If your charges were for possession only without the intention of selling, you may be eligible for deferred prosecution sentencing. This means you may be eligible for a second chance, so to speak, by the court. It involves a probationary time frame. If the probationary term and any other orders deemed by the court are fulfilled successfully, your charges may be dismissed. But if the probationary period and related orders are violated, you could be subject to the original potential sentencing for the offense. An experienced Marijuana Lawyer will do everything possible to obtain the deferred prosecution and dismissal of the charges.
Even if you do not qualify for deferred prosecution, your Arizona criminal attorney can still make every effort to get your case dismissed, secure lesser charges, or in the least a significantly better outcome in your case, than would have been possible without one.
