About Katsarelis Law Criminal Defense Attorneys
Katsarelis Law Criminal Defense Attorneys is a Tucson law firm focused exclusively on criminal defense. Serving Tucson and clients in Arizona, the firm represents people facing criminal charges and provides legal counsel through the criminal justice process. Its website states that the attorneys have more than 20 years of experience protecting the rights of the accused, along with 45 years of combined experience. The firm offers a free initial case review for people seeking to discuss their situation and understand their legal options.
The firm's practice areas include assault and battery, domestic violence, drug crimes, driving under the influence, federal crimes, homicide, sex crimes, theft crimes, and white collar crimes. These matters can involve allegations ranging from impaired driving and possession of controlled substances to fraud, identity theft, and charges involving serious physical harm. The firm also handles cases involving alleged sexual offenses, including sexual assault, rape, child molestation, and possession or distribution of child pornography. Its website notes that these cases may carry significant legal and personal consequences, and emphasizes the importance of a defense prepared for the specific facts and evidence involved.
Katsarelis Law describes its approach as respectful and attentive to the sensitive nature of criminal accusations. The firm says its attorneys work to protect clients' rights, provide strategic advice, and guide them through legal proceedings regardless of the seriousness of the charge. Its case descriptions reference investigation, review of evidence, communication with prosecutors, and motions challenging unlawful stops or faulty warrants. In one aggravated DUI matter, the firm reported filing a motion to dismiss based on an alleged unlawful traffic stop. In a drug trafficking case, it reported filing a motion to suppress evidence based on an allegedly faulty warrant.
The firm's published case results include matters in which all charges were dismissed. Reported examples include allegations of sex conduct with a minor and molestation, aggravated DUI, drug trafficking, domestic violence with criminal damage, domestic violence with disorderly conduct, and criminal damage. The descriptions state that investigations uncovered information provided to prosecutors, or that defense motions challenged evidence or police conduct. In each of these examples, the website reports that the prosecution dropped the charges and the judge dismissed the case. These results describe individual matters and do not guarantee a particular outcome in another case.
