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 difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in Arizona?
Arizona criminal offenses are classified by severity under Title 13 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Misdemeanors fall into Classes 1-3 (maximum 6 months in jail and $2,500 fine for a Class 1 misdemeanor under ARS § 13-707). Felonies fall into Classes 1-6, with Class 1 (homicide) the most serious and Class 6 the least; felony convictions carry prison exposure and the potential loss of civil rights including firearms ownership.
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.
