Hector Diaz

Hector Diaz was formerly a partner at the national law firm of Quarles & Brady LLP for almost twenty years. There, he led the firm’s national white-collar and criminal defense group, handling internal investigations, grand jury probes, and complex, multi-jurisdictional cases for his clients. These included Fortune 500 companies, executives, and public figures. Today, he brings that same exclusive training and strategic rigor to individuals facing serious criminal charges, ensuring every client receives personalized attention and an aggressive defense typically found in a big-firm practice.

After graduating cum laude from Arizona State University in 1995 and earning his J.D. from the University of Arizona College of Law in 2000, Hector worked as a Maricopa County Public Defender, where he honed his trial skills representing individuals accused of a wide array of felony and misdemeanor criminal offenses. In 2003, Hector joined the national law firm, Quarles & Brady. He became known for handling high-stakes criminal matters, representing individuals pending trial in state and federal courts nationally, often securing dismissals or non-prosecution agreements before any charges were filed.

In 2023, Hector founded Diaz Law in Scottsdale, offering the same experience on a more personal scale. From your very first private meeting, he takes the time to understand your story, review every document, and map out a clear defense plan. Whether you’re charged with DUI, a domestic violence offense, or high-stakes crimes like homicide, drug sales, or federal fraud related offenses, Hector moves early and quickly to favorably position you in the face of a criminal investigation/prosecution. This allows Hector to challenge overbroad criminal investigations, preserve critical witness testimony and information, and coordinate with private investigators when needed to preserve your defenses. The goal being to avoid the filing of criminal charges but preparing for trial if needed.
