Areas of Practice
Criminal Defense
When your liberty and your civil rights, or your subjection to any other criminal sanction, are at stake, you need the most highly skilled representation you can find. John has been a certified specialist in criminal law by the State Bar of Arizona for 30 years. He has tried many cases in State and Federal Courts.
Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice & Wrongful Death
Negligence and outright misconduct resulting in grievous harm cry out for remedy, as you may know all too well if you are looking for representation in a matter of personal injury, medical malpractice, or (perish the thought) wrongful death. John has represented the injured and abused for over 30 years, and has obtained verdicts in excess of one million dollars.
Appeals
Each appellate venue, and each stage in the process of filing appeals, has its own distinct protocols and tactics. When you mean to pursue your case to the fullest, you need representation familiar with the entire chain of appeals that lies before you. John has researched, written and argued appeals before the Arizona Court of Appeals, the Arizona Supreme Court, the Hopi Court of Appeals, the Navajo Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court.
Indian Law
If you are a Tribal Member or non-Member facing the prospect of litigation in one of Arizona's many Tribal Courts, you will want the expert legal advice of an attorney who has experience making arguments in those venues. Mr. Trebon is a member of both the Navajo Nation Bar Association and the Hopi Tribal Courts, and has particularly strong background litigating in jurisdictional questions.
Civil Rights
When powerful interests move to deprive you of your constitutional and statutory rights, you need a competent, knowledgeable advocate. The Supreme Court has limited viable legal remedies to specific, intricate, and challenging-to-maneuver pathways. John has intimate experience successfully pursuing multiple kinds of civil-rights violations.
