TASC Placements

Arizona Drug Possession Lawyers

Because most illegal drug users need medical help rather than a six-by-eight cell, Arizona's criminal justice system has responded with legislation such as Proposition 200 and sentencing alternatives such as Drug Court, Maricopa County's Early Disposition Court (EDC) and the statewide Treatment Assessment Screening Center (TASC) program.

If you or someone close to you has been arrested for using, possessing or purchasing drugs, he or she may be eligible to avoid the harsh consequences of conviction and participate in either the TASC or EDC programs. Our attorneys can help you pursue either option.

At Billar & Donald, we help first- and second-time drug offenders take advantage of the eligibility they have to avoid criminal conviction on various drug charges under Arizona's Proposition 200. In order to be eligible for TASC participation, you must:

• Not have completed a TASC program previously
• Have no prior felony convictions
• Not currently be charged with any felony other than possession of drug paraphernalia
• Not currently be on probation or parole
• Not have been convicted of a misdemeanor drug charge in the previous two years

Our attorneys handle drug cases on behalf of TASC eligible clients in the Phoenix area and throughout Arizona. In Maricopa County, the Early Disposition Court provides another option for first-time offenders. An EDC case can usually be handled in one day. If this is a realistic option in your case, we'll be very proactive in explaining your situation and the reasons why you are a good candidate for either of these diversion programs.
