Biography

Alexander Poulos is a former Organized Crime and Homicide Prosecutor who has tried hundreds of jury and bench trials, including complex and high-profile cases. His “people practice” includes Family, Juvenile and Criminal Law involving state, federal, and international investigations, trials, and related appeals. He also serves as General Counsel for Tiffany & Bosco, P.A. His cases have been featured on the national television programs America’s Most Wanted and Arrest & Trial and he has served as a legal consultant on Fox Channel 10 News. Alex is rated Preeminent by Martindale Hubbell, is considered one of Arizona’s Finest Lawyers, and has been voted a Top Lawyer by Phoenix Magazine.

Alex’s family law practice includes divorce, legal separation, and annulment, property division including complex and high net worth estates, juvenile proceedings, child custody and support, spousal maintenance, domestic disputes, orders of protection, premarital and cohabitation agreements, and other issues related to families and people living together. If criminal issues arise in family and juvenile matters, he has the experience to address them. Sometimes these issues involve international law. Alex’ foreign service degree and previous work on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. highlights his interest in this area. He is a member of the U.S. State Department’s Hague Convention Attorney Network.*

His criminal practice includes representation of persons under federal or state government investigation, companies receiving federal or state government requests or demands for information, or persons who are charged in criminal proceedings involving white collar crime and other felonies and misdemeanors.

Alex’s experience as a prosecutor gives him an important dual perspective in approaching his client’s cases. He understands human motivations that ignite and perpetuate disputes. This helps resolve them to achieve a fair resolution for his clients.

But when settlement efforts fail and litigation proves necessary, Alex applies his over 35 years of experience as a trial attorney to advocate for his clients in court and to pursue and defend related appeals. Alex is lead counsel on several opinions and memorandum decisions reported by the Arizona Court of Appeals.

As a football player, Alex was Captain of his teams and All-State at Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix, Arizona and All-American at Georgetown University. Before law school, he served in Washington, D.C. as a Foreign Affairs Assistant to Senator DeConcini and later to then Congressman John McCain. Upon graduating from law school, Alex served at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, and then went into private practice at Tiffany & Bosco, P.A.
