When Someone is Charged With a Crime

Phoenix AZ Criminal Defense Lawyers

Facing a criminal conviction in Arizona can affect far more than your freedom. Alongside potential jail time, a conviction can lead to severe financial penalties and lasting restrictions on future opportunities in Arizona, including employment, housing, financing options, and legal rights such as gun ownership.
Arizona’s criminal justice system is known for its rigorous sentencing standards, and while you are presumed innocent, the system can often be unfavorable to those accused. At Feldman & Royle, our seasoned criminal defense attorneys in Phoenix, AZ are committed to providing strategic and relentless representation. With experience and tenacity, we stand ready to protect your rights and work tirelessly for a favorable outcome.

No. As with all victim related crimes in Arizona, the State is the party that brings charges, not a particular victim. Once police have been called and an arrest decision has been made, police refer the case to a prosecutor for charging. Only a prosecutor can opt to have charges dropped after review of the case.

Whether DV is a felony depends on which underlying crime the domestic violence allegation is associated. While statistically more domestic violence charges are filed as misdemeanors, even misdemeanor domestic violence charges can have severe consequences.

The statue of limitations depends on the underlying charge associated with the DV allegation. Generally, the statute of limitations for a domestic violence offense in Arizona is 1-year for a misdemeanor or 7 years for a felony. However, some domestic violence offenses have no statute of limitations.

Domestic violence (DV) charges are not necessarily charges in Arizona but rather allegations or enhancement to underlying criminal charges. For example, you can commit assault without it being a DV Assault but if you assault a romantic partner, it would be charged as DV Assault.

Yes. If police learn a gun is present or a gun is either in plain view or found after a consensual search of the property, the police may seize the weapon. In these situations, if a gun is seized by police it must be held for at least seventy-two hours. Receipt of the weapon must be given to the lawful owner.

No. While many cases do go to trial, many other DV cases are dismissed prior to trial or negotiated via a plea agreement.

10 Steps in Criminal Justice Process

After police have investigated your case, they will either make an arrest, request an arrest warrant or submit the charges to the prosecutor for charging. The initial arrest is the first of the 8 steps in the criminal justice process and can often be one of the more stressful.

roommate domestic violence
Roommate Domestic Violence

Most people think domestic violence only occurs between a husband and wife or those in a romantic relationship. While a crime between a husband and wife would certainly qualify as “domestic violence,” many people are surprised to learn that the crime of “domestic violence” under Arizona law includes a far broader range of disputes beyond those between family members or romantic partners.
