If you are charged with a crime in Arizona, it is most likely that it will be considered a state crime. There are some cases however, when a crime is no longer a crime against the state, but a crime against the country. These cases are called federal crimes and they are serious infractions that are handled in Federal court. Being found guilty of a federal crime will most likely result in time served in a federal penitentiary.

Did you think a criminal charge is less serious if the offender is a child?  That is hardly the truth.  Throughout the Phoenix and Tempe area, children are accused and convicted of criminal charges. These convictions can result in detention, house arrest,  probation or even adult prison. They also put a huge stress on the family, and can impact your child's future.
