Common Questions

What types of cases does Nova Law Group handle?

Nova Law Group is a Phoenix trial firm built around criminal defense. We handle felony and misdemeanor charges across Maricopa County, including DUI, drug charges, assault, domestic violence, theft and shoplifting, probation violations, white collar allegations, sex crimes, homicide, and federal charges. Alongside that, we take on orders of protection and injunctions against harassment, professional license defense, business and contract disputes, defamation, juvenile matters, post-conviction relief and appeals, and personal injury. If you are not sure whether your situation fits, call and ask. We would rather point you in the right direction than leave you guessing.

I was just arrested in Maricopa County. What should I do right now?

Stop talking about the case. You have the right to remain silent and the right to a lawyer, and using both is not an admission of anything; it is the single most protective thing you can do. Do not explain, do not try to talk your way out of it, and do not discuss the facts over a jail phone line, which is recorded. Write down everything you remember while it is fresh: who was there, what was said, what time it happened. Then get a lawyer involved before your initial appearance or arraignment, because the earliest decisions in a case often shape everything that follows.

How much does it cost to hire Nova Law Group?

Criminal cases are handled on a flat fee, so you know the cost up front instead of watching a clock. The amount depends on the charge, the court, and how far the case is likely to go. A misdemeanor resolved early and a felony headed for trial are not the same amount of work. Our other practice areas, including civil litigation and license defense, are billed hourly. Personal injury is handled on contingency, which means no cost to you unless we recover. Consultations are free, and we will give you a straight answer about cost before you commit to anything.

What happens when I call?

Our intake team answers, takes down the basics of your situation, and gets you scheduled with an attorney. That first conversation is free. We keep it in plain language: what you are charged with, what it actually carries, what the next few weeks look like, and what we would do about it. There is no pressure to hire us on the spot. We also have an after-hours answering service, so a call outside business hours does not go into a void, though we cannot promise an attorney is reachable at every hour of the night.

What changes when I hire Nova Law Group?

Attention changes. We keep our caseload deliberately low, which means your file gets real hours from real lawyers instead of a few minutes between hearings. More than one attorney is genuinely engaged with every case we take, so nothing rides on a single calendar or a single read of the facts. We are persistent. We push on the evidence, on the disclosure, on the plea offer, and we keep pushing after most lawyers would have stopped. We prepare cases to be tried, and prosecutors negotiate differently with a firm that means it. And we do all of it without treating you like a case number, because the person on the other side of this is scared and deserves to be talked to like an adult. No lawyer can promise you an outcome. What we can promise is that your case gets fought.
