Outcome: Reduced to Probation 

Description: Maricopa County, State v. AT.  AT was charged with three counts  of Aggravated DUI, Class 4 Felonies.  AT had one prior felony conviction.  The State initially offered a plea to Aggravated DUI and for AT to serve 6 months in the Department of Corrections and be placed on standard probation.  Attorneys at Castillo Law showed that the only reason AT had the prior felony conviction was because AT owed fines but had otherwise complied with all terms of AT’s prior felony.  Upon a showing of extreme hardship if AT were to go to prison, AT was offered a plea to 60 days of jail and a plea to an endangerment combination with a misdemeanor dui.  At sentencing, AT received two years of probation.
