I was so lucky to find Arja Shah and have her take my case. I was completely stressed out. Her confidence and support through the process was so appreciated. Thank you!
First off, I would like to say that after a bad experience with another attorney who almost completely botched my case, Arja came in as a super hero! I explained the entire situation and where the other firm failed, she picked up the reigns and crushed it. Not only did she find discrepancies in the charges, she was able to get the entire case dismissed! I owe her my life.... Don't make the mistake I did thinking that another attorney "could" do better... Hire Arja!
I and Arja had worked with me and my case, from out of state and was able to get my case dismissed. I am very pleased with her professionalism and capabilities
All I can say is that Arja knows her stuff! Instead of getting the book thrown, she fought back and WON! Something that would have been life changing is now in the past. I am forever grateful!
I received a plea deal for an accident related case and it was a shock to me. I was looking at a serious jail time. I decided to switch my lawyers to get a better plea and started to look around. I accidentally got in contact with Arja Shah regarding my case and it was the best thing happened. After couple of discussions, we got Arja onboard and it was one of the best decisions in my life. Arja was always on top of the case. She is very empathetic, honest and straight forward with me regarding the possibility of a better plea. She was very quick to respond on email communications and keep me posted on case updates. She skillfully struck a balance between negotiating a better plea deal and being realistic. Thanks to her knowledge and negotiation skills, after a very long time on this case, I got a better plea than I originally asked for and I am satisfied with the outcome. Thank you Arja. My family and I will always be grateful for your efforts.
A family member was facing a serious DUI charge that would have been devastating to her career and livelihood. It wasn't a malicious crime, she just made a poor decision. She suffers from depression/major anxiety and is on prescription medication. Well because that was in her system, along with a glass of wine at dinner, that was enough for Scottsdale PD to bring charges against her. After the first few minutes of talking with Arja, we could tell right away that she knew EXACTLY what she was talking about and we had tremendous confidence in her ability to fight for us. It was a daunting, and at times a little nerve-wrecking, process dealing with the MVD and the courts but in the end, Arja's expertise proved itself and she was able to get all charges reduced down to a simple traffic citation!!! We can't THANK HER enough!!
Arja Shaw and her partners have been fantastic through a very stressful time with a DUI conviction. She was able to get me an extreme to a misdemeanor plea. She and her team are very professional. You can contact her 24hrs a day and will get a response quickly. Lawyers cannot make a promise on what they can do. Arja Shaw I feel cares and works for your best interest. I will recommend her as one of the best DUI attorneys in AZ.
I had a child in my car when I was pulled over. I have never been In any sort of trouble with the law. I called a few other attorneyS and they scared the heck out of me. When I called Arja she calmed me down and told me she would try to get me a misdemeanor from the situation. She also said I probably would not have to do any other jail time. We went to court a few times and Arja sent the prosecutor a write up about me and everything I has achieved over the last year. She told them about how I had a great job and all that I was involved in the community. The prosecutor gave us a misdemeanor and I didn't have to do no more jail. I really appreciate everything Arja did and am so grateful I called her.
Was pulled over for a "suspicion of dui" by Scottsdale PD earlier in the year. After speaking with other firms and seeing the outrageous amounts they wanted to charge for a simple misdemeanor, I found Arja Shah! She broke everything down into plain terms. I don't have a law degree and wouldn't even know where to have begun if it wasn't for her. She answered all my questions, told me what to expect and how she handles everything on my behalf (especially during covid) and was a complete shark when it came to defending me! Yeah, we WON! I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney that will take the time to explain everything, be the actual attorney that works with you through the entire case AND has the expertise to win.
I was in the healthcare profession and pulled over and charged with a drug DUI. I had no clue what was going to happen and started calling several different attorneys. Arja really knew what she was talking about and started to create a defense from the get go of the case. She had me do some things that would help my case and advised me on everything that was to come. I sent her over all my documents and she started to work on everything. The process was a lengthy one where I was on pins and needles, but she called me one morning to say she got my case reduced to a reckless driving! Arja, thank you for everything you did and all your hard work.
