Arizona Criminal Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Your Rights If Arrested in Arizona

Your federal constitutional rights apply if you're arrested in Arizona — Miranda, right to remain silent, right to counsel. Phone-call rule: Right to make calls within reasonable time.

Assault Charges in Arizona

Arizona assault charges: simple assault is typically Class 1 misdemeanor up to 6 mo; aggravated forms can reach up to 21 yrs.

Criminal Appeals in Arizona

Arizona criminal defendants have a right to appeal — but appeals are limited to legal errors preserved at trial, run on tight deadlines (often 30 days), and reverse only ~10% of cases.

Cyber Crime Defense in Arizona

Arizona cyber-crime cases combine state computer-crime statutes with federal CFAA and other digital-crime laws. Federal prosecution is common for major cases.

Domestic Violence Charges in Arizona

Arizona domestic violence charges combine an underlying assault/battery offense with state-specific DV enhancements. No mandatory arrest on probable cause.

Drug Court Eligibility in Arizona

Arizona drug courts offer eligible defendants treatment-based alternatives to incarceration. Successful completion can result in dismissed charges or reduced sentences.

Drug Crime Penalties in Arizona

Arizona drug law: cannabis is legal for adult recreational use.

Expungement and Record Sealing in Arizona

Arizona's record-clearing process is called set-aside (and now sealing). Relatively favorable — many records are eligible if you wait the required time and stay out of trouble.

Federal Criminal Charges in Arizona

Arizona federal criminal charges differ from state — federal sentencing guidelines, mandatory minimums, no parole, and 90%+ conviction rates. Specialized federal-experienced counsel essential.

Felonies vs Misdemeanors in Arizona

Arizona divides offenses into felonies (more serious) and misdemeanors (less serious). Class 1-6 felonies (Class 1 most serious — capital).

Gun Laws in Arizona

Arizona concealed carry: Permitless; permits still available. Open carry: Legal. Red flag (ERPO) law: No state red-flag law.

Hate Crime Laws in Arizona

Arizona hate crime laws enhance penalties for offenses motivated by bias against protected categories: Race, religion, national origin, and others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is self-defense a defense to assault?

It can be, if your response was reasonable for the threat. Your lawyer will look at witnesses, video and injuries.

Can an assault charge be reduced?

Sometimes — depending on the facts, your record and the prosecutor. A lawyer can negotiate for a lesser charge.

Should I talk to the police before I have a lawyer?

You have the right to stay silent and to ask for a lawyer. Politely say you want to speak with an attorney before answering questions.

How soon should I hire a criminal defense lawyer in Tempe?

As soon as you're charged or know you're being investigated. Early help can affect bail, evidence and whether charges are filed at all.

Can a criminal charge be dismissed?

Sometimes — for weak evidence, an illegal stop or search, or through programs like pretrial diversion. A local defense lawyer can tell you what's realistic for your case.
