Criminal Defense

Serious allegations require serious attention - don’t go it alone. If you are accused of a crime, you need an attorney by your side to protect your personal interests. Navigating the criminal justice system is not pleasant, but having an experienced attorney can make it bearable.


Personal Injury

Suffering personal injuries through someone else’s negligence causes unforeseeable consequences. Let our legal experience help you negotiate a proper settlement.


Russell Araya handles a broad range of legal matters outside of criminal defense and personal injury. Whatever the issue, call Russell to find the right solution.
