Katsarelis Law Criminal Defense Attorneys

I can’t express my gratitude and thanks to the attorney Joseph Ricks and the paralegal assistant Divine Harclerode. Mr. Ricks was representing me (the defendant) in my case and he did an amazing job in the courtroom! And thanks to God we won the case convincingly and the judge dismissed all allegations against me. Outside the courtroom, Mr. Ricks was very helpful and assuring, very patient with my questions and very polite. Divine was very supportive on the psychological level too. When I first called the office, she was listening to me very patiently (and it was a long call). She assured me and scheduled a consultation with Mr. Ricks and was very helpful and polite during the entire time. She also patiently answered all my questions and was very responsive during the entire time. I said in the beginning that I can’t express my gratitude to them both. I am indeed praying to God that he helps them and bless them as they have helped me.

I must state that Ethymios Katsarelis is the finest professional and most personable attorney I have met in my many years of legal wrangling, both criminal and civil. He defended and counseled, my godson, a young Purple Heart, Iraq War veteran, through a serious criminal litigation and multiple unjust felony charges with compassion and honestly beyond our greatest expectations. Our family is profoundly grateful for the phenomenal work he provided in this difficult situation that resulted in a dismissal. I cannot begin to express the joy and relief I saw on the face of my godson when he heard the good news from Mr. Katsarelis. The emotional toil had been devastating to him, being charged with something he did not do, nor would ever consider doing. Understanding this young man’s depression, distress, and anxiety, Mr. Katsarelis consoled, counseled, and encouraged him to believe in himself and to maintain his hope for justice every step of the way. This case required four court appearances, four office conferences, and many, many exchanges of emails, texts, and calls, all within a period of six months. His staff is exceptional. All questions and concerns were answered immediately, if not, then the next morning. Reviews of the Discovery and Police Cams were scrutinized and examined and discussed to the smallest details.The exceptional work and competence of his paralegal, Jasmine, reflected the professionalism of the entire staff. My godson would not take a plea. He was innocent and firmly believed he had no choice but to take his case to trial. Mr Katsarelis informed and educated him on the seriousness of that decision and its possible very negative outcomes. Once accepting that my godson understood the consequences of his decision to go to trial, Mr. Katsarelis began to school and instruct him on how to conduct himself before a judge, how to face the jury, and how to deal with the prosecution’s interrogations during a trial. Instilling a sense of confidence and determination in my godson that I had not seen since he had returned from Iraq without his legs. I must say, if anyone reading this is fortunate enough to have Mr. Katsarelis accept a case in their defense, they will have an attorney that will believe in them and walk the walk with them. He is a gentleman of impeccable character, spirited determination, and most importantly, a man of his word. He is a skilled negotiator and understands the psychology of a defendant’s plight and a prosecutor’s passion. He seeks the truth to determine the effort needed to adjudicate a case for the best possible outcome. Do not lie to him, it will be to your detriment. You will find him to be a compassionate, non-judgmental, insightful human being with a vast experience and knowledge of judicial proceedings. His expertise is matched only by his associates or his wife’s exceptional legal acumen. In the many different interactions at the office and courtroom, I was able to observe and spoke with several of his team members. I found each one to be articulate, informed, and a staunch defender of their client’s interests and rights. In my opinion, I have no doubt the Katsarelis Law Firm is the finest and most trustworthy law firm in all of Arizona.

Look no further ; so much great things to say about this law office; Mr. Efthymios Katsarelis took my case the end of last year. I honestly thought I was going back to prison. Yes I said back ! I have priors and I have been to prison I got out in 2022; unfortunately, picked up an assault felony case in 2025. My first plea was prison only. Although, I have been to prison before, I was pretty scared and upset because since I’ve been out, I have changed my life around. All I’ve done is work and remain sober. Mr. Katsarelis told me to first, remain patient; he assured me that I will not go back to prison Because I do not belong there, he said he will fight for me and he did. Finally, he got the prosecutors to agree for a probation plea. I couldn’t be more grateful for Mr. Katsarelis and his team. One more thing, if I ever needed to speak to Mr. Katsarelis And he was away from his office, I would leave a message to divine or his paralegal jasmine and He will call me back that same day, even if he was busy, he would make time .

Our family had an exceptional experience with Katsarelis Law during a very challenging time. My brother was facing drug-related charges in Cochise County. Attorney Efthymios Katsarelis’s familiarity with the county’s unique practices and procedures proved to be a tremendous advantage throughout the entire process. My family and I remained actively involved, and the firm was both professional and compassionate in welcoming our participation. They valued our family dynamic and even used that connection to help with his case. From the very beginning, Attorney Efthymios Katsarelis was forthright and transparent with both my brother and our family. He provided honest, realistic guidance without sugar coating the situation, which we greatly appreciated. His integrity and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident at every step. I would also like to acknowledge Divine Harclerode, one of the firm’s paralegals, whose knowledge, responsiveness and professionalism made a significant difference. She was consistently patient, understanding, and quick to address any questions or concerns we had. While I hope never to need this type of legal representation again, I would not hesitate to recommend Katsarelis Law to anyone seeking a skilled, ethical, and dedicated criminal defense team. They are truly worth every penny.

I would highly recommend Katsarelis Law to anyone in need of a defense attorney. Efthymios Katsarelis and his team are absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, they made the entire process very easy and supported me through one of the most difficult times of my life. Their knowledge, experience, and attention to detail were evident throughout my case. They are honest, highly professional, and consistently respond in a timely manner. Every question I had was answered clearly and thoroughly, and they took the time to explain all available options so I could make informed decisions. The team was compassionate, respectful, and truly dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome. They assisted me with anything I needed and guided me step by step, which gave me confidence and peace of mind during a very stressful situation. I am extremely grateful for their hard work, commitment, and outstanding representation.
