 Hi, I'm David Cantor with the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor, and I'm going to talk about juvenile plea agreements in Arizona. Now, during the pre-adjudication hearing, sometimes these are called pre-trial conferences, this is where we're going to have discussions with the prosecutor for plea negotiations. Sometimes we actually negotiate pre-charge. That means the juvenile hasn't even been charged, but the police have contacted them, and we will contact the juvenile prosecutor over at the county attorney's office and try to get a deal negotiated. If you go to our site, dmcantor.com, you'll see under pre-charge investigation stage cases, you'll see exactly what we do, and you can look that up. Now, our goal is to get a dismissal of your case, or to cut a deal for diversion dismissal, that's where you do a class or write a paper, and then the charges are dismissed, or get the lowest possible outcome, a misdemeanor or probation with no jail if it's a felony. Now, when you do a change of plea, it's not to guilty in juvenile court, it's too delinquent. They call this the adjudication. They use different terms, but it means the same thing in adult court. The disposition hearing in juvenile court is a sentencing in adult court. Now, the disposition hearing usually occurs on the spot once we enter new plea agreement, or the judge can order a pre-disposition report, and then the disposition hearing or sentencing will be held within 30 days if the juvenile's in custody, or 45 days if the juvenile's out of custody. So, by the time the sentencing occurs, we will prepare a disposition memo or sentencing memorandum, and we will have photos, pictures, letters from family members, copies of awards, anything we can present to get the lowest possible outcome. So if you or a loved one have been charged and are in the juvenile system in Arizona, call us. It doesn't cost anything to meet with us. It does take about 30 minutes. We'll sit down, go over your case from top to bottom, and hopefully find a way out of this for you. Take care.
