The stakes
The client faced a Class 1 Misdemeanor solicitation-related charge under ARS § 13-3214 in Tolleson Municipal Court. A C1M conviction in this category would have meant up to 180 days of jail under ARS § 13-707, a fine up to $2,500 plus 84 percent surcharges, supervised probation up to three years, mandatory education programs, and a permanent C1M conviction in a sensitive category on the client’s record that surfaces on every employment, housing, professional licensing, and immigration background screen.
What we did
Future First negotiated the case down two classes from a Class 1 Misdemeanor solicitation-related charge to a Class 3 Misdemeanor Loitering under ARS § 13-2905(A) with deferred prosecution. The client completed a $120 life skills class and paid a $500 deferred prosecution fee. The case was dismissed in full upon completion of the diversion. No conviction entered. No probation. No jail. Set aside under ARS § 13-905 not needed because no conviction was entered. Arrest record sealing under ARS § 13-911 available immediately after dismissal, eligible approximately 2026.

If you’re facing sensitive-category misdemeanor charges in Arizona
The two-class reduction from C1M to C3M plus deferred prosecution is a layered structure that produces the strongest possible outcome short of full charge dismissal. The two-class reduction drops the offense severity. The deferred prosecution then closes the case without conviction. The C3M designation never enters the record because the case dismisses upon completion of the deferred prosecution.
The substitute Loitering charge under § 13-2905 captures the underlying conduct in a different category that does not carry the sensitive-offense flag. Background checks return a Loitering-category result rather than a solicitation-category result, which reads significantly less severely.
