    Default Arizona Diversion for Domestic Violence and Future Gun Purchase

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona

    I was charged with Domestic Violence 4 years ago and I was told diversion was the way to go even though I wanted to fight the charges as self defense. After having spent $5k on a defense lawyer, I was out of money and told what I had paid would only get me to a diversion plea and not enough to go to trial to fight it. It was explained to me that if I accepted diversion that all charges would be dropped. I completed all the requirements of the program and honestly I really enjoyed the classes. I was considering purchasing a .22 chipmunk rifle to shoot with my 7 year old son and I was told I was banned from owning or purchasing a gun by a friend. The judge never said I would lose my right to own a gun in the future. I was basically told by the judge everything would go away once I completed the classes. I am so upset to know that I may have lost a right...I would have never agreed to diversion knowing that. I would have fought the charges. Any help would be great....and thank you for anytime you spend answering my question.

    I cannot review your record from here, and the details are important. Are you stating that you were never convicted, or that you were convicted and your conviction was set aside or expunged at the end of your term of probation? If you're not sure, check the court record or see if the lawyer who represented you can advise.
