Earlier this year, my life dramatically changed. I found myself in a situation where I needed representation and defense. I have never had any experience with legal issues before and was truly scared for my life and for my family, as i was facing decades of prision time and had no idea of what to do. I was facing 4 serious felonies and was taken into custody without bond. Tim and Jack dedicated and worked hard to represent me, so that I was released on bond and had a better chance of fighting my case. They drove hours away for my hearings, filed numerous motions and collected data to provide the courts. Jack and Tim spent an immense amount of time and effort on documentation to give me a voice and speak in a way that my story was heard in the justice system. Jack fought aggressively to point out the facts and strengths of my case. Tim worked hard in pointing out the mitigating factors and it's impact in my case. Jack was very upfront and honest about what was happening and Tim kept me informed about the details of what to expect next. They were both very responsive and always available when I needed to get in contact with them. As a result I was able to avoid incarceration or doing any prison time and I was given a plea of probation. Tim and Jack are a dynamic duo that will work aggressively and compassionately together to get the best outcome and offer the best representation for their clients. I am thankful for this team and for the opportunity to reunite my family and have another chance at life. I truly thank you both.

Prior to the this incident in which I needed a lawyer, I had never been in trouble with the law and didn't even know the first place to start. On a whim and based on excellent reviews I reached out to Jack and Tim, and I am glad I made that decision. I was facing two misdemeanor charges when I made the first call not knowing what to expect, but Jack responded to me right away. Knowing that they have a busy schedule, I was glad they were willing to do a face to face consultation the day following my initial call. While in our meeting Jack and Tim conducted themselves professional, clearly laying out the facts and options we could take going forward. During the time I was dealing with my legal matters, I worked primarily with Tim. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. Any questions and concerns I had, and there were a lot, Tim answered in a timely manner and never left me hanging. When everything was said and done, they were able to get my charges dismissed by the state. I never write reviews but their excellent service and knowledge of the law prompted me to write one because how thankful I am for their help. I would highly recommend them to anyone that finds themselves facing criminal charges and not knowing who to turn to next.

I hired Jack Litwak to handle my charges out of Tempe. He did a great job for me from start to finish. Attorney Litwak is easy to work with and takes care of everything. Jack worked on my case till the end and continued to push, finally getting my charges totally dismissed. Thank you Jack for your persistence and attaining my desires for a dismissal of my charges.

I not only recommend attorney Jack Litwak, I guarantee once you have used his services you will look no further. He was extremely knowledgeable, kept me updated throughout the case and kept things affordable. He fought to have my case dismissed and was successful in doing so. I could not have been happier with his services.

Jack was a godsend for our family. There were serious charges involved, and Jack handled the case exceptionally well. He he was able to have all of the charges dismissed by the county and by the city. Our family is so relieved and thankful. Jack always kept in communication with us and let us know everything that was going on with the case. his knowledge and experience was invaluable in helping us. I hope we don’t need his help again, but if we do, he is our attorney for life. Highly recommended. If you have legal trouble, give Jack a call.

Prior to being indicted I had never had an encounter with the law or need for an attorney. I had a very difficult and complex case in which I indicted with a class two felony among additional charges. I felt very defeated and unsure what to do. Jack was recommended to me. He went above and beyond to bring my case to a favorable resolution (misdemeanor) and avoid a criminal conviction on my record. He made my experience less terrifying and gave me the confidence to not lose hope. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jack. He is extremely knowledgeable, aggressive, thorough, dedicated, honest, professional, kind and genuinely committed to doing all that can possibly be done for his clients. He is always available and very patient. He took the time to answer my questions and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I could not have navigated this process and stayed sane without his support and guidance. When my case was resolved I felt more as if he was a friend than just an attorney I had hired to represent me in a difficult time There is no doubt if you hire Jack that your case will be handled with absolute expertise and care from start to finish. He took the worst time of my life, helped me see light and guided me through a complicated legal system. I cannot imagine going through what I went through with anyone other than Jack representing me. I strongly encourage anyone needing legal assistance to retain Jack to represent them as they will not be disappointed in him or his abilities.

Jack was the best choice we could have ever hoped for. As soon as he was hired he immediaty obtained all the information necessary to defend our son. He reviewed the complete discovery, hired a private investigator as well as a forensic nurse to assist with our defense and we got the best outcome we could hope for. Instead of my son doing 10 to 15 years he is doing 2 years and should be out in 1.5. Jack has a great rapport with the prosecutions office which is key for any defense attorney and if you want someone who's going to fight for your rights he's your man. Thank you Jack for all you've done!

No one wants to be in a position where they need to hire a criminal defense attorney. However, when it happens there are some things to know to ensure you get the best defense possible. Often this decision is made under duress as life and liberty are on the line, and someone may not know what to look for when deciding who to trust with their future. Experienced criminal defense attorney Jack Litwak shares what to look for when hiring a criminal defense attorney. With years of experience in high-level felony cases across the state of Arizona, he knows what it takes to get the best results possible.

There are 6 factors that Litwak points to when selecting a criminal defense attorney:

    1. Point of Contact. Who are you interacting with at the first point of contact? Is it an attorney, receptionist, intake specialist, or salesperson?
    2. Direct and Continuous Contact with your Attorney. Will the attorney have continuous and direct contact with you? Will they get to know you, your family, and your story personally so they can understand you as an actual person rather than a paycheck? Continuous contact should lead to passion in their fight to defend you. Passion in the fight against the government will always yield a better outcome.
    3. Individualize Representation. Will you be one out of hundreds of clients, or will the attorney have a balanced caseload to be able to provide individualized representation? Will they be able to employ strategies and resources to your specific case and unique needs? No two situations are the same and the attorney you choose needs to be able to represent you in your unique situation, whatever those needs are.
    4. Aggressiveness. Anyone can say they are aggressive; you need a criminal defense attorney that really is. Aggressive defense does not mean an attorney that is loud or yells in court, it means finding out if this attorney forms early and aggressive trial strategies and who thinks outside the box. Do they review evidence quickly, interview witnesses, and explore all possible constitutional violations? Are they an aggressive and effective cross examiner at evidentiary hearings or trial? By aggressively investigating, interviewing, and preparing for trial the attorney will set you up for the best possible chance of success either in the form of a dismissal, a not guilty verdict, or a favorable plea.
    5. Experience. Picking an experienced lawyer and an experienced criminal defense lawyer are not the same thing. An attorney with criminal law experience, with a track record of success, is the best choice. Look and see what kinds of cases they have handled; are they new to criminal law, do they dabble in it, or do they focus exclusively on criminal defense? Do they litigate criminal cases in Arizona, and if so, what kinds of cases? Are they handling major felony cases where decades of someone’s life is on the line or only misdemeanors?
    6. Affordability. Of course, affordability and cost are important to consider when choosing the right criminal defense attorney. What kind of advertisements and caseloads does the firm have? The more overhead a firm has, the more a client will need to pay to help cover that overhead or the more cases a firm will need to take on. So, look at what the price really covers. Do not assume the cheapest is best or that the most expensive attorney is the most experienced or successful. The fee should match the amount of work that needs to be done in each case.
