In Arizona, a misdemeanor offense will stay on your criminal record indefinitely unless it is sealed or expunged. Recent changes to Arizona law have made it easier for individuals to seal their criminal records.
Penalties for Class 2 Arizona Felonies Generally, a conviction for a Class 2 felony can result in a prison sentence of three to 35 years, depending on the circumstances of the offense, whether it was a dangerous offense, and whether the convicted person has prior convictions.
Non-dangerous class 2 felonies carry harsh sentences typically ranging from four to ten years, along with large fines that can be financially devastating. Crimes that qualify as a dangerous offense are listed in ARS 13-105, with sentencing guidelines listed in ARS 13-704.
However, it's a common misconception that all felonies automatically result in jail time. The truth is more nuanced. Under California law, judges possess considerable discretion in sentencing, allowing them to impose probation in certain cases instead of incarceration.
Fortunately, Arizona's criminal code offers a break for first-time felony offenders that may significantly decrease prison time. In cases involving a class 6 felony, the judge may even be able to downgrade the offense to a class 1 misdemeanor, allowing the defendant to avoid prison altogether.
For a first-time offender (with no aggravating factors), the general sentencing range for a class 2 felony is 4 to 10 years. However, dangerous and repetitive offenders can receive sentences upwards of 21 or 35 years.

The length of felony probation in Arizona depends on the severity of the offense for which the offender was convicted. For example, probation for a Class 4 felony may last up to three years, while probation for a Class 2 felony may last up to seven years.
Traditionally, felonies carry the possibility of a state prison sentence, fines, or both. However, not all felony convictions lead to jail time. Judges in California have the discretion to grant probation under specific conditions, considering various factors that extend beyond the mere categorization of the crime.
