Deferred Prosecution

Arizona Theft Charges Defense

In Arizona, misdemeanor theft crimes involving first-time offenders will often result in what is known as a "deferred prosecution." A deferred prosecution allows you to avoid conviction in exchange for meeting the terms and conditions of your agreement with the prosecutor. In this sense, it operates very much like a diversion program.

If you have been arrested for and charged with shoplifting or another type of "minor" theft crime, put more than 25 years of criminal defense experience to work for you and contact the Phoenix, Arizona, law offices of Billar & Donald, P.C.
