Mary Kincaid

Firm: Law Offices of Matthew H. Green
130 W Cushing , Tucson , Arizona 85713
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
Molly Kincaid graduated from James E. Rogers College of Law at the University of Arizona, where she focused her studies on immigration law and criminal defense. During  law school, she worked for the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, assisting detained immigrants seeking relief from deportation. She also represented immigrant workers and asylum seekers through the Tucson Worker's Project and the Immigration Law Clinic. In addition, Molly performed legal research remotely for United Farm Workers, Cesar Chavez's non-profit that supports California's migrant workers exposed to employer abuses and wage and labor discrimination.. Before she even graduated law school, Ms. Kincaid became immersed in criminal defense as well. Working for the Arizona Justice Project, she was part of a team that represented a client who received clemency after 49 years in prison (making her the longest-serving female inmate in the country). This experience instilled in Ms. Kincaid a deep passion to serve those who may have been wrongfully accused of a crime, or unjustly sentenced or charged.. Ms. Kincaid is now an experienced criminal defense attorney, and zealously defends her clients through active motions practice and litigation. Before joining the Law Offices of Matthew H. Green, she worked as a trial attorney at the Pima County Public Defender's office, representing many indigent clients in their criminal cases. Ms. Kincaid tirelessly works each case to get the best outcome for each and every client, whether that outcome is a jury trial or a beneficial plea agreement. Her trial experience and the many cases she handled at the Public Defender prepared her to be able to advise clients on the best course of action. Because of her interest in both criminal and immigration law, Ms. Kincaid is able to counsel non-citizen clients on the best route for them in their criminal case in order to avoid immigration consequences.. Ms. Kincaid has experience in a wide variety of criminal cases: drug sales, transportation and possession, domestic violence, robbery, burglary, theft, homicide, sexual assault and other sex offenses, child abuse, assault, disorderly conduct and shoplifting. She practices in the Pima County Superior Court, the Pima County Justice Court, Tucson City Court, and U.S. District Court in Tucson.

As the father of three (3) intelligent and precocious children, I know how important it is to protect and guide them into an unknown, uncertain and unknowing future.  They deserve all of the assets and assistance they can get to succeed in a future that you, as their parent or guardian, may not see.  Never trust your life or your children's lives with an inexperienced or untested attorney.  Never!  I have over thirty (30) years experience as the lead trial lawyer -- including death penalty and representing major Fortune 100 companies -- but found the criminal and civil aspects of the practice of law unfulfilling.  A good lawyer can effect the lives of those living today while a great lawyer can effect the lives of those who are living and coming of age today, tomorrow and well into the future.  I look forward to being of service to you and your children now, tomorrow and far into that unknown and unknowing future.

I have practiced law in Tucson for over 35 years.  My private practice focuses on criminal defense, including  homicide, sex offenses, vehicular homicide and DUI.  I have personally defended over one hundred jury trials, including many of Tucson’s high profile criminal prosecutions.. Being charged with a criminal offense is among the most serious problems a person will ever face, involving possible loss of freedom, career, and precious reputation.  I am determined to provide individual attention and the most thorough and aggressive defense possible to each client.. In 1994, I was selected  Trial Lawyer of the Year by the American Trial Lawyers for Public Justice.  I have been listed in Best Lawyers of America since 2000, and am listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers and Southwest Super Lawyers.. I have lectured throughout the state to attorneys, and others, on legal topics. I am the co-host of the annual seminar on defending vehicular and DUI offenses. I have been the co-host and speaker at that seminar for 30 years. I have spoken to other defense organizations, and the State Bar, on a wide variety of topics involving criminal defense, including witness interview techniques, cross examination, and pretrial investigation.. I  am also interested in the Arizona Public Records law, and have spoken to jounalists, and others, on the broad reach of the public records law. I am particularly interested in the Puiblic Records law as an invaluable  tool in criminal defense.   I recently successfully represented a private investigator when the Pima County Sheriff sought to prevent him from using the public records law to investigate an alleged sex offense.
