Phoenix, Arizona, Sexual Offense Defense Law Firm
"Mandatory sentencing assumes that all criminals committing the same crime deserve the same punishment. It thereby betrays the ideal of sentences proportioned to individual circumstances and eviscerates the statutory claim to 'just desert.'"*
— Judge Rudolph Gerber, Arizona Court of Appeals
This quote from a highly respected Arizona Court of Appeals judge sums up the problems with Arizona's mandatory sentencing laws. Prosecutors hold out mandatory sentencing laws as a hammer over criminal defendants, especially in sex crime cases. Often, people charged with sexual offenses are denied even the opportunity to plea bargain their case.
At the law firm of Blumberg & Associates in Phoenix, we view our role as defense attorneys as standing between you and heavy-handed prosecutors. We started our law firm in 1988 based on the idea that everyone charged with a crime in Arizona deserves representation equal to or better than that of the prosecution.
Our first goal in any sexual offense case is exoneration. However, if the state has strong evidence, our next goal is to minimize the damage and protect your freedom by negotiating a plea agreement you can live with. Our sex crime defense lawyers have obtained numerous not-guilty verdicts and favorable plea bargains. Many people charged with sex crimes can be treated, and the rate of recidivism of treated sex offenders is lower than in most other crimes.
