Sylvina D Cotto

Firm: Cotto Law Firm
1152 E. Greenway St. , Mesa , Arizona 85203
Practice Areas: Child Custody & Visitation, Criminal Defense , Divorce, Family , Wills & Living Wills, Wills & Living Wills, Estate Planning, Guardianship, Probate, Trusts
I am an experienced attorney dedicated to helping clients successfully memorialize their end of life wishes and adequately prepare for their possible incapacitation. I follow a "boutique firm" format that allows me to provide clients meaningful personalized services.. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology and graduated from Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor Law School in December of 1992.. I started as a law clerk at the Maricopa County Public Defender's Office right after I graduated from law school and began handling cases as soon as I passed the bar exam in the spring of 1993. As a public defender, I was in court litigating almost every day. By the time I left the Public Defender's office I was training and supervising new recruits.. In 1999 I left government work for private practice. I had enjoyed family law classes in school and found the transition easy and the new area of practice a good fit. My degree and experience in psychology have also been a tremendous resource. It was then that I realized how many of my clients were running into problems because of poor or no end of life planning. And I fell in love with yet another area of law: estate planning (probate, trust administration and adult guardianship)!. Through my 31 years of practice I have been involved in many Arizona State Bar committees, a Supreme Court committee, as well as other law related organizations, such as Los Abogados. As an estate planning attorney, I find the State Bar Probate and Trust Section a tremendous resource.

Just because you have been charged with a crime does not mean that you are guilty. The State has the Police and the Prosecutor’s Office on their side; you need a zealous advocate on yours. The State will bring all of its vast power to bear against those it accuses of a crime, so it is important to have an experienced professional to guide you through this nightmare. A criminal record will follow you for the rest of your life. It is vital that you do everything that you can to keep that record clean. It can affect your employment, schooling, even your personal relationships.. It is important to gather all the evidence that you possibly can, for the State will be doing exactly that. Even before you have to appear in court, steps can and should be taken to strengthen your case. Again, this is where having an experienced professional on your side will help immensely. I will work with you at every stage of your case. I will weigh every option and explore every potential solution to your legal troubles. Ultimately, you will make the final decisions, but I will do everything in my power to give you the best options to choose from.

Firm: Law Office of Kirk Lewis, PLLC

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
Kirk Lewis has been an Arizona resident for over 20 years and completed his undergraduate studies locally at Arizona State University, graduating Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a minor in English Linguistics.  Following his degree at ASU, Kirk attended law school in Sacramento, California at the University of the Pacific – McGeorge School of Law, earning Dean’s List honors and being named to the Traynor Honor Society.. Kirk has fought for criminally charged individuals through every stage of litigation, including multiple jury trials.  Kirk is also fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese, which enables him to personally interact with individuals from various cultural backgrounds – in both the criminal defense and immigration setting.  Additionally, due to the adverse effect any criminal conviction could have on an immigration case, Kirk’s experience in both criminal and immigration law allows him to better serve his immigration clients by fighting for a result that won’t disqualify them from immigration relief.. When Kirk isn’t fighting for his clients in court, he enjoys all the outdoor activities Arizona has to offer with his wife and three kids.  During the scorching summer months Kirk looks forward to family camping trips on the beach in California.
