Common questions about Criminal Defense in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
Can I represent myself in criminal court in Arizona?
Yes, under both the U.S. and Arizona constitutions you have the right to represent yourself (Faretta v. California, 1975), but the court must ensure your waiver of counsel is knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. For anything beyond minor traffic infractions, self-representation is strongly discouraged. If you cannot afford an attorney, ARS § 13-4013 entitles you to court-appointed counsel for any case carrying potential incarceration.
What is the statute of limitations for crimes in Arizona?
Limitations periods are set by ARS § 13-107. There is no statute of limitations for Class 1 felonies (including murder). Most other felonies have a 7-year limit; misdemeanors have a 1-year limit. The clock is tolled (paused) during periods when the defendant is absent from Arizona or when their identity is unknown.
How long does a criminal case take in Arizona?
Misdemeanors typically resolve within 60-180 days from arraignment. Felonies most commonly take 6-18 months from filing to resolution; complex or multi-defendant cases can run 2 or more years. Defendants have speedy-trial rights under Rule 8 of the Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure: in custody felony cases must be tried within 150 days of arraignment, out-of-custody within 180 days, with limited extensions.
