Having a felony on your record can negatively impact your life in significant ways. Arizona may classify crimes as Class 6 undesignated felonies, meaning you can potentially have the felony reduced to a misdemeanor<\/a> after your probation. Keep in mind that your charge will be treated as a felony crime unless and until it\u2019s reduced.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

You may also be able to negotiate a reduction to your charge straight away if you have a low-level felony, by working with an attorney. With some felony crimes, a judge may leave it undesignated or reduce it to a misdemeanor at the end of your trial. If you\u2019re interested in doing this, it\u2019s advisable to consult a criminal defense attorney right away.<\/span><\/p>\n
