Does DM Cantor go to Jury Trial regularly (and win)?

  • If you go to www.dmcantor.com and click on Jury Trial Victories, you will see over 161 of our Complete Jury Trial Acquittals (i.e. not guilty – All charges) listed with dates and courts.  No other Arizona Law Firm lists more than 16 Complete Jury Trial Acquittals on their website.*
  • “Dismissed” and “Reduced Charge” claims are not the same as a Jury saying “Not Guilty – All Charges!”  Some lawyers can occasionally receive dismissals and charge reductions (we have thousands), but very few can regularly achieve Complete Jury Trial Acquittals!

Did the Jury Trial Victories which DM Cantor claims actually occur while the winning lawyer was employed by that DM Cantor – or did they occur while the lawyer was employed elsewhere?

  • Unlike other law firms, our listed victories are won by our very own lawyers. Every victory listed on our website occurred while the attorney was employed at DM Cantor – not when the lawyer was employed elsewhere (possibly out-of-state).
  • Remember – Leadership and a Culture of Quality begins and flows from the top down!
