Adele Drumlevitch

Adele Drumlevitch represents clients in DUI, DWI, and criminal defense matters across Arizona, with a strong focus on Cochise County courts. Her practice serves adults and juveniles facing misdemeanor or felony allegations, including impaired driving, drug possession, domestic violence, traffic offenses, assault, shoplifting, weapons violations, and related criminal court matters.

Adele earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Arizona in 1985 and became licensed to practice law in Arizona in 1987. Her education and early legal training laid the foundation for courtroom advocacy, criminal procedure, research, writing, and client-focused defense strategies in complex criminal cases throughout her legal career. Her legal career began in public defense, where she served as an assistant public defender in Tucson and later worked as a legal clerk handling research, writing, and attorney coverage. She also gained experience with small Cochise County law firms before developing an independent criminal defense practice for local clients.

Since 2005, Adele has operated her own law firm, representing clients charged with DUI and criminal offenses. Her background includes years as a court-appointed lawyer, followed by a shift to private defense work in 2014 to allow more time and attention to each client and case, from intake through final resolution. Her practice includes alcohol, drug, prescription medication, extreme DUI, prior-conviction DUI, driver license suspension, civil rights restoration, set aside matters, juvenile delinquency, probation termination, criminal traffic, disorderly conduct, criminal damage, theft-related charges, fraud, order violations, animal-related criminal matters, and dangerous dog hearings throughout Arizona court proceedings and related administrative matters.

Adele Drumlevitch has also served as a former city prosecutor for Tombstone and Bisbee, an experience that helps her understand how criminal cases may be evaluated from both sides of the courtroom. That perspective supports careful preparation, practical advice, and informed defense planning for people facing stressful legal proceedings and difficult court decisions. Through decades of DUI and criminal defense work, she helps clients understand charges, court requirements, available options, and potential consequences. She is active in leading DUI defense and Arizona legal organizations.
