I will forever be grateful for what DM Cantor firm did for my family. Let me start by saying that their professionalism surpasses what I could have ever imagined from a firm. This firm professionalism starts from the receptionist all the way to the Attorneys. The integrity, honesty, and aggressiveness that the DM Cantor Team brought to the table is why today I am so happy that I chose them to represent a family member. I knew the minute I walked into their office that I made the right choice. They were sensitive to our worries and made us feel at peace. The attorneys took their time to educate my family on the criminal charges and were so patient in answering all our questions. So many times we would get nervous, but especially Mr. Joey Hamby never failed to say words of encouragement to put us at ease. I want to personally thank Mr. David Michael Cantor-Founder and Christine Whalin-Partner/Managing Attorney for overseeing our case with Mr. Joey Hamby and providing guidance to my family when needed. I am so grateful to have met both and I greatly appreciated the way your firm handle my family member's criminal case. Attorney Joey Hamby handled our case through the end as lead counsel. The comfort that he brought to my family allow us to develop a trust where we felt that he was going to do everything in his power to achieve the best result. To me, he did a miracle. I believe in miracles. And Joey Hamby was our counsel Angel. He worked so hard on our case. He never once pushed us away. Always took his time to educate us and prepared my family for every court date. He did his best to keep us calm. As a lead member of the family in the case it was so hard at times, but Mr. Hamby never failed to give word of comfort to bring me some peace. I trusted that the outcome was going to be better than what my family and I anticipated. This attorney worked tirelessly for hours, and guided and educated us with patience of an angel. Mr. Joey Hamby, your expertise as a Criminal attorney is incredible. Thank you for handling the case to the end and delivering an amazing result that we call "A Miracle." Thank you for endlessly working so hard on the case and with my family member. Thank you for all the patience you had with me in tackling all my questions and concerns. We will never forget you and I wish all the best to you, your family, and the DM Cantor Team. My family member was facing life in prison, and this firm got him no jail time. I call this a miracle. I am forever will be grateful to DM Cantor Team and Mr. Joey Hamby. I highly recommend DM Cantor firm to represent anyone on any criminal justice cases. read more

When I was arrest for domestic violence and disturbing the peace I knew my only hope was to hire an attorney. I was nervous when I first approached the law firm of David Cantor because let's face it....we have all heard the stories of lawyers being void of scruples. I met with Elizabeth Mullins and explained my story. Elizabeth was extremely polite and courteous while she listened to how the events of that night unfolded. She took extensive notes and made sure every detail leading up to my arrest had been covered. When I completed my story Elizabeth smiled and put down her pen. Suddenly this sweet, courteous and polite person turned into a crusader against injustice and became angry at how laws set-up to protect people are being misused. I knew at that instance I had a pit-bull in my corner and everything was going to be alright. Elizabeth knew the prosecutor that was assigned to my case which was also impressive (always know your opponent). She knew exactly what he was going to do before he did it. Throughout my case there was never any surprises because during our initial meeting Elizabeth was able to break down every detail, what the prosecutor would offer as a plea agreement and what the end result would be. I also need to mention that Elizabeth did not receive full cooperation from the arresting officers or the prosecution. For starters, officers would fail to appear at their deposition and the prosecution ignored requests for witnesses contact information. I thought for sure the extra expenses for filing motions, time spent trying to get depositions and other obstacles encountered would be brought up at some point. You know, those well hidden costs buried in your contract that seemingly rise up out of no where. However, it was never even mentioned because it was all part of doing business! That is when I realized this law firm is committed and focused on the pursuit of justice. Just as Elizabeth predicted in our first meeting, the charges filed against me were eventually dismissed. If I did not have one of the best attorney's in my corner there is no doubt in my mind the outcome would have been completely different. I cannot thank Elizabeth Mullins and the law firm of David Cantor enough for everything she has done for me and my family and will definitely recommend them to anyone needing help! read more

My attorney, Dominic Callese of DM Cantor, exemplified the highest standard of professional legal representation. DM Cantor is not simply a strong firm -- they operate at the elite level you want when the stakes involve your freedom, reputation, and livelihood. Their reputation as the "sharks" you need when facing overreach or serious allegations is well deserved. From the outset, Dominic was calm, thoughtful, and exceptionally capable. He focused immediately on the issues that mattered and did not dilute the defense with unnecessary distractions. He was consistently responsive, easy to communicate with, and demonstrated a clear command of both the evidence and the law. His demeanor with the jury was measured, relatable, and credible -- a combination that is rare and extremely effective. When the case went to trial, Dominic's preparation and courtroom presentation were decisive. He delivered a structured, logical, and complete defense that allowed the jury to fully understand the deficiencies in the State's case. The result was unequivocal: all seven jurors unanimously returned a Not Guilty verdict -- a full acquittal. That distinction matters. It was not a hung jury or a compromise, but total agreement from every juror. Before retaining DM Cantor, every other attorney I consulted told me my case was essentially unwinnable. Dominic did not share that defeatist view. He identified immediately that the case lacked probable cause and that a well-constructed defense could expose those issues to a jury. His work protected not only my legal standing, but also my professional reputation and self-respect -- outcomes that far exceed the cost of representation. For anyone facing serious criminal charges, DM Cantor provides the level of skill, dedication, and strategic competence required to protect your future. I recommend Dominic and DM Cantor without reservation. read more

In April 2014, our family was faced with the most unfathomable legal battle any family could ever imagine. Having never been in trouble with law enforcement for nothing more than a speeding ticket, trying to determine where to turn for a lawyer we could trust, was something that we had absolutely no experience at. Having just turned 18 years old a few months prior, our son had been arrested and charged with 30 counts and was facing over 350 years in prison. How do you navigate that? Who do you turn to when something like this happens to your family? As we were in pure panic mode when he was arrested, we paused, took a breath and looked diligently at many firms. We ultimately found our comfort and confidence in The Cantor Law Firm. Their team was professional, knowledgeable and went right to work on navigating the tangled web of chaos presented for our son's case. This wasn't an easy task, as the case had prompted local, national and ultimately, worldwide media coverage. The team of lawyers and support staff assembled to battle what appeared to be a lost battle right out of the gate, was nothing short of amazing! Michael Alarid III, who was one of the lead attorneys assigned to our son's case, did an incredible job, both inside and outside of the courtroom. His personal and hands on approach to his client was something that made all the difference in the outcome, and kept our son from serving the rest of his life in prison. Michael's work ethic and long hours vested into bringing our son home, was exactly the type of attorney we were searching for when the chaos started. We are forever indebted to The Cantor Law Firm and hope this review helps other families faced with their own legal challenges. There are countless firms available to choose from, we're thankful that we made the right choice when we selected this one. Jim and Angelique Kost read more

I am blown away by the integrity and all the hard work of Joey Hamby and the whole DM Cantor Team on behalf of me and my family. I will always be grateful for all of your efforts. You worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome and I can't thank you enough. I also wanted to thank you for the excellent work you did as my attorney. I know you have a lot of clients, so your prompt responses and attention to detail really meant a lot to me. Thank you for accepting the role of my lead counsel. Having an experienced attorney like you on our side was a good sign that we were walking into the courtroom to achieve the best result possible. I'm grateful for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. I was overwhelmed when I heard the outcome of the court proceedings. Thank you for protecting my interest and family heritage. I am so thankful for your service and professionalism. I will never forget what you have done to make sure I was given the best result. You were able to prove the case beyond any reasonable doubt and we were more than pleased with the outcome. I feel so indebted to you for your hard work. Thank you for taking the time to critically analyze the police report and crime scene. The prosecutor wanted me to spend a lifetime in prison but you were able to get probation with no jail. You're such a brilliant lawyer. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the amazing legal work you did on my behalf. Thanks for prioritizing me as a client and doing everything in your power to help me with my case. I would recommend anyone without a doubt to hire you as one of the best attorneys for criminal justice. GOD bless you Joey Hamby and your family, plus the whole DM Cantor Team. read more

I Google searched though quite few firms then picked 3 to interview. DM was the second I interviewed and the one I hired. This was a very serious charge I was facing. I was in " Pre-Charge " phrase but If arrested it carried a non-Bailable term. Meaning if the PD felt they had enough to charge I would be Incarcerated until trial, no ands if or butts, then if convicted it carried an 8 yr minimum without the possibility of early out for ANY reason. So you see the seriousness of this, right? DM's Pre-Charge fee was 800% higher than the closest next quote I got. And about even with the "if it goes to trial " quote. I chose DM because he was the only Attorney actually interested in KEEPING me from being arrested. Others just wanted a small fee and then for me to let them know when Police attempted or did arrest me!! Sorry Charlie, but by then in mind that would be too late. I hired DM and they got right on doing what they do (better to let them explain that to you in person ). David himself and Joey H worked on my behalf. They are very aggressive, knowledgable , and creative. When it was all said and done, I have paperwork in hand from the actual PD stating that the investigation was closed. I have all paperwork that the PD had, that David Michael required from them. I don't have to look over my shoulder, and anyone who has ever been put in that situation knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about. If you want the best, HIRE the best! I will use them and them only for the rest of my life for any matter that may come my way. read more

I had a post-conviction request that not all law firms in Maricopa County handled, but DM Cantor did. My situation was made a bit more unusual because I was from out of state. However, the DM Cantor attorney I consulted with assured me that it could get done and I had a good chance of succeeding. I was assigned Michael Alarid as my attorney through the process. Michael was helpful in describing what I needed to get done in order to be successful with my request. He was also mostly accurate in describing the process of what he thought would happen throughout the process including the reaction of the opposition. I was impressed with his written communications to the Court in citing precedents and laying out my request in an organized and efficient manner. Even though we did not get a chance to meet face-to-face, Michael and his assistant were mostly prompt with their communications via email or phone. On my Court date, Michael was unavailable, so my attorney that day was Joey Hamby. The handoff to Joey was smooth; he got up to speed on my case quickly. We met in the DM Cantor office prior to the Court appearance, so I felt prepared for my big day. When the opposition used seemingly unfair, last-minute tactics to deny my request, Joey kept his cool and made reasonable arguments to counteract the opposition and that helped to persuade the judge in my situation to ultimately rule in my favor. If I should ever have a legal situation in Maricopa County again, DM Cantor will be the first place I will call. read more

David Cantor's law firm is nothing short of spectacular. I have dealt with this firm on two separate occasions & have received nothing but superb attention & satisfaction. If you're in a pinch & want your voice to be heard with professional advice from years of experience, this is definitely the spot. From dealing with David, to his other colleagues, these guys just know how to handle situations & provide you with the best professional advice with realistic expectations given up front. In both cases, we were thrown many curveballs & these guys were able to keep their eyes on the ball & make things happen in my favor. I have been extremely satisfied with the outcome of both cases. As stressful as court cases / complications are from the very get go; might as well do yourself a favor & let these folks help take some food off of your plate. Never once was I treated as a number and my voice / opinions were always taken into close consideration to give myself the best chance in establishing my position throughout the entirety of both cases. To sum it all up; David Cantor's law firm is very deserving of a chance to represent you & show you their aptitude for their business. They genuinely care about their clients & will give you the best chance to amicably settle your court complications. Hope this review helps if you're on the fence. These guys are truly rockstars! Thank you both again, David & Nik, for your personal assistance in my legal complications. Regards, Julio Trejo read more

A number of months ago, I walked into their offices and told them that I had been accused of a crime I did not commit and the attorney I previously hired told me to "get use to the idea of incarceration". After speaking to Dave for about an hour he took my case and promised to represent me to the best of the firms ability. Needless to say, I was terrified of the process. I had never been in trouble before and I could not begin to understand the allegation being made by my wife (the accuser). I need honesty and someone to methodically take me through what I was experiencing. Dave assigned Elizabeth Mullins and I found her to be exactly what i needed at the time. She was honest (at times did not spare my feelings), driven and methodical. She did her homework; which was not done by the police or the previous attorney. When we got to court she was spot on and because of her skill I was exonerated Elizabeth is a rock star! I am not exaggerating when I tell you she saved my life. The company I work for is very conservative and this could of cost me job and everything I have worked for over the last 25 years. As it was, I lost my wife, my house and emotional well being. But, I have my freedom and I have been exonerated. I cannot begin to tell you how much i appreciate everything your firm for me. I pray I never end up again needing a criminal attorney. If I do, the Cantor offices is my only stop. read more

We were beyond blessed and grateful for meeting the DM CANTOR family and that we were represented by them in the past 6 years. No review would do justice to the real value of this law firm. If you think for a second anyone else in the state can get you the same results you are mistaken. No other law firm has better people to help you in your criminal matter then this one. We owe DM CANTOR our lives and we are forever grateful for the outcome. We encourage anyone that would ever be in need of a lawyer to never look anywhere else but to this elite of very knowledgeable, prepared , caring, professional, experienced team of scientists in criminal matter . There are no words out there to describe the capabilities of this law office , it would be impossible to find anyone that could present themselves at their level. There is no amount of money that can compensate for what you are getting in return from DM CANTOR and we are thanking God every day for meeting this team and they will permanently be part of our lives and prayers. Thank you DM Cantor family for what you have done for us , we are not able to show our appreciation but we will definitely try. read more

Let me begin by saying all of you who complain about the costs...what is the cost of someone who doesn't go beyond aggressive? .... I agree $ was required to get the services and it was quite a bit; however, what we received was worth EVERY $ we paid! My son's aquittal (vs. 7+ years prison) needed the best and we received that in Elizabeth Mullins with the offices of David Michael Cantor! In my sons words "not only is she hot, but she kicks a**" - as unprofessional as that sounds I apologize Elizabeth in regards to his observation of you but he is 100% correct that you kicked a** in every situation from day one for him and we are EXTREMELY grateful! Yes, I was scared, nervous, concerned and quite frankly also hesitant when it came to the cost, but after witnessing what we did in your work I am very happy we hired you. I must say when I complimented Elizabeth during the jury selection on her expertise and attention to details, she simply said with a smile - Just wait - I'm a gladiator in a suit in trial and WOW was she! No stone was left unturned in presenting facts to the jury as well as the entire process leading up to trial. THANK YOU!!!!! read more

The Attorneys and staff over at Law Offices of David Michael Cantor are just an incredible group of people, simply put! From the moment you step foot in their very beautiful and professional office (not like other firms that are shacks or renovated prehistoric houses) to the moment you leave feeling like you can save the world, you can just tell that they take care of their clients and always have the clients best interested in mind. Not to mention that they give a very thorough case evaluation for free... not just a blanket response "ya, it's going to cost this much" like the other guys... You would almost be a fool not to take them up on a free consultation... just my two cents! Don't let these "seemingly fake" negative reviews from the review trolls fool you though. I actually read through ALL the reviews on here and if you do your research, you will see that there are actually MANY 5 Star positive reviews, I think something over 45 of them? Just scroll to the bottom and you can see what I mean. Anyways, as I mentioned, I would hands-down recommend this law firm to ANYone looking for a highly experienced and aggressive law firm. read more

A family member was recently represented by Mr. Hamby at DM cantor through a very lengthy criminal trial. One word to describe Mr. Hamby is simply, "elite" He was tactical with each sentence he spoke, it was as if he knew the prosecutors next move before they even did. I learned that the state proseuctors can play as dirty as they wish from the inditement process through a jury trial, in order to get a conviction- and they go unchecked unless you have people like Mr. Hamby and the DM Cantor team on your side. Utilizing his extensive knowledge of criminal justice and expert skills, he was able to obtain a very speedy NOT GUILTY verdict. If you ever find yourself in serious trouble, you MUST get yourself serious, professional help. Do not settle for a county attorney who won't even remember your name and will only work to get you a plea. Meaning the prosecutors still win, and you still get convicted, even if you are innocent. My family cannot thank you enough Mr Hamby for all of your hard work and dedication to this case over these last 6 years. read more

My first DUI and I was scared. I contacted an attorney friend of mine who recommended the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor. Being retired from a 30 year career in aerospace I understand process management. I believe this law firm has assembled a process for defending DUI cases that will give the best possible results. After the interview with Dave Maletta my case was triaged with the firms attorneys for assignment on the basis of who will achieve the best possible success. My case was given to Michael Alared who I found to be very aggressive, knowledgeable and clever. The process took a few months before all the evidence was available for Michael to carry the case through discovery. He was able to master a defence and present a plea, on my behave, that was accepted by prosecution. I found their fee of $5000 to be very reasonable based on the seriousness of the crime. I realize every case is different but in the long run this law firm saved me from the maximum amount of expenses, time to serve and left me with peace of mind. read more

I was really hesitant to spend such a great sum of money to hire Jonathan Goebel to represent me in court for my DUI case and jury trial, but I followed my instincts and my belief that you get what you pay for. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. I was found "not guilty" on all charges, which I would call a miracle if not for Mr Goebel! Rather, I'd call him a Miracle Worker. My ruling was due 100% to Mr. Goebel's razor-sharp mind, his ability to read people, his dogged determination to cover and uncover every detail or fact that could possibly help me, and his honesty. I was most impressed with the honesty and professionalism I encountered from the Cantor group, and from Jonathan from beginning to end. These guys are well worth it. I can't begin to explain how I felt when those not-guilty jury verdicts were read; the weight of the world lifted off of my shoulders and I can honestly say it was all due to the unparalleled representation of Mr. Jonathan Goebel. read more

Wow!!! I can't overstate how incredibly thankful I am to the team of pros at DM Cantor that helped me. My attorney, Eric, and another of his associates Jonathan achieved a small miracle. Twice! Their thorough understanding of the law, procedure, the odds of pursuing one or another approach to my defense, and their ability to create a strategy and game plan for me then bring it to life, literally gave me back my freedom. Christine, a senior member of the firm and Destiny, Eric's Legal Assistant were equally impressive in the ways they made it possible for me to get the best possible counsel and outcomes. If you want the very best counsel and defense, hire The Law Offices of David Michael Cantor.. I found them using a google search, was impressed by their site and my initial call to them, and was simply blown AWAY with what they achieved for me! If you are in need of representation, I hope you read this. Then call them. They are incredible at what they do. One million "Thank you"s! KPJ read more

We could not be more satisfied with the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor. We had an amazing lawyer that was assigned to us. We were extremely impressed with our lawyer and the team. Our lawyer knew every small detail about our case. We were never misled and our lawyer never beat around the bush; He kept things very real with us. He knew exactly what he was doing and he played his cards very smart. We would highly recommend this law firm to anyone. Every single penny was worth it. It makes all the difference in the world when you have someone like our lawyer and the team at this law office fighting for you and standing by your side. We felt very safe and our rights felt protected. This was a very fearful time in our life, 60+ years in prison (worst case scenario.) Our lawyer was able to get all the charges dismissed! ALL. We can assure anyone that with this law firm by their side. The best possible outcome will be received. We are beyond great-full. read more

I recently used the law offices for my case that was tried in Tempe and dismissed. The lawyer assigned to my case was Elizabeth Mullins. I was very impressed with her skills and her team. The day I showed up to court, she was there early and prompt. She was cool, calm, and collected which helped me feel at ease. She had many case studies to back up my case, and she was organized with all of my filings. Her and her team had really put forth the effort and done their homework. She took care of me and told me the step by step process on how everything was going to go. She met with me many times before our court date whenever something new had developed with my case. If I had any questions, comments, concerns, she would write or call me back by the end of the day if I had missed her. She made me feel at ease, as well as the rest of the law firm. They really helped me out. If I ever needed a lawyer again, they would be the first law group I would call. read more

Horrible I paid $5000.00 I got a urinating in public charge. They set me up with a attorney. She didn't show up to court once. A different court date she canceled the court date and didn't notify me so I showed up stressed out and wasted my day I called off work for. I call to speak with David Michael Cantor I felt my attorney was not representing me or doing her job I was told by the managing attorney David J. Maletta I was not allowed to speak with David Michael Cantor he only deals with the big cases I would need to spend 10's of thousands of dollars for him to hear me out. Then my attorney quit mid-case I felt horrible. They assigned Elizabeth Mullins to my case so here I am sitting in her corner office hoping and praying she goes to court I lose $5000.00. I get the same exact charge I would have without a attorney. I think if you put your name on your business paying clients should have the ability to speak with you. Go somewhere else. read more
