In most cases, trespassing is a misdemeanor charge, but that doesn’t mean it should be taken lightly. You can be charged with criminal trespassing if a police officer has reason to believe you are on private property without consent. The state of Arizona classifies this offense as first, second or third degree. First degree is the most extreme, but even if you are facing a lesser charge, it’s important to seek the guidance of a skilled and knowledgeable attorney.

What Are the Penalties Associated with Trespassing?

The consequences can vary based on the severity of the charge and the judge’s discretion, among other factors. However, there are maximum sentences that can be imposed for misdemeanor and felony trespassing.
