About

 As a former state and federal prosecutor, I understand how the other side thinks and works. I also understand the difficult situation you're in if you've been charged with a crime. I'm here to help you get out of that difficult situation with minimal negative consequences. I believe that justice can only be consistently achieved if the accused has representation that is at least on par with, if not superior to the accuser. I am certified by the State Bar of Arizona as a specialist in criminal law and I have extensive trial experience (well over 100 jury trials), but I am constantly working to improve. I grew up in Tucson and graduated from the University of Arizona College of Law in 1997. I then clerked for a Pima County Superior Court Judge and subsequently joined the Pima County Attorney's Office as a Deputy County Attorney. As a Deputy County Attorney, I prosecuted a wide range of cases, including DUI, narcotics offenses, property crimes, violent felonies, and homicides. After four years at the Pima County Attorney’s Office, I spent three years at the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.  As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, I prosecuted a variety of crimes, primarily related to drug trafficking, alien smuggling, and child pornography.  I also spent nearly two years in the appellate unit, writing numerous appellate briefs on behalf of the government and arguing them in front of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.   In 2005, I left the United States Attorney's Office to start the law firm of Leonardo & Roach, LLC, where I focused on criminal defense and personal injury cases. In 2009, I founded Leonardo Law Offices, PLLC in an effort to provide a greater degree of service and personal attention to my client's and their cases.Although I can't guarantee any particular result (no honest attorney can), I always work hard for my clients to get them the best outcome. I charge a reasonable flat fee in DUI and criminal cases so there are no hidden costs. I can often offer some flexibility with a limited payment plan if necessary.When I started in private practice, I found that my experience building cases as a prosecutor translated nicely into the area of personal injury law. Just as a criminal defendant faces the power and unlimited resources of the government, an injury victim must contend with a large, well-funded insurance company and its high-priced attorneys. I enjoy being the underdog and I like to think that I can help level the playing field in these situations. In accident/injury cases, I work on a contingency fee basis so you don't pay anything up front. The fee is taken out of any settlement or award if and when we win the case.If you're a good person who's found yourself in a bad situation -- whether you've been charged with a crime or injured as a result of someone else's negligence -- give me a call.

Here's my as condensed as possible testimony about Nathan Leonardo. I had zero criminal history prior to finding myself in a very serious criminal case. Since I do not live in Arizona (I'm on the east coast) and was facing 9 felony charges, a few of which were mandatory prison sentences, I needed the absolute best attorney Tucson had to offer. Trust me, my family and I searched, interviewed and discussed several attorneys to represent me and my freedom. It was instant after talking with Nathan that we knew he was the #1 choice. Besides his stellar experience, reviews and strong recommendations from other competent attorneys, Nathan's communication and approach was comforting right from the beginning which made a tough decision easy. I quickly realized how important it was to have such an experienced and known attorney in the court that was seeing my case. I was extradited from the east coast and arrived in Arizona (having zero ties or any status in this community) to face a $75k bail set. The moment I was seen by a judge, I was immediately released without bail and was given permission to return to my home state for the duration of my case. It is 100% without a doubt that with Nathan representing me, the court trusted my cooperation with returning across country for court as needed with no bail securing me. That trust was based on Nathan's background and history solely. I could've been stuck in a state I do not live in for the duration of the case on top of getting a bail bond for $75k for the 16 months this case lasted. A long 16 months of calls, appearances, conferences and negotiations. If convicted, I was facing around 10 years prison for all charges. So I trusted Nathan to do what he does best. He kept me well informed of every detail all along every step of the way while giving me excellent and experienced advice. Even went above and beyond what I hired him to do with a couple issues that were indirectly related to the case. Nathan did not have to do anything more than what his job was for me but he did so anyways with willingness. Nathan was never pushy or aggressive with me in any of his recommendations and always made me feel comfortable with decision making. He was accurate with every bit of his advice. After a lengthy and complicated case with a previously declined by me 4 year prison plea deal, Nathan was able to avoid a complicated trial and secure me a probation available 1 count only plea deal with me being able to serve the term in my home state should the judge deem appropriate. And the judge did! I was given a 4 year probation sentence with the ability to have it terminated at 50% time served. I have to believe that Nathan had to have some influence on this decision too. This was/is a major and horrific experience and I was able to find some kind of peace throughout, knowing I was being represented by the best. I know this is a lot to read but it is well deserved and I hope I am able to help someone else make the right choice for the best representation in a difficult situation. If you find yourself in a criminal matter that is jeopardizing your freedom, rest assured knowing that you will get the best possible outcome with Mr. Leonardo. He is worth every penny of his reasonable fees. I am extremely happy with my choice and my outcome. You will be too.

Nathan Leonardo represented me throughout my DUI experience including trial. I could not have hired a better attorney! His fees were reasonable and he advised me about the process from beginning to end. Having never had any legal issues in the past, this was a traumatic experience for me. Being a healthcare professional, I was worried about the impact on my license and future career. Mr. Leonardo walked me through all the steps and utilized a case portal so I had access to all documentation and could follow along with progress made during the case. During trial, Mr. Leonardo's aggressive representation was sufficient to prove my innocence! After a year-long ordeal of hearings, the case was dismissed. I cannot thank him enough!!!

If you find yourself in a situation like I was a few months ago, scrolling through a sea of attorneys online, it can be overwhelming. I met with a number of Tucson area lawyers before my consultation with Nathan. I was immediately sold! He gave a clear outline of his strategy and possible outcomes of my case. Some attorneys promise you the moon until you hand them a check- my experience with Mr. Leonardo was the complete opposite. He kept in contact with regular updates both by phone and his secure online portal. Always easy to reach if I had any questions or concerns- a consummate professional through and through. The outcome of my case was the best case scenario- a dismissal! More than I had expected considering the charges against me. His rates are very reasonable compared to several other lawyers I consulted with, and it was truly worth EVERY penny. I would urge anyone seeking representation to give Nathan a call. I’ve never had a more positive experience with a legal professional.

My fiancé recommended I hire an attorney but the case should’ve been dismissed and I was already 1 year of it not being resolved a simple trespass and disorderly conduct. He didn’t think he would be of much service but I explained I was really frustrated because on my own I’d gotten nowhere so he agreed and took over. Needless to say I was relived and before long he resolved all my legal battle to my delight! I’m so thankful I decided to let an expert handle my problem. Godbless you Nathan Leonardo!

Nathan was amazing to work with after I found myself in some legal trouble. I'm a nurse and I was terrified but he communicated with me throughout the entire experience and made me so much more comfortable with everything. Things worked out much better than I anticipated thanks to Nathan I highly recommend him!

I received a summons in early April of this year, 2020 to appear in June at County Justice Court for an incident that occurred eight months earlier (August,2019) and for which I had thought was not going to result in having charges filed or made against me. I had spoken to a lawyer friend many months earlier about the incident and asked about lawyers I had made contact with shortly after the August incident. I remembered having spoken on the phone with Mr. Nathan Leonardo just days after the incident and remembered his being more informative, knowledgeable, professional, and sympathetic to my circumstances than any of the several other attorneys I had spoken with. My (lawyer) friend affirmed that Mr. Leonardo was an excellent attorney. When I received the summons in April, I immediately called Leonardo Law Offices and was able to speak with Mr. Leonardo the same morning. I was emailed a Representation Agreement with all of the specific details and services of the firm's representation and responsibilities. I made payment immediately and Mr. Leonardo represented me the following day at the Consolidated Justice Court taking charge of all further proceedings as my representative. He addressed the matter of a scheduled upcoming appearance and two other procedures that morning. I felt some relief and hopefulness in his apparent professionalism. This began the arduous, very painful, unsettling,and emotionally disruptive series of necessary steps of the law procedures that every person must endure in order to defend oneself. I would positively advise anyone/everyone not to attempt to defend yourself. Leonardo Law Offices offered me and provided me with continual and frequent advice to my questions, explanations of the procedures, options that we may or may not have, and personal optimism which was not required by my legal counsel but was very much appreciated. I was in real peril of this case affecting my employment, my freedom, and my overall well-being had it gone badly. Mr. Leonardo and I were able to maintain an ongoing conversation (via email, phone contact and in person) of all of the aspects and details of the court case and of his knowledgeable insight into the expectations and probabilities of acceptable/favorable outcomes and finalization and closing of the case. This process lasted four months which may seem like a short period to others but seemed like an eternity to me. It dominated my thinking and was entirely stressful. Mr. Leonardo was able to handle all procedural phases and directives of the court professionally and used excellent expertise in communicating with the case prosecution attorneys in negotiating and obtaining an acceptable and livable outcome for my case. I am very relieved and exceptionally grateful to Nathan Leonardo and Leonardo Law Offices that the case has closed.

I needed an attorney as soon as possible because i knew my case was not gonna be easy, I was being falsely charge with a hit and run even thought i had proof that wasn't true, i was represented better than i could ever imagine by Nathan Leonardo. Honesty Integrity Transparency i knew he was the right attorney, he took all the weight i had on my shoulders Words cannot describe how grateful i am!!!! He took my case from the City Court to Appeal to the Superior Court i thank him for every effort he had with my case it was a process but he sure cleared my name for what i didn't do. If you are looking for an attorney i would definitely and highly recommend Mr. Leonardo very Professional and no need to look further all the attention to your case all my questions answer i am more than happy with the outcome i would hire him again.

I am very thankful i decided to go with Leonardo Law Offices. When i was first looking for somebody to represent me i had originally met with 2 different lawyers for my DUI and they did not feel as confident in my case as Nathan did. It is hard to choose a lawyer for representation especially if you never had one in the past. After moving forward with Nathan he explained everything to me upfront including the cost and informed me of the possible outcomes. His client portal makes everything easier and keeps all your paperwork organized. He was also able to handle my situation while i was out of state and got my case completely dropped. I will be using Nathan in the future if i ever need him again and recommend him to anybody needing representation.

I hired Nathan D Leonardo to defend me for my DUI case back in Nov 7, 2017 from the moment we spoke he Instantly made me feel better especially since I had never been in any kind of trouble with the law. He answer all my questions all the time plus he was easy to get ahold of. Nathan was able to find evidence and good arguments which made my decision easier to take my case to trial, Which I was found NOT GUILTY. He's an outstanding lawyer and very professional I highly recommend him.

Here's my as condensed as possible testimony about Nathan Leonardo. I had zero criminal history prior to finding myself in a very serious criminal case. Since I do not live in Arizona (I'm on the east coast) and was facing 9 felony charges, a few of which were mandatory prison sentences, I needed the absolute best attorney Tucson had to offer. Trust me, my family and I searched, interviewed and discussed several attorneys to represent me and my freedom. It was instant after talking with Nathan that we knew he was the #1 choice. Besides his stellar experience, reviews and strong recommendations from other competent attorneys, Nathan's communication and approach was comforting right from the beginning which made a tough decision easy. I quickly realized how important it was to have such an experienced and known attorney in the court that was seeing my case. I was extradited from the east coast and arrived in Arizona (having zero ties or any status in this community) to face a $75k bail set. The moment I was seen by a judge, I was immediately released without bail and was given permission to return to my home state for the duration of my case. It is 100% without a doubt that with Nathan representing me, the court trusted my cooperation with returning across country for court as needed with no bail securing me. That trust was based on Nathan's background and history solely. I could've been stuck in a state I do not live in for the duration of the case on top of getting a bail bond for $75k for the 16 months this case lasted. A long 16 months of calls, appearances, conferences and negotiations. If convicted, I was facing around 10 years prison for all charges. So I trusted Nathan to do what he does best. He kept me well informed of every detail all along every step of the way while giving me excellent and experienced advice. Even went above and beyond what I hired him to do with a couple issues that were indirectly related to the case. Nathan did not have to do anything more than what his job was for me but he did so anyways with willingness. Nathan was never pushy or aggressive with me in any of his recommendations and always made me feel comfortable with decision making. He was accurate with every bit of his advice. After a lengthy and complicated case with a previously declined by me 4 year prison plea deal, Nathan was able to avoid a complicated trial and secure me a probation available 1 count only plea deal with me being able to serve the term in my home state should the judge deem appropriate. And the judge did! I was given a 4 year probation sentence with the ability to have it terminated at 50% time served. I have to believe that Nathan had to have some influence on this decision too. This was/is a major and horrific experience and I was able to find some kind of peace throughout, knowing I was being represented by the best. I know this is a lot to read but it is well deserved and I hope I am able to help someone else make the right choice for the best representation in a difficult situation. If you find yourself in a criminal matter that is jeopardizing your freedom, rest assured knowing that you will get the best possible outcome with Mr. Leonardo. He is worth every penny of his reasonable fees. I am extremely happy with my choice and my outcome. You will be too.

Nathan Leonardo represented me throughout my DUI experience including trial. I could not have hired a better attorney! His fees were reasonable and he advised me about the process from beginning to end. Having never had any legal issues in the past, this was a traumatic experience for me. Being a healthcare professional, I was worried about the impact on my license and future career. Mr. Leonardo walked me through all the steps and utilized a case portal so I had access to all documentation and could follow along with progress made during the case. During trial, Mr. Leonardo's aggressive representation was sufficient to prove my innocence! After a year-long ordeal of hearings, the case was dismissed. I cannot thank him enough!!!

If you find yourself in a situation like I was a few months ago, scrolling through a sea of attorneys online, it can be overwhelming. I met with a number of Tucson area lawyers before my consultation with Nathan. I was immediately sold! He gave a clear outline of his strategy and possible outcomes of my case. Some attorneys promise you the moon until you hand them a check- my experience with Mr. Leonardo was the complete opposite. He kept in contact with regular updates both by phone and his secure online portal. Always easy to reach if I had any questions or concerns- a consummate professional through and through. The outcome of my case was the best case scenario- a dismissal! More than I had expected considering the charges against me. His rates are very reasonable compared to several other lawyers I consulted with, and it was truly worth EVERY penny. I would urge anyone seeking representation to give Nathan a call. I’ve never had a more positive experience with a legal professional.

My fiancé recommended I hire an attorney but the case should’ve been dismissed and I was already 1 year of it not being resolved a simple trespass and disorderly conduct. He didn’t think he would be of much service but I explained I was really frustrated because on my own I’d gotten nowhere so he agreed and took over. Needless to say I was relived and before long he resolved all my legal battle to my delight! I’m so thankful I decided to let an expert handle my problem. Godbless you Nathan Leonardo!

Nathan was amazing to work with after I found myself in some legal trouble. I'm a nurse and I was terrified but he communicated with me throughout the entire experience and made me so much more comfortable with everything. Things worked out much better than I anticipated thanks to Nathan I highly recommend him!

I received a summons in early April of this year, 2020 to appear in June at County Justice Court for an incident that occurred eight months earlier (August,2019) and for which I had thought was not going to result in having charges filed or made against me. I had spoken to a lawyer friend many months earlier about the incident and asked about lawyers I had made contact with shortly after the August incident. I remembered having spoken on the phone with Mr. Nathan Leonardo just days after the incident and remembered his being more informative, knowledgeable, professional, and sympathetic to my circumstances than any of the several other attorneys I had spoken with. My (lawyer) friend affirmed that Mr. Leonardo was an excellent attorney. When I received the summons in April, I immediately called Leonardo Law Offices and was able to speak with Mr. Leonardo the same morning. I was emailed a Representation Agreement with all of the specific details and services of the firm's representation and responsibilities. I made payment immediately and Mr. Leonardo represented me the following day at the Consolidated Justice Court taking charge of all further proceedings as my representative. He addressed the matter of a scheduled upcoming appearance and two other procedures that morning. I felt some relief and hopefulness in his apparent professionalism. This began the arduous, very painful, unsettling,and emotionally disruptive series of necessary steps of the law procedures that every person must endure in order to defend oneself. I would positively advise anyone/everyone not to attempt to defend yourself. Leonardo Law Offices offered me and provided me with continual and frequent advice to my questions, explanations of the procedures, options that we may or may not have, and personal optimism which was not required by my legal counsel but was very much appreciated. I was in real peril of this case affecting my employment, my freedom, and my overall well-being had it gone badly. Mr. Leonardo and I were able to maintain an ongoing conversation (via email, phone contact and in person) of all of the aspects and details of the court case and of his knowledgeable insight into the expectations and probabilities of acceptable/favorable outcomes and finalization and closing of the case. This process lasted four months which may seem like a short period to others but seemed like an eternity to me. It dominated my thinking and was entirely stressful. Mr. Leonardo was able to handle all procedural phases and directives of the court professionally and used excellent expertise in communicating with the case prosecution attorneys in negotiating and obtaining an acceptable and livable outcome for my case. I am very relieved and exceptionally grateful to Nathan Leonardo and Leonardo Law Offices that the case has closed.

I needed an attorney as soon as possible because i knew my case was not gonna be easy, I was being falsely charge with a hit and run even thought i had proof that wasn't true, i was represented better than i could ever imagine by Nathan Leonardo. Honesty Integrity Transparency i knew he was the right attorney, he took all the weight i had on my shoulders Words cannot describe how grateful i am!!!! He took my case from the City Court to Appeal to the Superior Court i thank him for every effort he had with my case it was a process but he sure cleared my name for what i didn't do. If you are looking for an attorney i would definitely and highly recommend Mr. Leonardo very Professional and no need to look further all the attention to your case all my questions answer i am more than happy with the outcome i would hire him again.

I am very thankful i decided to go with Leonardo Law Offices. When i was first looking for somebody to represent me i had originally met with 2 different lawyers for my DUI and they did not feel as confident in my case as Nathan did. It is hard to choose a lawyer for representation especially if you never had one in the past. After moving forward with Nathan he explained everything to me upfront including the cost and informed me of the possible outcomes. His client portal makes everything easier and keeps all your paperwork organized. He was also able to handle my situation while i was out of state and got my case completely dropped. I will be using Nathan in the future if i ever need him again and recommend him to anybody needing representation.

I spoke to 2 other lawyers before contacting Nathan Leonardo and was very satisfied with decision. Even with first conversation over the phone, he was very informative and forthcoming with outcome. He always kept me up to date with decisions and court dates. I was totally unaware of proceedings and steps to take, I will forever be grateful for my outcome and highly recommend Nathan Leonardo.
