Word for word

The full answers

“Who is the best criminal defense lawyer in Phoenix?”

There isn't one objectively "best" criminal defense lawyer in Phoenix. The right choice depends on your charge, such as DUI, drug, violent or white-collar, and on the attorney's trial experience. The search results didn't turn up independent rankings, so I can't name a single winner.

Firms that came up as well reviewed and apparently still operating:

- DM Cantor (David Michael Cantor): The firm's own site says it has a 10.0 Avvo rating and 300+ five-star Google reviews. It also says he has handled high-profile cases covered by national media. These are self-reported claims, so check them on Google and Avvo yourself. - Millar Law, P.L.L.C. (Michael Alarid III): This firm is listed on FindLaw, with a featured client review describing a case that was fully dismissed.

I couldn't confirm either firm's current status beyond their active listings. Two things should settle it:

1. Check the State Bar of Arizona for good standing and any discipline. 2. Book consultations with two or three lawyers. Ask how many cases like yours they've taken to trial, who will actually handle your case, and how they charge.

If you tell me the type of charge, I can suggest what to look for in a lawyer.

How we ask

Method

Once a week we ask Claude (Anthropic's assistant) the same fixed questions a person in each city might type, with web search turned on and set to that city, and we ask it to check the web before it answers. We use Claude's API, the version developers build on, so an answer in the Claude app on your phone can differ. These answers were asked the week of Nov 9, 2026.

We show what Claude said, word for word, and count who it named. Besides the question, we ask Claude only to check current information and to list the businesses it named at the end of its answer, which is how we count them. We don't rank anyone ourselves, nobody pays to appear, and our own clients get no special treatment: if a competitor of theirs is named, it's on the list.

AI answers can be wrong. Claude can name a business that has closed or misdescribe one, and we haven't checked each name. Treat this as a record of what Claude says, not a recommendation from Kalydron.
