Why Do I Need Sun City Criminal Attorneys When Facing Charges?
The Sun City team of criminal defense attorneys at Lerner and Rowe Law Group regularly work within the Arizona criminal code. This knowledge allows us to develop a strong defense strategy and potentially avoid a criminal indictment or negotiate reduced penalties.
Arizona’s criminal law classifications include:
- Felony charges: Class 1 felonies are for first or second degree murder. Class 2 felonies are for possession of dangerous drugs and first-degree burglary with a firearm. Class 3 felonies are for marijuana distribution, robbery, and some kinds of fraud. Class 4 felonies are for petty thefts, forgery, and possession of heroin. Class 5 charges are for prostitution and/or public sexual indecency. Finally, Class 6 felonies are for shoplifting, resisting arrest, and felony-level DUIs.
- Misdemeanor charges: fall into different categories from petty offenses to Class 1 misdemeanors. Class 1 misdemeanors might happen due to marijuana possession, non-aggravated DUIs, or theft under $1,000. A Class 2 misdemeanor may be charged following damage to property under $250 or reckless driving. A Class 3 misdemeanor can happen due to “simple” assault, failing to appear in court for another charge, or adultery. Lastly, petty offenses may include possession of tobacco by a minor or feeding wildlife unlawfully.
- Infraction charges: traffic violations like using a mobile device while driving, or failing to wear a seatbelt. Illegal parking and failing to keep your pet on a leash also may incur infraction charges.
You may be surprised to learn that certain actions can lead to criminal charges. With a skilled attorney by your side, however, being charged with a criminal offense may be the last surprise in your case.

Possible Penalties for Crimes in Sun City, Arizona
There are many things that an Arizona court can order you to do as a result of a criminal charge. Each penalty coordinates with the classification of crime it’s related to. For instance:
- For a felony charge, you may need to spend one year or more in prison. Your charges could also mean a lifetime behind bars.
- For a misdemeanor charge, you may have to spend half a year in jail, meaning you could lose your position at your job and miss out on important family events. Fines up to $2,500 are also on the table, which you would have to pay out of your own pocket. This may also come with up to six months of jail time.
- For an infraction charge, you may need to spend hours of your valuable time in community service. You may have to pay fines from your personal savings, which can snowball into other debts. Infractions can also seriously impact your driving record, which can lead to eventually losing your license.
As we develop your defense strategy, we may be able to negotiate reduced charges or penalties. However, this depends on the specific circumstances of your case, and having an experienced attorney is essential to maximize your chances of success.
