About the firm

Former prosecutors. Now on your side.

We spent years building cases for the state. Now we use what we learned to take them apart.

Our story

We know how the other side builds a case.

Nora Calder and James Voss met as deputy county attorneys in Maricopa County. In 2014 they opened a defense practice built on one idea: know the prosecution's playbook better than the prosecution does.

Today the firm defends hundreds of people a year, from first-time DUI charges to complex federal investigations, with the same attorneys handling a case from first call to final hearing.
