If you are a college student or the parent of a college student who is facing criminal charges or has been injured as the result of someone else’s negligence, then you’ve come to the right place. You need a lawyer and we can help. At Leonardo Law Offices, we only do three types of cases: Criminal Defense, DUI, and Personal Injury. We offer free confidential case assessments in person, online, or over the phone (520-314-4125).
Criminal Defense & DUI
Every year, large numbers of students face criminal charges. The majority of these are related to alcohol drugs, but there are quite a few assaults and disorderly conduct charges as well. These crimes are usually misdemeanors, but there are felony charges as well. We have a long track record of success, including numerous not guilty verdicts, handling both felony and misdemeanor charges. This includes hundreds of DUI cases.
As a college student, it is imperative that you avoid having a criminal record. You are just starting out in life and, given where you are and what you’re doing, you future is promising. However, even a misdemeanor conviction can make it difficult to find work upon graduation. It can undermine an entire lifetime of accomplishment. We understand the tremendously negative repercussions that any type of criminal conviction can have. This is why we enjoy representing college students in criminal cases — because this is an area where we are able to make a significant positive impact on people’s lives.
Personal Injury / Auto Accident
Personal injury cases, like criminal cases, often arise out of a mixture of youth and alcohol. Judgment and perception become impaired, people become careless, and people get hurt as a result. Of course, people can also be reckless or negligent without the involvement of alcohol. Car accidents are a common occurrence in any large metropolitan area. Tucson’s particular mix of young and old drivers, as well as its often substandard streets, doesn’t help matters. The bottom line is that, if your injuries occurred as a result of someone else’s negligence or recklessness — whether the injury occurred on or off campus, at a fraternity house or bar, or on the roadway — you deserve to be compensated for your losses. These include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Like a criminal conviction, a serious injury can affect the rest of your life. It can reduce future earnings and quality of life. Some very serious injuries result in the victim requiring a lifetime of care at great expense. While no amount of money can ever compensate someone for an injury like this, it is important that you get enough money to receive the care that you need. My job is to get you that money while you focus on your recovery.
Reasonable Fees
I always advise people to speak with several attorneys, because it’s important to find someone they are comfortable with. If you do this, ask about the fees that each lawyer charges. Hiring a criminal defense attorney is not inexpensive — it takes time and expertise to do an effective job — but I think you will find that my fees are reasonable. You’ll notice that I’m certainly not the least expensive attorney out there, but I’m also not the most expensive. I do offer payment plans if necessary. I think it’s important to make my services accessible to people, but I also need to make a living while keeping my caseload small enough to enable me to do exceptional work on each case.
In personal injury and auto accident cases, I work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you don’t pay me unless I win the case. My fee is taken out of any recovery I obtain on your behalf. There are also no up-front fees or costs. Instead, I front any costs involved and am then reimbursed from the recovery. Given this contingency fee arrangement, I will not take an injury case unless I am confident I can win.
I would be happy to discuss the details of your case, at no charge, to determine whether I can help. I try not to take new cases unless I believe there is some way that I can improve your situation because I want to make sure you are getting value from my services. I am also always concerned with getting good results — it’s how I earn my reputation and ensure future business
