Hiring an attorney to handle your defense sounds expensive, which is why many people accused of crimes opt for state appointed counsel – public defenders. These public defenders have far too big a caseload to be able to focus or care about the outcome of your case. Hiring a private criminal attorney in Phoenix does not have to be expensive.
