My daughter had been arrested and was scheduled to appear before a judge in Early Resolution Court in just two days. She had already been in jail for a week and had not yet been contacted by a public defender, even though she had requested one at her initial appearance. I was panicked that my daughter would not have legal representation on her court date. Some dear friends of mine told me to contact Julio Laboy. I told them I couldn't afford to hire a private attorney, but thankfully my friends insisted and I contact him immediately. I cannot express the relief I felt after talking with Julio. He was so kind and put my mind at ease by letting me know that he would help my daughter. He and his staff began making phone calls and getting information as soon as we got off the phone. I believe it was one of those phone calls by the Laboy Law Office that prompted the public defender to finally contact my daughter, and she was offered a plea deal. I conveyed the plea information to Julio and he said that it did sound like a good deal. Now, the remarkable part to this whole story is that Mr. Laboy had provided all of this help to me and my family, and had not even been paid one red cent yet!! Why would a well-known and highly respected attorney do that? Because he is a genuine and nice person who truly believes in helping others. He could have told me that my daughter would not receive adequate representation from a public defender so that we would hire him and I wouldn't have doubted it, but he didn't. In fact, Mr. Laboy didn't even ask how we planned to compensate him for the help his law firm had already provided to us, but there was no way I was going to take advantage of someone who was so ethical and honest. We worked out a fair dollar amount and parted ways. There are no words to express how absolutely blessed my family is to know Julio Laboy. He is a true man of character, who uses his gifts and knowledge to help others. He will be the first person I call if I ever need legal representation again, and I will continue to sing his praise to everyone I know. Thank you Julio Laboy and God bless you!- Cynthia Mason. 5/13/2020![]()
I had a "class 6 designated felony" on my record from over 10 years ago. I had it come up on a criminal background check, stopping me from being approved for a new home. I found Laboy Law Offices online and after talking to him, I hired him. He really knows alot about felonies. Him and his paralegal, Cindy, were great. Always answering my questions and helpful and supportive. The "MOTION" that this man wrote to the judge was worth its weight in gold! It was amazing! He is really good at his job! If I ever need to hire a lawyer again, it would b him! Thanks again Mr. Laboy and Cindy for all that u did for me. I really appreciate it.- Tina Nugent. 5/1/2020![]()

I sincerely appreciate every thing he has done for me and my family in a time of need and feeling lost and depressed with what was happening with my case. Thanks Julio I will definitely recommend you to anyone and everyone and already have given multiple people I know the number and info should they need top notch legal defense...and shout out to Cindy in the trenches doing behind the scenes work very nice and easy to deal with anytime I’ve needed an update or help period!!!oh and lastly great bargain for what you get seriously top notch defense for I’m sure far less than what I could’ve paid and gotten a lot less- Alan Venegas. 0/29/2020![]()

Julio is hands down the BEST, my husband was looking at up to 10 years and he got it down to probation, he saved our family and a huge hardship on mine and my children's life.

Julio Laboy and his team are by far the best legal team in this State. Considerate, professional, and always willing to go above and beyond for their clients. I would like to personally thank Julio for all that he has done for my family and I, allowing me to have my freedom is the greatest gift I can ask for. He’s a great man and with him behind you, he makes you feel as if you have nothing to worry about. I’m very fortunate to had have Julio as my defense as I suffer from an extreme anxiety disorder and am never truly feel at ease. With Julio he helped with this immensely by walking me through my case step by step and giving answers when I needed them making me less anxious! Thank you Julio and team- Johnny Bravo. 0/21/2020![]()
I was a victim of an assault with my ex and felt lost when I wasn’t receiving help from the prosecutor and the defendant’s lawyer kept pushing the case longer and longer. I was fed up and that’s when I found Julio. His first court appearance was worth his fee, being my voice and fighting for my rights since the beginning made me feel so much better. He was there throughout the end and was always a phone call or text away. Whether you’re accused of a crime or even a victim like myself, Julio will take care of you. I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done.- Gabrielle Murietta. 0/18/2020![]()

Julio Laboy is the very best lawyer in Phoenix.- Kristin Smith. 11/10/2019![]()
My wife and I met Julio about 9 years ago at the park in our community. It was a blessing that we met Julio. I never thought I would need an attorney, but I called him right away when I did. My wife was in a accident with a Buckeye Police officer on a motorcycle in Verrado. She looked left and didn't see anyone coming, so she proceeded to make a right turn. The Buckeye Police officer came around the curve at a very high rate of speed and and collided with her at about 50 to 54 miles per hour. He said in the police report that he started braking when he came around the curve and seen my wife in her Jeep. Approximately 300 feet to brake and he still collided with her at about 50 to 54 miles per hour. Goodyear police investigated the crash and didn't put his speed in the report (They could have figured it out if they wanted too). Goodyear police also didn't interview the guys on the fire department, who came up to us at the accident and said he was going way too fast and should have never been driving like that. They were responding to the same call and they seen how fast the officer was going down the road. They also had a few other choice words I will not share. Goodyear police made an excuse why they didn't interview the fire fighters that didn't make any sense. We also had a witness in another car who said he was going between 80 and 90 mph down a 40 and around a curve with low visibility. The Goodyear police still gave my wife a misdemeanor ticket for failure to yield causing serious injuries. Julio went to work and discovered a lot of things that the police officer did wrong. Julio was able to get the charges dismissed after eight months of going back and forth. My wife and I have lost a lot of sleep over the accident and what we have been put through so far with the charges and the whole process. We also lost a lot of sleep worrying and praying for the Police Officer who was injured, and also his family. Thank you Julio for fighting for us against a stacked deck. We appreciate all of the time and hard work you put into this case. We appreciate you so much that words can't describe it. Andy Lueck- Andrew Lueck. 11/4/2019![]()
Our daughter found herself in a great deal of legal (criminal) trouble and was likely facing jail time. Mr. Julio Laboy did a remarkable job representing our daughter! He advised her on what actions (drug rehab, counseling, halfway homes, drug and alcohol classes, etc.) that she needed to take to impress the state (prosecution) and the judge. After she strictly followed Mr. Laboy's wise recommendations, he was successful in negotiating a NO JAIL (only fines, probation, continued counseling, etc.) sentence for her. Today, our daughter is living a clean and sober life (outside of a correctional facility!) and putting her life back together step by step. Please understand that we went from initially believing that she would UNDOUBTEDLY go to jail-to a very fair, just, and humane sentence for our daughter. For this we thank Mr. Laboy and his talented staff, and recommend him and his excellent firm very highly. Thank you Mr. Laboy and well done!- Ben Luoma. 10/3/2019![]()
Thank you Julio Laboy Law Firm.. I just want to say if you are looking for a Lawyer that is professional and efficient and cares about their clients look no further. The Laboy Law Firm team did an outstanding job representing our son. They went above and beyond looking into details that I believe many other lawyers will bypass just to get a quick result. Not Julio and his team they did their best to represent our son and got him a great outcome. Once again thank you Julio for representing our son.- Edward Galindo. 7/27/2019![]()
Our lawyer Julio was the beacon of hope during a time our options were very scarce and he offered us a very generous outcome. His demeanor has always been very calm and empathetic, he offered our family the emotional crutch we needed through this hardship. He was able to keep my husband out for a very long time. We are forever grateful for his services to our family, his pricing is very reasonable for a lawyer and we highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. He rocks !- Celia Garcia. 7/19/2019![]()

I want to thank Julio for helping our 13 year old son in a situation and interaction with the police. Julio's calm demeanor helped put our son at ease. He took the time out of his schedule to talk one on one with him and let him know everything was gonna be ok. He also gave him his personal cell phone number and said he could call him directly if he ever just needed to talk. What you did for our son means the world to us!!!

I recently was charged with 4 different charges and went and saw many different lawyers. I truly love Laboy law and his awesome staff. I was looking at almost half a year in jail and numerous fines. Mr. Laboy believed in me as I believed in him Some of my charges were not true and he took the time to prove that and even cared about me and I feel it was not all about the money with him. Well it payed off I have a small fine and was suppose to do 24hrs in jail. Even that turned out good it was only about 8hours until they released me.- Gracie Bergeron. 3/29/2018![]()
Mr. Laboy is one of the kindest people that I have ever me, especially in the criminal court system. He really went the extra mile to help my brother who has a mental illness.

My most heartfelt thank you to Laboy Law Office team!! Such an amazing experience. I had legal issues in July and didn't know what to do. I was contacted by their office that same day I sent an email through another lawyer finder website. I was so shaken over the incident, that it was such a relief to have that phone call (same day!!) and speak with someone who actually listened and put my mind at ease before coming into the office. I am very fortunate for the genuine concern for my rights and the hard work him and his team did for me. I hope no future incident occurs, but if so Laboy is on my speed dial and who I praise and refer to friends/family. I really appreciate all their professionalism, handwork, communication via phone and text, time, and patience in advocating for me and getting results. My family is truly grateful, as am I- thank you for giving me my life back!!!- Jeanine Villanueva. 9/18/2017
