questions and concerns. I felt like I was not in the loop. When I finally had enough and scheduled a meeting to talk with someone they were 30 minutes late to the call. Which they thought was not a big deal. Professionally that in itself is not okay. However, perfect example of my entire experience with them. As I voiced my experience I kept getting interrupted and throughout the conversation it felt like I was told my opinion was invalid. Luckily my case was dismissed on its own from lack of evidence which they want to take credit for the result. The end result would have occurred on its own with or without them representing me.

Wonderful experience. Knowledgeable and responsive! Jose and his staff were helpful and responsive to all our questions and concerns. It was our first time hiring an attorney and was with us every step of the way. He was tough when needed.

I have absolutely no complaints... ????????... Good work...
