Navigating the complexities of the legal system can be daunting. Whether you are facing criminal charges, dealing with immigration issues, or seeking justice for a personal injury or wrongful death, having experienced legal representation is crucial. At Big Chad Law, we understand what’s at stake and are dedicated to protecting your rights, your future, and your freedom.
Criminal Defense
Getting arrested or charged with a crime can turn your life upside down. At Big Chad Law, we fight to protect your rights, your future, and your freedom. We defend against charges including DUI, drug crimes, assault, domestic violence, theft, juvenile offenses, probation violations, and white-collar crimes.
Mesa Criminal Defense
Mesa criminal cases typically begin at the Mesa Municipal Court or the Maricopa County Superior Court - Southeast. At Big Chad Law, we are familiar with the judges, prosecutors, and procedures that can make a difference in the outcome of your case. Knowing the Mesa court system, judges, and prosecutors allows us to anticipate how your case may unfold. Your actions after an arrest can greatly impact your case. You should stay silent and immediately request a lawyer. Do not speak to police or investigators without legal representation. Avoid discussing your case online or with others, and follow all court dates and release conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What if this is my first offense? You may qualify for diversion programs or deferred judgment.
- Will I go to jail? Not always. Many first-time and non-violent offenses result in probation or reduced penalties.
- Can I clear my record later? Possibly. Arizona allows record sealing and set-asides in certain cases.
Phoenix Criminal Defense
When facing criminal charges in Phoenix, you need an attorney with extensive experience, local courtroom knowledge, and a proven track record of defending cases like yours. A strong criminal defense lawyer should thoroughly investigate your case, challenge evidence, protect your rights, and explore all possible defenses-whether through negotiation or trial. A criminal conviction carries consequences far beyond fines, probation, or jail time. It can damage your reputation, jeopardize employment opportunities, make housing difficult to secure, strain personal relationships, and create long-term financial and emotional stress. Even minor charges can lead to a permanent record, affecting future opportunities.

Personal Injury
Filing a personal injury claim can be confusing and overwhelming. If someone’s carelessness seriously hurts you, seek legal advice promptly. Your personal injury lawyer may advise you to file a personal injury lawsuit. Describe what happened and recount any statements you made afterward. Provide police reports or accident scene photos if available. Bring all bills related to your injury, including therapy costs. Explain how the injury affects your daily activities, hobbies, and social life. Detail how your injury affects your job performance. Your lawyer must understand the accident thoroughly to identify liable parties.
Steps to Take After an Injury:
- Collect witness contact information.
- Maintain constant contact with your attorney.
- Provide all available information about your accident and injuries.
Negotiation and Settlement:

Insurance companies often offer settlements quickly, sometimes before you consult an attorney or fully understand your injury costs. Review any offer carefully with your lawyer. Accepting the initial offer ends the process, providing quick compensation. However, many victims reject it, as it may not cover all expenses. If you can’t agree with the insurance company, you must file a lawsuit. If mediation fails, your case goes to trial. A judge will rule on your claim. You may opt for a jury trial in serious Phoenix personal injury cases.
Statute of Limitations:
Florida law allows four years to file personal injury claims. A personal injury lawyer helps navigate insurance negotiations and claim deadlines. Tackling Florida law and insurance companies alone invites disaster.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Intoxicated motorists remain one of the most urgent hazards on the roads. If you or a loved one have suffered harm because of a drunk motorist, allow a Kingman drunk driving accident lawyer from our firm to represent you. We will demand fair compensation for any medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by the impaired driver.
Hit and Run Accidents
A hit and run accident can be one of the most stressful and confusing experiences on the road. In Arizona, leaving the scene of an accident is classified as a felony if injuries are involved. Drivers are legally obligated to remain at the scene, exchange information, and assist injured parties.
Steps to Take After a Hit and Run:
- Ensure Safety First: Move your vehicle to a secure location.
- Call 911: Notify the police.
- Look for Witnesses: Eyewitness accounts can make a big difference.
- Notify Your Insurance Company: Contact your insurer to report the hit and run.
Legal Considerations:
- Can you sue for a hit-and-run? Yes.
- Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage: Can provide financial relief if the driver remains unidentified.
- Reporting: Insurers often require prompt police reporting for UM claims.
- Statute of Limitations: Generally 2 years from the injury date.
Wrongful Death
There’s nothing more devastating than losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence. In these moments, your family deserves answers, accountability, and the chance to pursue justice. A skilled Glendale wrongful death lawyer at Big Chad Law can help you understand your rights and take legal action against the party responsible for the loss. Our role as your lawyer is to step in with clarity, compassion, and the legal strength needed to hold the at-fault party accountable.
Key Aspects of Wrongful Death Claims:
- Definition: A wrongful death is defined as one caused by the “wrongful act, neglect, or default of another.”
- Eligible Parties: The surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased may file a wrongful death claim.
- Statute of Limitations: Generally two years from the date of the person’s death.
- Compensation: Aims to address the economic and emotional impact of a preventable loss.
Process of Filing a Claim:
- Investigation: Gathering evidence to establish liability.
- Filing the Claim: Drafting and filing the wrongful death lawsuit against the responsible party.
- Negotiation & Resolution: Engaging in aggressive negotiation to secure the highest possible compensation.
Damages Recoverable:
Wrongful death compensates the survivors for their losses (companionship, financial support, funeral, etc.). A survival action preserves the decedent’s own claims for the estate, but the decedent’s pain-and-suffering damages do not survive under Arizona’s survival statute. Many cases include both claims.
