Common questions about Criminal Defense in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
What rights do I lose with a felony conviction in Arizona?
A felony conviction results in loss of voting rights (until completion of the sentence; restored automatically for first-time felons under ARS § 13-907), the right to possess firearms (ARS § 13-3101), the right to serve on a jury, and certain professional licenses. Some rights are restored automatically; others require a petition to the court under ARS § 13-908.
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.
What is a plea bargain and how common is it in Arizona?
A plea bargain is a negotiated agreement between the prosecutor and defendant for a reduced charge, reduced sentence, or both, in exchange for a guilty or no-contest plea. Roughly 90-95% of Arizona criminal cases resolve by plea rather than trial. The judge must accept the plea (Rule 17, Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure) and confirm that it is knowing, intelligent, and voluntary.
