Marijuana Crimes in Arizona
Beresky & Fish, P.C. — Phoenix, Arizona, Defense Attorneys
In Arizona, possession of just a small amount of marijuana is a Class 6 felony — even if it's only for personal use. Because of the potential for severe consequences, counting on a prosecutor to see you for "the decent person" you are, to understand that it's just a little "pot," that you're sorry and that they should go easy on you are not risks you want to take.
We know. We used to be prosecutors ourselves.
If you or someone close to you has been arrested on a marijuana charge of any type, contact Beresky & Fish, P.C. for a free consultation and for experienced defense lawyers who can help.
Working toward a Positive Result
Conviction on a marijuana charge has serious consequences, criminal and otherwise. If you're young and still in school, it could mean not only jail time and expenses you can't afford, it could also mean losing your federal student loan funding. If you're older and already in the job market, it could mean the difference between being hired and not getting the job.
That said, a conviction doesn't have to happen.
Charges could be dropped. We could obtain an acquittal for you at trial. A plea agreement on lesser charges could be offered. In drug cases, you may also be looking at options such as having your case handled in a special drug court or being offered deferred sentencing or a diversion. Whatever the options available to you are, our firm can guarantee you this: Achieving the best possible outcome is what we'll be focused on throughout your case.
