1006 W Adams Street , Phoenix , Arizona 85007

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

Samantha is the founding attorney of DuMond Law, PLLC. Her passion for the legal field started at an early age and has grown stronger over past decades. “I believe in serving the under served and giving a voice to those who are not being heard. Every one should be able to afford the legal representation of their choosing and have the best possible legal defense regardless of their past or current situations.”. Samantha’s education began in upstate New York where she was born and raised the small town of Amsterdam.   Amsterdam was not known for having a high graduation rate. However, she beat the odds when she graduated from high school with honors at the age of 16. She continued on to major in Business Management at the University of Phoenix earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management while also earning an Associate’s Degree from Schenectady County Community College in Aviation Science. A few years younger than most of her peers, Samantha began law school in the Fall of 2010. She participated in an accelerated program and graduated cum laude from Phoenix School of Law (now called Arizona Summit School of Law) in downtown Phoenix, Arizona in the Fall of 2012.  Smantha was later recruited to come back to the school as an Adjunct Law Professor.. During law school, Samantha was a Managing Editor of Law Review, participated in a Summer Abroad program studying International Criminal Law with Creighton University School of Law, and volunteered with the Arizona Justice Project at Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. Samantha received various CALI awards for excellence in Evidence and Civil Procedure. Aside from her rigorous course schedule and studies, Samantha also worked full time as a contracted Law Clerk for a Trust & Estates Firm, a Criminal Defense Firm, and a Civil Litigation Firm. She also worked part time as a Bail Bond Agent on the weekends.. After graduating from law school and passing the Bar in February of 2013, Samantha’s husband was activated as part of the Army Reserves. Samantha continued to work as a contracted Law Clerk with firms in the Valley while she stayed home to be with her newborn son. When her husband returned, Samantha finished her license application and started DuMond Law, PLLC in April of 2014.. During her time as a practicing attorney, Samantha has been a fighter in the court room and an advocate for her clients. Nothing holds her back from being in the courtroom and being available to her clients. She has since had three more children and was still practicing and managing DuMond Law throughout the pregnancies. Her office is filled with pictures of her adorable family and the walls are adorned with certificates of her accomplishments.. Samantha was also an Adjunct Law Professor at Arizona Summit Law School from 2016 to 2018 teaching Post Conviction Relief and running the Post Conviction Relief Clinic and the Veteran's Legal Clinic where she was able to teach third year law students how to assist Clients with their legal needs.. She is a firm believer that with enough support and guidance, anyone can achieve their goals if they set their mind to believe in themselves. As a lawyer, Samantha is there to provide the support and guidance through any legal battle to help her clients reach their goals for their future.

Firm: Tait and Hall, PLLC

4455 E. Camelback Rd., Ste. C250 , Phoenix , Arizona 85018

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

Ryan Tait is founding partner of Tait & Hall and the firm’s chief litigator. As a persuasive and effective former prosecutor, Ryan successfully captures the attention and respect of anyone who interacts with him. Equipped with trial skills that earned him recognition in each bureau assignment at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, Ryan is someone you want on your side. During his tenure as a prosecutor, Ryan took more cases to trial and boasted a higher success rate than any other attorney in his bureau.. Fighting for those accused of crimes is not just a job for Ryan. As a child, Ryan was taunted and bullied by an older, bigger classmate and has never forgotten the feeling of powerlessness that resulted. He was reminded of that feeling when, as a freshman in college, he had a bill go to collections due to a bank error. Unwilling to admit its mistake, the bank forced Ryan to pay a fee or fight its attorney in court and risk paying thousands in attorney’s fees if he lost. Neither option was palatable for a poor college student working part time just to make ends meet. Those experiences where Ryan felt helpless and pushed around were what convinced him to become an attorney – determined to never again be bullied simply because he didn’t understand his rights.. It was also Ryan’s disdain for bullies that led him to choose a career as a criminal prosecutor once he finished law school. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before Ryan began to see that too often the bullies aren’t the accused, who usually have little power to contest the unfathomably large and powerful government. To his surprise and frustration, Ryan witnessed firsthand the ease with which real people accused of crimes fall prey to overly aggressive law enforcement officers, recklessly one-sided prosecutors, and a mob mentality in public opinion.. Seeing the startling frequency with which those who have the most power casually disregard the real impact their actions have on those with the least power led Ryan to leave his government job and move to private practice, where his empathic and determined approach has led to unrivaled success. Ryan thrives on winning the unwinnable case and defending and fighting for the underdog.
