The Feldman Law Firm, PLLC

Focus and practice areas

Criminal defense is the whole of what The Feldman Law Firm, PLLC does in Phoenix. The firm takes felony and misdemeanor matters, and it represents people charged with crimes across Arizona.

The listed work covers DUI, drug crimes, assault and other violent offenses including manslaughter, theft and burglary, sex crimes, white collar charges, weapons charges, harassment, and domestic violence. That spread stays inside one field. A DUI stop and a white collar investigation both run through Arizona criminal procedure, so the range makes sense for a defense office.

What the practice-area pages cover

The firm groups its material by offense type, with separate pages for the main categories. Someone arriving with a specific charge can find the matching page directly.

How the team is built

Adam Feldman runs the firm and founded it. The site names him as the attorney handling the work, which makes the firm's background and his background the same subject.

His education starts with a B.A. in psychology from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He then earned a J.D., cum laude, from the University of Miami School of Law. Psychology is a useful undergraduate base for criminal work, where witness accounts and juror reactions carry weight.

Prosecution before defense

After law school, Feldman joined the Maricopa County Attorney's Office in Phoenix as a Deputy County Attorney. He prosecuted cases ranging from DUI to violent crimes. Maricopa County covers Phoenix and its surrounding cities, so that role put him in the same courts where his current clients face charges.

He left the prosecutor's office for a criminal defense firm, then opened The Feldman Law Firm, PLLC. In my opinion, the prosecution-then-defense sequence is one of the more informative facts on the site. An attorney who has filed charges knows how the state builds a file, which witnesses get called, and where a plea offer usually lands.

Where the firm works

The office is in the Great American Tower on North Central Avenue in Phoenix. Central Avenue runs through the midtown corridor, a short distance from the downtown court complex.

The firm states that it handles matters throughout Arizona, so the geographic reach extends past Maricopa County. Arizona criminal defense often means travel between county courts, and a Phoenix base sits near the center of the state's population.

Structure of the client relationship

The firm says it keeps a low case load so clients deal directly with their attorney. That claim describes a staffing choice, and it fits a firm the site presents as a single-attorney office.

Volume criminal defense practices often route clients through paralegals or associates between hearings. A small case load points the other way, toward the named attorney handling the calls and the court appearances. As a reviewer, I read that as a structural statement someone can test in a first meeting by asking who will appear at each hearing.

The firm also lists phone availability around the clock. Criminal matters start at inconvenient hours: arrests happen at night and on weekends, and the window before an interview can be short.

What the published record supports

Structured data on the site gives an April 2012 founding date for the firm, which puts more than a decade of independent operation behind it. The same data carries the firm's social profile links.

Feldman's credentials appear with enough specificity to check: named schools, a named degree, a named honor, and a named former employer. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office is a public agency, and a University of Miami J.D. is a matter of record. Specifics like these are verifiable, which is worth more here than adjectives would be.

Reading the practice-area breadth

Eight or so offense categories is a wide list for one attorney. In Arizona criminal work, that breadth is common: the state's criminal code, sentencing statutes, and plea practices apply across offense types, and a defense attorney who knows Maricopa County procedure carries that knowledge from a drug charge to an assault charge.

Sex crimes and white collar cases sit at the more document-heavy end of that list. Both categories appear on the site with their own pages.

Who this listing will suit

A person facing an Arizona criminal charge who wants a named attorney on the file will find the relevant facts here quickly. The site identifies one lawyer, states his prosecutorial background, and lists the offense types he handles.

Someone comparing Phoenix criminal defense options can weigh three concrete points: the 2012 founding date, the Maricopa County prosecution experience, and the stated low case load. Those are checkable claims about how the firm operates, and in my opinion they carry further than a general description of quality would.

The firm publishes what a directory built on evidence can use: names, dates, schools, prior employers, and a defined field of law. Adam Feldman has practiced criminal law in Phoenix on both sides of the courtroom, and his firm has operated under his name since April 2012.
