You are not doomed to spend your life entangled in the criminal justice system just because you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong moment. Feelings of panic, dread, humiliation and despair set in very quickly after being accused of a crime. Sure, that's normal. However, you should set that aside and think realistically right away.
Family law practice, Cantor Law Group, is also part our business. We represent families in all walks of life in Arizona and throughout the U.S. in matters involving divorce, child custody, grandparents’ rights, adoptions, same-sex family law and more.
