Can I get a deferred judgement for an aggravated misdemeanor?

You may be able to get a deferred judgment for any crime that is not a forcible felony (basically murder, sexual abuse, kidnapping, robbery, arson, or burglary).  However the law does have some restrictions.  You are only entitled to 2 in your lifetime.  You cannot get a deferred if you have been convicted of a felony.  Certain offenses are also not entitled to a deferred- such as 2nd or subsequent OWI. A deferred judgment is not a conviction. Judgment is put off until after your probation is completed.  If you complete probation successfully, then the case is dismissed.  If not, then you are returned for sentencing.
