About Alexis
Alexis Brooks earned her law degree from Arizona Summit Law School. She returned to the Phoenix legal scene after graduation and began building practical courtroom experience in public defense. That early stretch shaped how she approaches client representation, emphasizing direct advocacy and hands-on case management.
Brooks began her career at the Maricopa County Public Defender's Office in 2016. There she worked on a steady docket of criminal matters. The role exposed her to arraignments, pretrial litigation and negotiated resolutions. It also offered repeated opportunities to stand in front of judges and juries. That formative period provided a foundation in criminal defense practice that she carried into private practice.
In 2019 she joined Hallam Law Group as a lawyer. The move brought new responsibilities and a shift into private defense work. At Hallam, Brooks handled a range of criminal cases and developed litigation strategies tailored to individual clients. Her time there bridged the transition from public service to advocacy in a firm setting.
Brooks advanced to a senior associate position at Tait & Hall, PLLC in 2021. The title reflects a progression in case leadership and courtroom responsibilities. She has taken on complex files and served as lead counsel on matters that required careful preparation and persistent advocacy. Colleagues describe her work style as steady. Clients have relied on her to explain legal options and to press for favorable outcomes.
Her bar admission covers the state of Arizona. She maintains professional ties through membership in legal groups, including The National Tiral Lawyers (Top 40 under 40 Criminal Defense). That recognition marks her among a cohort of early-career criminal defense practitioners who have been noticed by peers and organizations that track emerging lawyers.
Brooks combines courtroom experience from the public defender's office with private-firm litigation. She draws on that background to manage cases from investigation through resolution. She prepares motions, argues hearings and negotiates plea offers when appropriate. Her practice reflects an emphasis on methodical preparation and client communication rather than spectacle.
Outside the courtroom she has participated in continuing legal education and local legal events. Those activities keep her current on shifts in criminal procedure and evidence law. She remains based at Tait & Hall, PLLC, where she practices criminal defense in Arizona.
