If you’re facing a Class 6 felony in Arizona
The Felony Pretrial Intervention Program (FPIP) is the Maricopa County Attorney’s pre-conviction diversion track for eligible Class 6 felony cases. When the prosecutor agrees and the court approves, the defendant completes a structured program of conditions (counseling, community service, restitution, drug testing). On successful completion, the State suspends prosecution and the court closes the case without entering a judgment of guilt.
FPIP is not available on every Class 6 felony. Eligibility depends on the offense category, the defendant’s criminal history, the strength of the case, and the prosecutor’s discretion. Solicitation, attempted offenses, drug possession, and certain theft offenses are common candidates. Violent offenses, dangerous offenses, and offenses involving children are typically excluded.
Getting to FPIP requires defense work in the early phase of the felony case. The eligibility argument has to be made before the State commits to a hard plea posture, and the package presented to the prosecutor has to make the case that diversion serves justice better than conviction. When the State agrees, the client avoids a felony record entirely.
Future First Criminal Law has handled Class 6 felony cases across Maricopa County. We know how MCAO evaluates FPIP eligibility, how the program runs, and how to position a client for the diversion track before the case hardens into a conviction-path plea.
