Oliverson Law was founded in 2009 by Derek Oliverson, who served as a police officer, prosecutor, and judge before turning to defense work. He has spent more than 17 years in Arizona courtrooms, from Tempe Municipal Court to Maricopa County Superior Court, and has personally handled over 5,000 criminal and DUI cases. He answers his own phone, returns calls the same day, and makes himself available to clients around the clock by cell phone. David Tangren, a University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law graduate, began his career as a misdemeanor prosecutor with the Pima County Attorney's Office, litigating DUI and other misdemeanor charges, before moving to a felony trial team in the Property and Narcotics Bureau, where he served as first chair from grand jury through evidentiary hearings and trials. He now works exclusively in private defense and has represented clients in courts from Maricopa to Apache County. Chelsea Pajak, who graduated from the University of Arizona in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Studies, supports the trial team with case research, motion drafting, and client communication across DUI, felony, and post-conviction matters; she previously interned with the Pima County Superior Court's Pretrial Services Assessment Division and is a commissioned Notary Public.

The firm's stated approach is to keep every case with the attorney who takes the call rather than passing it to junior associates, and to bring a team of former judges, prosecutors, and police officers to each defense. Clients are given direct cell phone access, and the firm offers a free, confidential case evaluation.

Oliverson Law DUI & Criminal Defense of Goodyear has built a strong local reputation reflected in consistently high customer ratings, and a steady record of repeat and referred clients.
