Practice Limited to Self-Defense Cases

Joey Hamby has been an attorney since 1994. Over the years he has personally represented clients in hundreds of felony and misdemeanor cases in state and federal courts. While he is passionate about all our freedoms Joey has a particular interest in self-defense cases and has represented numerous clients who have defended themselves or others with deadly force. This includes obtaining a complete acquittal after a 6-week jury trial for a client who was charged with First Degree Murder for defending himself against an attacker with a knife. It also includes multiple cases that Joey kept from being charged altogether or where he was able to get the cases dismissed after clients were charged.

Joey has worked with some of the leading experts in the area of self-defense, including ballistics experts, event-recreation experts, medical examiners, DNA experts, use-of-force experts, crime-scene investigation experts, and others.

When you or a loved one faces the crushing power of the government you need an experienced defense attorney to stand between you and the threat of a conviction and a sentence. Joey has helped his clients deal with the massive threats and force of prosecution by the government.

Joey began working on death penalty cases in 2003 and he has represented numerous clients charged with first degree murder and facing the possibility of capital punishment. He has also been a Post-Conviction Relief expert on a capital case.

Joey is a Certified Specialist in Criminal Law through the State Bar of Arizona. Joey received his Bachelors degree through the Justice Studies Program at Arizona State University and he received his J.D. from the University of Dayton in Ohio. Between college and law school Joey worked as a probation officer in Maricopa County.

As a firearms instructor, I can feel confident in recommending my students and community to reach out to James Belcher as a great point of contact to get the professional and friendly service to seek the legal protection needed for the "after self-defense" defense. Thank you James 🫡

James Belcher has been such an amazing point of contact for me since the day I inquired for information to protect our church security team with the AOR coverage. When they were revamping their system to optimize to make our situation work well, he was the one to reach out and always has been friendly, professional, and a great representation for their company. I definitely will recommend AOR and James to all my people.
