Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona

The charges are extremely serious. If convicted, the offenses for sexual misconduct for a victim over 15 at the time of the offense is a class 6 felony. A Class 6 felony could result in a 2 yr prison term, or probation for the remainder of his life. The offenses and the penalties must be run consecutive. The Sexual Abuse is a class 5 felony with a potential of 2.5 years in prison yrs in prison. The potential lifetime probation and year in jail would be the same. You really should consider retaining counsel if possible.

I agree the charges are serious, but it's important to remember that they are only unproven allegations. I have had many clients facing far more serious sexual offenses, only to later have them dismissed, or acquitted by a not guilty verdict. It's important to have an aggressive and thorough defense. Having been doing this for two decades now, and having defended too many sex cases to remember, I know the steps to take to effectively represent a client in this type of situation. If you are looking to hire an attorney to represent your relative, give me a call at (six zero two) two two two - nine two three seven.
