As a former state and federal prosecutor, I understand how the other side thinks and works. I also understand the difficult situation you're in if you've been charged with a crime. I'm here to help you get out of that difficult situation with minimal negative consequences. I believe that justice can only be consistently achieved if the accused has representation that is at least on par with, if not superior to the accuser. I am certified by the State Bar of Arizona as a specialist in criminal law and I have extensive trial experience (well over 100 jury trials), but I am constantly working to improve.. I grew up in Tucson and graduated from the University of Arizona College of Law in 1997. I then clerked for a Pima County Superior Court Judge and subsequently joined the Pima County Attorney's Office as a Deputy County Attorney. As a Deputy County Attorney, I prosecuted a wide range of cases, including DUI, narcotics offenses, property crimes, violent felonies, and homicides.. After four years at the Pima County Attorney’s Office, I spent three years at the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.  As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, I prosecuted a variety of crimes, primarily related to drug trafficking, alien smuggling, and child pornography.  I also spent nearly two years in the appellate unit, writing numerous appellate briefs on behalf of the government and arguing them in front of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.. In 2005, I left the United States Attorney's Office to start the law firm of Leonardo & Roach, LLC, where I focused on criminal defense and personal injury cases. In 2009, I founded Leonardo Law Offices, PLLC in an effort to provide a greater degree of service and personal attention to my client's and their cases.. Although I can't guarantee any particular result (no honest attorney can), I always work hard for my clients to get them the best outcome. I charge a reasonable flat fee in DUI and criminal cases so there are no hidden costs. I can often offer some flexibility with a limited payment plan if necessary.. When I started in private practice, I found that my experience building cases as a prosecutor translated nicely into the area of personal injury law. Just as a criminal defendant faces the power and unlimited resources of the government, an injury victim must contend with a large, well-funded insurance company and its high-priced attorneys. I enjoy being the underdog and I like to think that I can help level the playing field in these situations. In accident/injury cases, I work on a contingency fee basis so you don't pay anything up front. The fee is taken out of any settlement or award if and when we win the case.. If you're a good person who's found yourself in a bad situation -- whether you've been charged with a crime or injured as a result of someone else's negligence -- give me a call.

Amanda practices criminal defense and also provides entrepreneur's / small business legal services by providing concierge-level services for business formation, trademarks, copyrights & important contractual agreements.. Early on in her career as a trial attorney, Amanda discovered a passion for helping other lawyers and aspiring lawyers improve their craft, and I built a reputation as an educator on a variety of topics, including DUI defense, trial techniques, legal ethics, attorney wellness, and productivity. Amanda worked as a law professor for several years prior to opening my AJB Law firm where she combines both trial skills and talent for speaking and teaching,. Amanda’s experience in education provides strength in reducing the complicated and difficult down to the simple and actionable—for clients, opposing counsel, the judge, and the jury.. Amanda’s educational experiences started when she led the Criminal Defense Clinic and taught Trial Advocacy part-time. Later, she became a full-time law professor and law school administrator and taught courses that helped prepare students for success in law school, on the bar exam, and in practice.. Amanda directed the Internship program where she developed and taught a course focused on competencies and foundations for practice, and provided training to attorney-supervisors in best practices for mentoring and guiding externship students.. Amanda continues to train practicing attorneys by regularly teaching CLEs for attorneys focused on mentoring, self-care, and accepting feedback.. Building off her passion for helping others reach their goals and succeed in their careers, and after opening several small businesses, Amanda expanded her legal services to help other small business owners with the protection of their businesses and brands.. Amanda is currently developing several courses and materials that will provide community legal education for pre-law and law students, as well as pro-se litigants that need to represent themselves in court..

After working for firms and handling numerous cases, I realized that one of the most important things to clients is having an attorney who understands their case from start to finish. When one hires a firm they often never hear from the attorney they originally spoke with again because that attorney only is in charge of intake. The person may not even have the opportunity to speak with their attorney about their individual case before making a payment and instead, their consultation might be referred to a case manager following a script, who may or may not be an attorney. Other times a person's case is transferred to various attorneys within the firm who may or may not know the details of the case. This can sometimes cause confusion with expectations, desired outcomes, probability of success, or frustration with the need to continuously repeat information or provide documents.. It is largely for this reason that I decided to start my own practice. When you hire me you can rest assured that I will be your attorney from start to finish. Your free initial consultation will address your goals and expectations from the start so you can decide whether to proceed with my representation. Thereafter, you can be assured that I will remain a part of your case until the end and will be in direct communication with you.. Since being admitted to the California Bar in 2010 and the Arizona Bar in 2014 I have focused almost entirely on criminal law.  Arizona has some of the harshest laws and penalties in the country for common crimes such as DUI/DWI, and it is my goal to ensure that your rights are nonetheless protected. You may have a defense on constitutional grounds such as an unreasonable search of your vehicle, invalid stop, or violation of your rights to remain silent and obtain counsel. The law is consistently changing and I am focused on coming up with the best strategies to protect your constitutional rights.. If you are charged with a crime, give me a call and find out how I can assist you.

After graduating law school and earning my BAR card I started practicing with a large, local firm. I practiced at that firm for almost 15 years and while I gained a tremendous amout of experience I wanted something more. What I wanted was a personal connection to those I represented. I wanted to learn who they are and how their situation impacted them and their loved ones. I wanted to really know their story.. I started my own practice with that in mind. My entire team understands who I am and who we represent. What we do matters and we remember that every minute of every day. You will be able to find lawyers who are juggling more cases and I cannot imagine you will find a personal advocate who cares more about the outcome of your matter!

37 days after 9/11, I raised my hand and swore to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States and joined the United States Air Force JAG Corps.  To this day, I continue to uphold that oath and defend my clients by using the Constitution to fight for justice.  There are no sides to justice. There is only justice.. I have seen a case from every angle.  Over my nearly ten-year Air Force career, I served as a prosecutor, defense counsel and appellate defense counsel.  In 2011, I left active duty after being recognized as the #1 Senior Defense Counsel in the Air Force.  I left the Air Force because my next job was going to be a deputy prosecutor in a base legal office.  After years as a defense counsel, I could not and would not return to that side of the aisle.. My life is still dedicated to upholding and defending the Constitution by fighting against the prosecution machine of the armed forces.  The Constitution is not a technicality; it is a document our Founding Fathers created to make sure justice is preserved.  There is no greater calling than defending those who defend America.
