The Pima County Attorney's Misdemeanor Unit handles cases that legally classified are lower than felonies that occur in the unincorporated areas of Pima County, including Green Valley and Ajo. These crimes are dealt with in Pima County Justice Court and are punishable by incarceration for up to one year in the county jail rather than the state corrections facility. These offenses include among other crimes, minor driving while under the influence, domestic violence, theft, cruelty to animals, simple assault, trespassing, shoplifting, issuing a bad check, and disorderly conduct. Some of the attorneys and support staff in this unit specialize in particular areas of law such as domestic violence and DUI.
