A: There are many different possible outcomes and the outcome will vary depending on all the circumstances of the particular case. Something important to think about is that in Arizona these charges can still be felonies, which means more jail time, fines and fees. The best possible outcome for these charges is to have them dismissed, or in the alternative, complete drug and alcohol monitoring through TASC to reduce the charge. It's best to think about hiring a lawyer for these charges or else you might not get the best deal possible.
