THE LAW OFFICE OF TRENT R. BUCKALLEW, P.C. is a professional corporation engaged in the practice of law and is committed to the defense of individuals charged with a crime. The firm focuses its scope of representation on matters involving criminal litigation, including (but not limited to) allegations of driving while under the influence (DUI/DWI), all felony and misdemeanor criminal charges, juvenile matters , drug offenses, assault and violent offenses, sex offenses, property crimes, murder/homicide charges, criminal traffic violations , white collar crimes and probation/parole violation matters. The firm maintains a statewide practice and can represent individuals in any court --including City Courts, Municipal Courts, Justice Courts and Superior Courts -- throughout the State of Arizona.
Mr. Buckallew has extensive experience as a criminal defense attorney, having handled criminal cases at all stages of the criminal process including initial appearances, preliminary hearings, arraignments, pre-trial conferences, settlement conferences, trial management conferences, bench trials and jury trials throughout the State of Arizona. Mr. Buckallew has a reputation for zealously defending each and every one of his clients. He is not only well versed in criminal law, having earned his law degree (J.D.) from California Western School of Law, where his academic concentration was in criminal litigation, he also holds a Masters of Forensic Science (M.F.S.) degree and is an Associate Member of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Having an attorney trained in both the law and forensic science is critical given the growing importance of forensic science in criminal litigation. Whether it is a misdemeanor DUI, simple drug possession, or a major homicide case, forensic science will likely play a significant role in your case. Having an attorney who understands the complexity of the science behind the evidence, including the potential weaknesses of the scientific evidence in your case, can help ensure that you are properly represented and defended in court.
Mr. Buckallew is committed to providing a thorough and aggressive defense for each and every client. This includes: 1) Ensuring that the client understands his/her rights, 2) Making sure the client knows what to expect throughout the various stages of his/her case, 3) Making certain that the client’s Constitutional rights are not violated at any point throughout the criminal process, 4) Conducting a thorough investigation of the facts, including physical evidence review and retesting, acquiring documentary and demonstrative evidence, witness interviews (including law enforcement and other relevant witnesses) and litigating pre-trial discovery (access to evidence) issues, as needed, 5) Aggressive litigation of any and all relevant pre-trial motions, and, 6) Diligently pursuing each case on a parallel path that includes pre-trial preparation for the purpose of trial, while simultaneously pursuing fruitful avenues leading towards a favorable and acceptable settlement of the case without the need for trial. This comprehensive approach to criminal defense representation best serves the client by insuring that if the case does proceed to trial, the client is in the best possible position to advance his/her strongest defense, while at the same time placing the client in the strongest possible negotiating position during settlement discussions.
In addition to criminal law matters, the firm also handles civil cases involving matters of involuntary commitment proceedings under Title 36 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, extradition proceedings under Title 13 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, parole violation proceedings before the Arizona Department of Corrections, and petitions for executive clemency for individuals currently incarcerated in the state prison system.
