The Gillespie Law Firm hopes to hear from you, but we recognize that many lawyers in the area can give you sound advice and a capable DUI defense. The information here gives you some points to think about while choosing among several qualified attorneys:
Experience. Will your lawyer have a thorough familiarity with the law and practice of DUI defense based on actual experience? Craig Gillespie has practiced law in Arizona for 20 years, with five years of experience focused on the prosecution of felony and misdemeanor DUI cases in Pinal County, Phoenix and Chandler. Since opening his own office, his practice has been limited primarily to DUI and criminal defense.
Credentials. Craig Gillespie and The Gillespie Law Firm hold the AV rating* under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review system, and both are listed in the Bar Registry of Preeminent Lawyers, Criminal Trial Section. Craig Gillespie is also a certified criminal law specialist under standards established by the State Bar of Arizona.

Record of Success. Our firm's ability to achieve favorable outcomes through investigation, negotiation or trial in different defense situations is fully detailed under the Case Results section of this Web site.
Personal Attention. A distinguishing characteristic of our firm's work is our close interaction with our clients through all stages of the case. We not only work through a complete client interview at the beginning of the case, but we review essential evidence and options with each client as the case develops.
We believe that even the best DUI defense advice will be ineffective unless the client fully understands the strengths and weaknesses of the case, the choice between trial and a guilty plea, and the consequences of each realistic option. We take the time to make sure that each client gets the full benefit of our counsel.
