Obstruction of Justice Lawyers in Phoenix
Serving Those Accused Throughout Maricopa County
Few criminal allegations can escalate as quickly as those involving obstruction of justice. What begins as a police investigation into one matter can result in additional criminal charges if law enforcement believes you interfered with an arrest, concealed evidence, provided false information, or attempted to influence the outcome of a case.
If you have been accused of obstructing law enforcement, interfering with a criminal investigation, tampering with evidence, or helping another person avoid arrest, you must seek legal representation as soon as possible. These charges can carry serious consequences and may be filed alongside other misdemeanor or felony offenses.

Common Obstruction-Related Charges We Handle
Unlike some states, Arizona does not have a single criminal offense called "obstruction of justice." Instead, prosecutors pursue a variety of offenses that involve conduct alleged to interfere with law enforcement investigations, criminal prosecutions, court proceedings, or the administration of justice.
Depending on the facts of a case, these allegations may involve actions taken during a police investigation, after an arrest, during a criminal prosecution, or even during a civil proceeding.
Because obstruction-related offenses can arise in many different situations, it is vital to understand the specific charge being alleged and the potential consequences that accompany it.

Resisting Arrest
Resisting arrest occurs when a person allegedly prevents or attempts to prevent a law enforcement officer from making a lawful arrest.
Examples may include:
- Using physical force against an officer
- Creating a substantial risk of injury during an arrest
- Actively resisting lawful detention
Resisting arrest is often charged as a felony and can lead to significant penalties upon conviction.
Tampering With Physical Evidence
Evidence tampering allegations arise when a person is accused of destroying, altering, concealing, or removing evidence relevant to an investigation or criminal proceeding.
Examples may include:
- Deleting electronic records
- Destroying documents
- Concealing physical evidence
- Altering information relevant to a criminal case
Evidence tampering can result in felony charges and may significantly complicate an existing criminal matter.
