Gilmore Bernard was assigned to my case replacing my first public defender at first I felt good about him I had faith he would get everything solved but I was wrong. Just like the first public defender he never called me or answered my emails kept on asking for continuances despite me telling him I d idnt want that, on 10/15/24 I was supposed to have my trial and without informing me of anything they changed it to a status conference where they decided to "add another charge for disorderly conduct" after a whole year had gone by with continuances i was never ok with or requested they all of a sudden decided to add a charge Gill did absolutely nothing about it even tho I told him NO IM NOT ACCEPTING ANOTHER BOGUS CHARGE. Gill also stated that he wasnt there to prove my innocence.. its very unfortunate that this dirty conduct exists in our justice system, we have judges who turn a blind eye and are aware that attorneys are working against their own clients to favor prosecution and choose to ruin peoples lives instead of upholding the law. NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW

I would have to say Mr Gilmore is a very professional and respectful individual. He was assigned to me by the courts on a matter and he went on and beyond. State wanted me to do 6 years thru Mr Gilmore s due diligence and his experience got it dismissed. He would fight for you and advise you on the b est course of action. The state was not letting up we went as far as down as 2.5 that they offered me but as i stated he took it as far as willing to go to higher court or Supreme Court if necessary. Yet his experience and knowledge of the law was able to find negligence delay of prosecution and prejudice against me and made the courts aware of DAs shorts comings. So if u need a lawyer go with Mr benard

I cannot express how grateful I am for Gill's help! In September, I was falsely accused and arrested on aggravated assault charges, but Gill has been so supportive throughout the whole ordeal. Today, I received the news that the state is dropping the case against me, and I am overjoyed! Due to these false allegations, I lost my job and my home. However, Gill believed in me and worked hard to present my side of the story. I sincerely thank you, Gillmore, and may you have a long, successful career and life. God bless you!

Gillmore was wonderful to have as my lawyer! He successfully defended me against false charges! :) He is perfectly professional and yet down to earth! Highly recommended!! :)

About a month ago, I was convicted and charged with criminal damage, underage consumption of alcohol, and possession of a fraudulent (fake) ID card. Mr. Crews from the start was very supportive and helpful with everything I needed. He made me feel very hopeful about the case, despite how nervous and worried I was. Mr. Crews also responds back to my emails and texts back very quickly with detailed responses in which give me a lot of aid and clarification regarding the circumstances of my legal issues. Mr. Crews operates a small law firm and he gets most of his clients from other very reputable attorneys across the country. This is actually how I was referred to Ted. I was referred to him by one of the best lawyers in the Colorado-Denver-Boulder area in which he said I would use Mr. Crews if this was my kid in this situation. As he was talking to my mother. Mr. Crews was able to negotiate a diversion offer with the prosecutor which means all the charges were dropped in exchange for me paying restitution and completing a Behavioral program in Phoenix. I strongly recommend anyone who has some legal issues (criminal charges to be more specific) to get in touch with Ted. He offers free consultations as well and you will not be disappointed with the prices he offers for service.

We hired Mr. Crews to help with our relative's driver's license issues. We were told by other attorney's that after court, our nephew would lose his license for at least a year. We were told by others that it would take four months to get to the final court date. We called Mr. Crews for an app ointment and he met with us later that day. The next day he had my nephew in court, spent about three hours with him, the prosecutor, the judge and MVD. By the end of the day, our nephew had his license back. Mr. Crew's fees were reasonable, especially in light of the fact that he basically had to hold our nephew's hand for hours. Although this case was small to most attorneys, and I am sure to Mr. Crews, Mr. Crews appeared to care throughout the process and ensured every part of it was handled properly. Our nephew came home that night and could not stop talking about how Mr. Crews just moved mountains. All other attorney's in that building were telling him that it could not be done: he did it. I hope I never have to hire an attorney again, if I do, I will hire Mr. Crews.

I posed a question on AVVO about my current situation. Mr Crews responded quickly and then called me the next day to give me direction and insight. Helped reduce the stress of the situation. He took time to review the situation, answer my questions and give additional guidance.And although he could n ot directly help me he forwarded my info to another lawyer who could. Again, great person. Great advice. We need more people like Mr Crews!

It should be presumed that cases are won or lost based on the quality of your attorney. Mr. Crews is of exceptional value to anyone looking to hire an attorney. His work habits a huge indicator of his competence. He returned my phone calls, emails and met all of my deadlines. While I could sing his p raises in regard to logistical issues related to my case, what I was utterly in awe of was his dedication to me as a person and the investment he made getting to know me and truly being my advocate. He persevered on my behalf and didn't give in. He truly was an honorable advocate and was not afraid to stick his neck out for me. He had insight, courage, and forward-thinking views. He was not afraid to ask the difficult or uncomfortable questions and build consensus.be humble, not proud. It is my experience that too many attorney are battle-scarred or burned out. Mr. Crews exhibited none of that and seemed to have a thick skin when I couldn't have one of my own, took criticism on my behalf, and taught me that I could trust someone to take blows for me when I desperately needed an ally. When he represented me, I always felt he kept everything in perspective, that he had a passion for his profession and focused on why he was by my side. There is such a toxic nature when it comes to defending oneself. Mr. Crews had a warmth about him and he seemed to genuinely be an ardent defender. He was preemptive, prepared, and committed to obtaining a positive outcome to my case. I don't know that there are enough words to fully articulate how unbelievably dedicated he was to my case. I would never recommend going into the court room without Mr. Crews by your side.

I got a parking ticket in the mail. It was for the car that my ex got in the divorce. I wasn't sure if it was worth the hassle of fighting it even though I was innocent. I explained the situation to Mr. Crews. He listened to me and quickly went into action. He filed a motion to dismiss and provi ded all of the documentation to the Court. After a contested hearing and testimony from the officer, Mr. Crews was able to get my case dismissed and no points on my license. I'm sure Mr. Crews had many more important cases than mine. But he took the time to take care of me and my case. I highly recommend Mr. Crews if you need a honest, reliable lawyer to make your legal problems go away.

Attorney Jason Karpel was my attorney for two alleged assaults charges in Phoenix. AZ. This happened during a very difficult time in my life. Mr. Karpel treated me like a brother. He eased my stress during the entire process. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable of AZ law, second to none. His diligence, hard work, dedication, highly educated experience played a big part in my two assault charges being dropped. If you are looking for an exceptional, dedicated defense attorney, please look no further. I give attorney Jason Karpel 5 stars.

If you’re dealing with a criminal or DUI charge in Arizona, Jason Karpel is the guy you want. He’s super sharp, thinks strategically, and cuts straight to the point. Always on top of things, responds fast, and goes all out to win. My case was dismissed, making a stressful mess feel manageable. Make t he call.

George · May 2026

From start to finish I felt like part of the DM Cantor family, And they all treated my case with the utmost attention to detail and professionalism. Jason Karpel was always positive, optimistic, and clearly guided me through the whole case. I would HIGHLY recommend Jason and the entire DM Cantor team without a second thought!

Rude don’t book with him , from the moment I checking in receptionist was horrible and the consultation with him was one of the worst ones I will never come back or recommend him

Patrick · litigation · May 2026

Jason is in a league of his own. From the very beginning, he brought a level of confidence and clarity to my case that immediately put me at ease during one of the hardest times in my life. He is sharp, strategic, and incredibly thorough. Jason doesn’t just represent you, he builds a plan, anticip ates every angle, and makes sure you’re fully prepared for what’s ahead. He communicates clearly, stands firm, and never backs down when it matters most. If you really want to win, and want the number one attorney in Arizona, if not the country, look no further than Jason. The way he presents himself in a courtroom is beyond impressive. His presence, preparation, and command of the room are undeniable, and you can see the respect he carries the moment he stands up to speak. If you’re looking for someone who will truly fight for you and give you the strongest chance at the best possible outcome, Jason is the attorney you want in your corner. I’m incredibly thankful for everything he did for me.

I simply cannot say enough kind things about Dwane Cates and his law firm: he’s kind, a fantastic listener, excellent people skills ~he is so relatable and easily approachable, super fast results and highly professional. His legal acumen is top tier. The friendly people in his office are same.

David · May 2026

Dwane handled my case and I found his expertise and knowledge comforting. He was there for me every step of the way and Samantha is super helpful and I'm thankful for my outcom.

James · criminal defense · May 2026

Since I hired Mr. Cates to work on my case a few years ago, everything has been a total success. He was able to eliminate/seal almost every felony charge off my record that the Court remanded to the Grand Jury. In addition, he was able to change my sentencing from a felony to a simple misdemeanor wit h no supervision on probation. After these significant rulings, he was even able to have my unsupervised probation terminated a year early, so everything is finished now. I cannot say enough goof things about Mr. Cates. He constantly strives for excellence by taking phone calls, filing motions in Court, and exploring options with clients to help meet their legal needs, often in difficult situations in which there is no easy solution. The results to my case attest to these superb qualities in Mr. Cates and his staff. Not to mention he has an outstanding reputation with judges and prosecutors which definitely helped my case. Without any doubt, I would hire Mr. Cates again for any legal issue in Arizona. Thank you so much for everything you have done!

Mr.Cates recently handled a criminal case for a family friend and we couldn’t be more grateful for his professionalism, knowledge and care. He kept the family informed at all times and worked tirelessly to reach the best outcome for the case. He was very honest and made it easy to understand the lega l aspects of the case at all times. His staff members are just as professional and caring! I highly recommend Mr. Cates to anyone or family members facing criminal charges. Excellent service, care, and outcome!
