To “recklessly” cause the death of another, the person must have been aware of, and consciously disregarded, a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the result will occur or that the circumstances existed.

“Auto Theft” occurs when a person controls somebody else’s vehicle with the intent to “permanently” deprive the person of that vehicle. This can occur when a person borrows somebody else’s car for a certain amount of time, but then fails to return it within the agreed upon time period.
* Boating DUI and DWI
“Operating or In Actual Physical Control of a Motorized Water Craft While Intoxicated” or “OUI” involves operating a boat, jet ski, SeaDoo, or any other Water Craft while impaired to the slightest degree by the consumption of alcohol, or above a .08% blood alcohol concentration within two (2) hours of operating the watercraft.

- Sex Crimes
The Cantor Team’s Arizona Sex Offender Lawyers are highly versed in all areas of criminal law, including building defenses for accusations of possession of pornography, child molestation, indecent exposure, prostitution, solicitation of prostitution, sexual abuse, sexual assault and other alleged crimes.
* Prostitution
One of the strongest defenses to Prostitution is “Entrapment.” Entrapment occurs when an undercover officer who by their actions, induces the defendant to commit the offense, which is something they would not ordinarily agree to do without the actions by the officer.
* Sexual Assault

* Child Pornography
The crime is committed if any person knowingly records, films, photographs, duplicates, develops, sells, purchases, transports, or electronically transmits or receives any visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexual conduct or exploitive exhibition. This is a very broad statute and covers a wide range of potentially innocent conduct.
* Public Sexual Indecency
“Public Sexual Indecency” occurs when a person “intentionally” or “knowingly” engages in an act of sexual contact, oral sexual contact, sexual intercourse, or bestiality (an act involving contact between a person’s mouth, vulva or genitals and the anus or genitals of an animal) while another person is present, and the defendant is “reckless” about whether the other person, as a reasonable person, would be offended or alarmed by the act.
- White Collar Crimes
If you have been charged with fraud, theft, racketeering, money laundering, robbery, forgery, extortion, false reporting, shoplifting or other white collar crimes requiring a skilled criminal defense attorney, the Cantor Defense Team is highly versed in these areas of criminal law.
* Forgery
“Forgery” occurs when a person knowingly completes or alters a written instrument, knowingly possesses a forged instrument, or knowingly offers or presents a forged instrument (whether it is accepted or not). An instrument can still be considered a “forged instrument” even if it has a proper authentic signature, so long as it has a forged amount or other forged material information or alteration.
* Robbery
“Robbery” occurs when in the course of taking the property of another of the alleged victim’s body (or immediate presence) and against their will, the defendant threatens or uses force against any person with the intent to coerce the victim to surrender the property or to prevent the victim from resisting.
* Extortion
“Extortion” occurs by knowingly obtaining or seeking to obtain property or services by means of a future threat to: cause physical injury by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument or some other manner; cause damage to property; engage in other conduct constituting a criminal offense; accuse anyone of a crime or bring criminal charges against anyone.

Almost every member of the Cantor Defense Team is a former City, County or State prosecutor who knows the law and knows the court system well.
* Burglary
“Burglary” occurs when a person enters or unlawfully remains on a property with the intent to commit any type of Theft or felony therein. Burglary in the “First Degree” occurs when a person possesses a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument (or an explosive) during the Burglary.

Almost every member of the Cantor Defense Team is a former prosecutor, including the following jurisdictions: the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office; the Arizona Attorney General’s Office; the Phoenix City Prosecutor’s Office; and the Mesa City Prosecutor’s Office.
* Child Abuse / Vulnerable Adult Abuse
A “child” is any individual under 18 years of age, and a “vulnerable adult” is any individual who is 18 years of age or older and who is unable to protect himself from abuse, neglect or exploitation by others because of a mental or physical impairment. Child Abuse and Vulnerable Adult Abuse crimes fall in two major categories.
- Conspiracy
“Conspiracy” occurs when, with the intent to promote or aide in the commission of an offense, a person agrees with one or more other persons that at least one of them will engage in conduct constituting the offense, and one of the parties commits an overt act in furtherance of the offense.
- Appeals
Just because you have been convicted of a crime does not mean that you have lost your case entirely. There is a Post-Conviction Issues/Appeals process that seeks to overturn your conviction or modify the terms of a sentence. If you have lost civil rights due to a conviction, such as the right to vote, these right can sometimes be restored.
