Rhonda Neff Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Phoenix

Originally from Evanston, Wyoming, I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in lighting design and lighting technology from the University of Wyoming in 2003. After working in the lighting field for several years, I relocated to Phoenix, Arizona to pursue my goal of becoming a lawyer. I attended the Phoenix School of Law where I earned my Juris Doctor degree, graduating in the top 3% of my class. While attending law school I served as an intern in the Office of the Governor Jan Brewer and the Office of the Arizona Solicitor General. I also interned with the City of Mesa Economic Development Department where I assisted in the negotiation of several developments. In my final semester of law school, I interned at the law firm of Kimerer & Derrick, P.C.. After licensing, I was hired by Kimerer & Derrick, P.C. where I remained through 2020. In 2021, I founded Law Offices of Rhonda Neff, PLLC where I practice almost exclusively in criminal defense and criminal appeals. I have experience in a wide range of criminal cases from the highest felonies down to the lowest misdemeanors and petty offenses. I believe that every client's case is unique and carries with it unique challenges. No two case are ever the same and each defendant has a different background and life experience. It is important to have a lawyer that will look at the case and legal issues while at the same time taking the time to get to know the client as a person. I pride myself on being client focused.. I serve on the executive board of the Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice. I have served on its governing board for many years, in addition to serving on the legislative and amicus committees. I am a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Women's White Collar Defense Association. I have been named as a Super Lawyer Rising Star consecutively since 2016.I am admitted to practice law in the State of Arizona, State of Colorado (inactive), the Federal District Court for the District of Arizona, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court of the United States.
