Client Testimonials

“I was arrested by the Tucson Police Department and put in Pima County jail for a week without being told of what I was accused of. There was a crew of drug dealers that moved into my complex and on the night of my arrest. I told a guy that was selling to cars pulling up of the street to leave because he was trespassing. He ended up calling the police on me and made up a story. I ended up parting ways with the public defender and hired Katherine Lynn Filous to represent me. Katie was very honest about the possibility of prison time if I were to lose the case. I was honest in giving details about the night of the arrest and she believed in what I was telling her. So the case was pushed back and eventually on today the 3/10/2023, Katie called me and informed me that the case was dismissed. Which is what she was telling me all along. I believe if I would have gone with the public defender that I probably would have gotten probation sentence for something I did not do. Katie was honestly confused on why they arrested me with no cause. I am extremely happy and grateful for all her work and success in representing me.”

“I was arrested for DV/threats and intimidation after an argument with a family member. The whole incident was ridiculous. I started searching for an attorney and was referred to Ferguson Hill by another attorney. Had a consultation and hired them. They had a lot of back and forth with the prosecution, who initially wanted restitution, classes etc. I submitted security camera footage of the incident. Miriam viewed it and messaged me back saying she was going to request a dismissal. After waiting for the prosecutor to review the video Miriam got back with me with good news. They had viewed the video and conceded that a prosecution would fail. My case was dismissed. Ferguson Hill also represented me in court without me having to be there which was a bit less stress. Now I can get back to my life without this hanging over my head.”

“With Trevor from the door we had an understanding on my case, and not one time did he ever deviate or try to manipulate me to do otherwise. My life was pretty much over 8-14 years and I’m already in my 30’s i would have missed my kids growing up, i would have never got my life together and started down the path I’m on. I now own a successful business and I’m happy with who I’ve become and i can honestly and truly say that is all thanks to this man. He could never charge his worth because i promise only 1% would be able to afford that. Trevor has/is and will be a part of my family for life. Thank you for never giving up on me and giving me a second chance at life! I wish you nothing but the best and success in life you more than deserve it. Be blessed!!!”

Common Penalties for a Criminal Conviction

After you are accused of a criminal charge, the criminal justice system is supposed to determine whether you committed the crime and what penalties you may face for it. A Tucson criminal defense lawyer from our law firm can assist with determining what penalties you may face and how we can help. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can help defend your case when you face penalties such as a jail or prison sentence. Your jail or prison time depends on whether you face a misdemeanor or felony charge. You may also face high fines and collateral consequences that can impact your quality of life, financial health, and potentially your child custody situation.

Probation vs. Parole When you are dealing with a criminal case, you may need to speak with your defense attorney about whether you will face probation or parole for your criminal charge if you are found guilty. Both of these options offer some freedom from jail or prison, but your options may depend on the details of your criminal cases. If you are offered community supervision, this would occur after you have served a certain amount of time in prison. This means you will still have to face time in prison first to later be eligible for community supervision. In contrast, probation is an alternative sentencing options that allows you to live at home and to continue working, but you will have to follow specific rules. That includes living in an approved residence, drug and alcohol testing, and abiding by a probation-officer-approved schedule. If you are accused of violating your probation, you may have to spend the remainder of your sentence in prison. If you believe that you may be in violation of your probation or community supervision, reach out to our criminal defense attorneys for help. Our attorneys can determine whether you are abiding by your agreement or in danger of a violation.

How Do I Fight a DUI?

When you are charged with driving under the influence (DUI), you may need help fighting the charges against you. An aggressive defense can help you avoid DUI conviction, especially with a Tucson DUI lawyer on your side.

Keep in mind that DUI crimes are different from many other types of criminal cases because it can affect your driving privileges. If you are charged with a DUI, you may have your driving privileges suspended or revoked, or you may have an ignition interlock device (IID) attached to your car if you are found guilty. That means you will have to pass a breathalyzer test every time you want to start your car.

A skilled criminal defense attorney can identify potential investigation, problems with the government's evidence, and potential violations of your Constitutional rights. Identifying the right DUI defense depends on the details of your DUI cases, so reach out for legal guidance from a DUI attorney.
