Dodge & Vega, PLC provides skilled legal representation in a wide variety of criminal matters. These areas require precise legal knowledge, strategic defense planning, and an attorney who will advocate on your behalf at every phase of the case.
Here is an overview of the criminal defense matters we handle and how we can assist you:
Driving under the influence carries serious penalties in Arizona, including license suspension, fines, and jail time in repeat or aggravated cases. Our Arizona DUI defense attorneys will investigate the breath and blood testing protocols, challenge any improper procedures, and protect your driving privileges where possible.
Time is critical after a DUI arrest. From the moment you’re charged, the clock starts ticking on the deadlines that affect your license, your ability to contest the charges, and your long-term record. Acting quickly with experienced legal guidance gives you the best chance to protect your driving privileges and begin building your defense.
Violations involving physical harm or threats to a household member are prosecuted aggressively in Arizona. A conviction can affect child custody, employment, and personal freedom. An experienced attorney can review police reports, evaluate evidence, and develop defenses that may reduce or dismiss charges.
This includes possession, distribution, trafficking, and cultivation. Arizona law classifies drug crimes by substance type and quantity. A knowledgeable lawyer can challenge search-and-seizure issues, negotiate reduced charges, or seek alternative sentencing when appropriate.
These offenses involve fraud, theft by deception, embezzlement, or other financial misconduct. Because they often involve complex documentation and forensic investigation, specialized legal help is critical. We can analyse the evidence, identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s claims, and create a strategic defense.
Even seemingly minor traffic offenses can lead to fines, points on your driver’s license, and higher insurance rates. An attorney can negotiate with the prosecutors for reduced charges, alternatives to court appearances, and help minimize the impact on your record.
These include charges such as assault, armed offenses, and other crimes involving alleged harm or threats. Defense in violent crime cases often requires thorough motion practice, evidence review, and negotiation with prosecutors. An attorney from our law firm can ensure your rights are defended at every stage, from arraignment through trial, if necessary.

Every divorce is unique, with their own set of challenges and obstacles to overcome. Our family law attorneys fight for your rights every step of the way, from property division to child custody, spousal support, and more.
Legal Separation: For those who don’t want a divorce but no longer wish to live as husband and wife, legal separation is an option. This is typically reserved for those wishing to maintain either financial, medical, or other benefits associated with the marriage, or those who do not wish to divorce for religious reasons. Child support, custody, and division of assets will still need to be addressed as with a full divorce.
Contested Divorce: If both parties are unable to agree on any aspect of the divorce, it is considered a contested divorce. You will present your case to the courts, and they will make a judgment regarding the issues you are unable to agree upon, whether that be asset division, custody, or support. It is vital you have quality representation to best protect your interests during contested divorce proceedings.
Uncontested Divorce: One of the least expensive and fastest methods of divorce, uncontested divorce occurs when both spouses are able to agree upon all issues surrounding their split. We are talented negotiators that know how to best support you during this process so you get the best possible results.
Property & Asset Division: When dealing with divorce, one of the most complex components is the division of assets and property. There may be shared property, individual property, business assets, assets protected by partnerships or pre/ postnuptial agreements. We assist you in protecting your most important assets, and help you understand how other assets can be used as a bargaining chip.
Prenuptial Agreements: Looking to effectively protect your hard-earned assets from potential future divorce? We not only create effective official agreements that protect your interests, we also understand how to tactfully approach the topic to best protect feelings as well.
If your divorce involves children, this is probably the most highly contested and important aspect of your case. It is important to reach a balance that allows you ample time to build a relationship with your children, while still providing them the opportunity to build a loving relationship with the other parent as well, if in the best interests of the child. Our Arizona child custody attorneys are here for you.
Custody Enforcement: If you have an existing custody agreement in place that is not being upheld, we can support you in enforcing your current custody arrangements so you get the access to your children that you deserve.
Custody Modification: Has your work schedule been modified or do you have other issues that make it challenging for you to meet your current custody arrangements? We can assist with child custody modification, working with the other parent and the courts to put a new plan in place that meets your changing lifestyle and needs.
Child Support AttorneysDepending on your situation, you may be seeking or contesting a child support claim. We understand how child support is determined and how your financial well-being plays a role in your support responsibility. We can build a compelling case for you.
Spousal Support: If you your quality of life will be greatly impacted by a divorce, leaving you without sufficient means to care for yourself, you may be eligible to receive spousal support or alimony. If you are the primary breadwinner in your family, you may find yourself in a position where you will be responsible for paying spousal support. We can help you understand where you fit in the puzzle, and what you can expect throughout the entire divorce process.
