Natasha Wrae | Tucson Criminal Defense Lawyer

Natasha is an experienced and diligent criminal defense attorney providing personal attention to her cases. Different from many criminal defense attorneys, Natasha has never taken any court-appointed or contract cases. By obtaining cases solely through referrals and advertising, she is able to keep her case load manageable in order to devote herself entirely to each client and provide the one-on-one attention they deserve.

I was hired by a military man who was being investigated for allegedly abusing his young son. He had not been formally charged yet. If he had been formally charged with felony domestic violence assault charges his military career could have been ruined. I was able to put together a very persuasive package for the reviewing prosecutor. The prosecutor decided not to prosecute my client after reviewing what I submitted to him.

I believe my successful practice was built on my reputation for being diligent, aggressive when needed and having high-profile success on difficult cases.

They should look for an attorney who will be honest with them about realistic goals. The attorney who tries to scare them into believing that without that attorney horrible things will happen in their case is the attorney they should avoid.

It can be very important. No one likes to be "home towned" and it does happen. But, each courthouse has different ways of doing things. You want an attorney who is familiar with the ways of the courthouse where your case is pending.

I can usually get a good sense of the case and project logical outcomes. However, I always advise that I'm only hearing one side of the story and my thoughts, impressions and opinions could change once I've had a chance to review all of the evidence.

If they can text or email me a copy of the citation or other charging documents, I can better assess what they are facing, when and where. Your average citizen is not typically trained in reading such documents. So, it is better if I can see it and read it myself. If not then I try to walk them through reading it to me.

I am strictly a privately retained criminal defense attorney. I am not a public defender and I do not have any contracts with any of the Court houses to do indigent defense. By being strictly privately retained, I keep my case load small and am able to give each case the individual attention it needs. I also use a private investigator on every case who has a heightened attention to detail and clever analytical mind. Together, nothing gets past us.

Being charged with a crime can be one of the most stressful times in a person's life. Helping people survive their case and get back to normal life with as little trauma as possible is very rewarding.

I have 4 boys under 18 years old. I love going to their various sporting events. I'm also very active in Rotary and enjoy giving back to the community.

Cosby Convicted!  (2018-05-01 09:31:42)
Honestly I didn’t think it would happen. Much like OJ Simpson, I didn’t believe that a jury would convict what is in essence a national hero.
