Good people make mistakes. At Rosenstein Law Group, we work hard to ensure that one bad night does not destroy your future.
Arizona prosecutors are highly motivated to secure convictions in all criminal and DUI cases, and the state legislature continues to pass laws that impose increasingly severe punishments. Our criminal defense lawyers fight aggressively to prevent adverse outcomes that could impact your right to drive, your ability to work and provide for your family, and other important considerations.
An overly aggressive defense lawyer could do more harm than good to your situation. Charging at the prosecutor with brute force can often burn a bridge to a favorable result. Preliminary negotiations require a certain level of finesse in order to get a read on the prosecutor’s position. We know the Arizona prosecutors, and they know us. We are respected for the way we conduct our business, and we are proud of our reputation throughout the Arizona legal community.

When we come across unjust laws or laws being abused by prosecuting agencies, we don’t complain – we change the laws. Craig Rosenstein has worked tirelessly on criminal justice issues and regularly testifies at the Arizona legislature on criminal justice matters. We found that we were getting calls from clients distressed after their mugshots from their arrests were somehow easily found online and coming up high in Google searches.
To make matters worse, representatives from the websites that were optimizing these mugshots to appear online were contacting our clients and attempting to extort them for an exorbitant amount of money for their services to remove the mugshots. We felt this was highly unethical and extremely distressing for our clients, who are already dealing with a difficult situation and stressful time in their lives. We decided to act. At first, we worked on fighting each website individually, but this ended up being generally ineffective as these providers were just skating inside the law.
At this point, we decided to think outside the box, and we worked on a more effective and permanent solution. At the time, Craig Rosenstein was the president of the criminal justice organization Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice (AACJ). Our firm authored a bill and decided to team up with AACJ to work on getting this bill passed into law. On April 1, 201,9 Governor Doug Ducey signed HB2191 into law. The bill targeted mugshot website operators who are now defined as companies that publish a person’s mugshot or criminal justice record on a publicly available internet website for a commercial purpose.
However, legitimate news outlets, such as Arizona Republic, FOX, NBC, and ABC are excluded and allowed to use mug shots for legitimate news purposes. The law prohibits mugshot website operators from publishing individuals’ mugshots and other criminal justice information for pecuniary gain, but it gives victims of this predatory practice a right to sue them for damages if they violate this new law. We are proud to say that this was the first, but not the last time our firm will be instrumental in making Arizona a better place.
