Jun 9, 2026 | Juvenile Crimes
Juvenile crimes in Arizona are based on the idea that young people are still developing and should be treated differently from adults, which is a key principle in understanding juvenile law. The focus is often on guidance, accountability, and correction rather than harsh punishment. Even so, certain allegations, such as assault charges, theft, or drug offenses, can result in detention, probation, or, in some cases, transfer to adult court. Early legal help from an attorney can help ensure that a parent or guardian takes the most important step for their minor.

Under Arizona Revised Statutes, a person commits obstructing governmental operations when they knowingly obstruct, impair, or hinder the performance of a governmental function by a public servant acting under color of his official authority.

A heated argument, a misunderstanding, or an attempt to stop someone from leaving can sometimes escalate into serious criminal accusations.

Custody exchanges are supposed to be routine moments where a child transitions from one parent’s care to the other. In high-conflict child custody exchanges, those interactions often become the most stressful part of the parenting schedule. What should be a brief handoff can turn into arguments, accusations, and emotional scenes that place the child directly in the middle of adult conflict.
Feb 16, 2026 | Criminal Defense, Embezzlement
Embezzlement is one of the most frequently charged white-collar crimes in Arizona, and many people accused of it never believed their actions would result in criminal prosecution. In many cases, the accused had lawful access to company funds or property and did not realize their conduct crossed the line under Arizona law until law enforcement became involved.
