Arizona Trial Lawyers Prepared to Fight for You in Court
When your case goes to trial, it’s immensely important to hire a Criminal Defense team experienced in both criminal law AND trial litigation. While many cases resolve before trial, in order to achieve the best result, your Arizona criminal defense team should prepare your case starting day one as if it were going to trial. Your Tait & Hall Criminal Defense attorney will be prepared to represent you with skillfulness at every stage of your case, no matter how far it goes.
At Tait & Hall, our attorneys have finely-tuned litigation abilities that are indispensable to our clients’ success in trial. They have excellent oral argument skills and are experienced litigating in front of the toughest judges and against the most difficult criminal prosecutors in Arizona. Further, with highly-experienced former Maricopa County criminal prosecutors on our team, we hold an advantage that many criminal defense firms do not:
We know how prosecutors think about cases and evidence, can anticipate their next moves, and know the ins and outs of their strategies. Our Arizona criminal defense and trial lawyers know how to interpret and leverage facts, circumstances, and evidence to advocate for our clients with tremendous impact. To us, it’s vital that we go into trial knowing more about a case than anyone else in the courtroom— and we’re not afraid of the hard work it takes to achieve that.
Our team’s litigation skills allow us to approach criminal allegations, charges, cases, and trials with the tools needed to make cogent arguments and effectively fight for the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Lawyers that truly care about the clients they serve
Former prosecutors-turned-fierce legal advocates
Tait & Hall founding partners, Ryan Tait and AJ Hall, began their careers as Maricopa County prosecutors. While they were highly successful in their respective roles, during their tenures they bore witness to a major flaw in our justice system: those accused of crimes are often taken advantage of and bullied by our government institutions.
The systems that claim to keep our communities safer frequently cause harm to the lives of individuals facing criminal charges; they emphasize punishment over rehabilitation. However, Ryan and AJ understood that individuals facing criminal charges are often those who need the most help from our broken system—not punishment. These people are most often those who’ve made a mistake at a low point in their life, who face extreme poverty, who lack the cognitive ability to make sound decisions, or who are in the heartbreaking throes of addiction.
The Law Firm of Tait & Hall: We believe that EVERYONE deserves effective legal representation.
As prosecutors, Ryan and AJ grew increasingly uncomfortable with the punishment approach, and rather wanted to use their power to help rehabilitate their communities as advocates for people facing criminal charges. Being so, Ryan and AJ stepped down as prosecutors who represented the Government, went into private law practice, and followed their true passion: representing individuals and standing up for people. Tait & Hall was founded on the principle that EVERY person facing criminal charges deserves compassionate, professional legal representation.
The Arizona criminal defense and trial attorneys at the Tait and Hall understand the formula for successful legal representation: exceptional client service, professional dedication, and outstanding results. Our standard to passionately pursue the needs and goals of our clients defines our duty and commands our motives. Our cause is to obtain success through the achievement of purpose-driven results.
As a client of our firm, you’ll not only receive strong, aggressive legal representation from highly-qualified defense attorneys. You’ll also be met with kindness and compassion throughout the entire legal process.

"I was charged with a DUI and told by everyone I talked to that hiring a lawyer would not be able to help me because my BAC was too high. They were wrong! A.J. was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless driving. This resulted in no requirement for an interlock device or any of the other DUI requirements. A.J. was extremely helpful throughout my entire case and easy to get in touch with. I hope I never need a defense attorney again, but if I do I will definitely call A.J."

"I was pulled over for DUI in Gilbert, AZ. At the time, I was extremely scared as I had never been accused of something as serious as drinking and driving. The officer was aggressive and tried to bully me into a bunch of tests. Eventually the officer cuffed me, took me to the blood testing facility, and had my blood drawn. A few weeks later I received a letter in the mail stating that I had to go to court for DUI charges. When I opened the letter I was extremely distraught because they wanted to throw me in jail, force me to have a breathalyser in my car, and the MVD threatened to suspend my driver license. I was also worried that the DUI charge would affect my work as a DUI is a charge that must be reported to my company due to the industry that I am employed.I reached out to Mr. Hall who without hesitation took my case and helped me feel that everything would be all right. Over the next couple of months, Mr. Hall went to court for me and investigated my case. He collected medical evidence, obtained police reports, and took pictures of the location in Gilbert that the officer accused me of being DUI.When it was time for my case to finally go before a judge I went to court with Mr. Hall. I was amazed and relived when court finished because I walked out of court with only a honking horn violation. Mr. Hall got my DUI charges dismissed and made sure I kept my driver license without any traffic points."
