Your Rights Deserve a Strong Legal Defense

Plan Criminal Defense Representation in Tempe and Surrounding Areas

You need a defense attorney who understands how to challenge unlawful searches, coerced statements, and procedural shortcuts that violate your constitutional rights. Whether you're facing felony or misdemeanor charges in Tempe or throughout Arizona, the quality of your representation will determine whether evidence is suppressed, charges are reduced, or your case is dismissed entirely. Squires Law provides direct attorney access from Jason Squires throughout your case, keeping communication clear and consistent from arrest through resolution.


Our approach is rooted in Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections, focusing on search-and-seizure violations and interrogation defense. We conduct witness interviews, review police reports, and challenge procedural errors that undermine the state's case. With familiarity across Tempe neighborhoods, campus districts, and the surrounding Maricopa County courts, we know the local policing patterns and prosecution tendencies that shape how cases are built and charged.


Reach out early to protect your criminal defense rights in Tempe or a surrounding area and begin building a fact-driven strategy before critical evidence is lost.

Details That Matter Most

Your defense begins with a confidential consultation where we review the charges, the circumstances of your arrest, and any statements you made to law enforcement. You'll work directly with Attorney Jason Squires, who will explain the legal standards that apply to your case and identify potential defense angles based on Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections. We also discuss the timeline for pre-trial motions, discovery, and court appearances.


Once retained, Squires Law immediately requests all police reports, body-cam footage, and witness statements to identify procedural errors or rights violations. We examine whether officers had probable cause to search your property, whether Miranda warnings were given properly, and whether any evidence was obtained through coercion or unlawful detention. This investigative approach has led to proven case results, as highlighted on our website.


You'll stay informed at every stage, from discovery review to pre-trial hearings and trial preparation. Our familiarity with Tempe and the Phoenix metro allows us to anticipate how prosecutors build their cases and respond with a defense that protects your rights and challenges weak evidence. We also provide availability for urgent arrests or high-pressure situations where immediate action is required.

What should I do if police want to question me?
You have the right to remain silent and request an attorney before answering any questions. Anything you say can be used against you, even if you believe you're helping your case, so it's critical to invoke your Fifth Amendment rights immediately.
Can evidence be thrown out if the search was unlawful?
Yes. If officers conducted a search without a warrant, probable cause, or your consent, any evidence obtained may be inadmissible under the exclusionary rule. We file motions to suppress evidence when Fourth Amendment violations occur.
How long does a criminal case take in Tempe?
Misdemeanor cases typically resolve within a few months, while felony cases can take six months to over a year depending on complexity and court schedules. We work to expedite resolution while protecting your rights at every stage.
What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor?
Felonies carry potential prison sentences and long-term consequences such as loss of voting rights and firearm possession. Misdemeanors typically result in jail time of less than six months and fines, but both require a strong defense to avoid conviction.
Why does local court knowledge matter?
Familiarity with Tempe's courts, judges, and prosecutors allows us to anticipate case-handling tendencies and negotiate more effectively. We know which arguments resonate locally and how to position your defense for the best possible outcome.
