Bio

Bermudez is an Arizona native.  She attended the University of Arizona, receiving two Bachelor of Arts degrees.  She then attended the Arizona State University College of Law.  Throughout her life she strives to be a champion for the accused and underprivileged. 

Felisa Bermudez has dedicated her legal career to defending those accused of DUI and other criminal charges.  Bermudez began her career in DUI and criminal defense in the trenches of public service.  As a City of Tucson Public Defender, Bermudez demonstrated her natural skill in criminal defense and trial advocacy.  With a massive caseload, Bermudez took the time to meet with each and every client to discuss each case. Bermudez litigated criminal cases every day, the bulk of which were DUI.  Bermudez quickly excelled in the complicated area of DUI law, achieving excellent results for her clients and gaining the respect of her colleagues and the court. She successfully litigated DUI, Domestic Violence, Theft, Possession of Drug/Drug Paraphernalia, and other misdemeanor charges. 

Bermudez continued her career as a Maricopa County Public Defender where she was assigned a felony caseload litigating Aggravated Assault, Forgery, Theft, Drug, Weapons, Aggravated DUI, and other felony charges.  She excelled in defending those accused of felony offenses.  With her DUI defense background, Bermudez was assigned to the Vehicular Crimes Unit of the Public Defender’s Office.  In that assignment, Bermudez handled only Aggravated DUI and Aggravated Assault, very serious and complicated felony charges.  Again, with a heavy caseload, Bermudez committed herself to each client and provided meticulous attention to each case.

As a Public Defender, Bermudez took pride in her dedication to defending her clients from DUI and other criminal charges.  She joined private practice where she now practices throughout Maricopa County.  In her private practice, she holds the same values she formed early in her career as a public defender: giving to each client her time and attention, thoroughly investigating every case, closely scrutinizing all information and evidence, taking the time to conduct meaningful negotiations with prosecutors, and creating a formidable defense for trial.
