Arizona - Setting Aside of a Judgment

$400 for Misdemeanors - $600 for Felonies - $675 for Felonies w/ Restoration of Gun Rights


Arizona law (ARS 13-907) offers setting aside judgment designed to help deserving people be more productive and get more out of life.  Once your judgment is set aside, you can answer with confidence to any inquiry, including, without limitation, an inquiry relating to an application for employment, that you have not been convicted of a crime (though, in instances of a felony, you must also call attention to your setting aside order).  If the crime you were convicted of was a felony, we can also apply to have your civil rights restored.  Additionally, in most felony cases in state or federal court, we can apply to have your gun rights restored for an additional charge of $75.

 

Take Our Free Online Eligibility Test

Eligibility for setting aside judgment in Arizona requires that you have fulfilled the conditions of your probation or sentence and been discharged by the court.  Additionally, if you have been convicted of two or more felonies and sentenced to prison, you must wait two full years before applying for the judgment to be set aside, to restore your civil rights, and restore you gun rights. 




Additionally, you may not set aside your judgment if you were convicted of any of the following offenses:

  • A crime involving the infliction of serious physical injury.
  • A crime involving the use of exhibition of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.
  • A crime where you are required to register as a sex offender.
  • A crime where there was a finding of sexual motivation.
  • A crime where the victim was a minor under fifteen years of age.
  • A violation pursuant to 28-3473, which is driving on a suspended or canceled license
  • A violation of any local ordinance relating to stopping, standing, or operation of a vehicle

 

Most violations of Arizona’s traffic and vehicle regulations (DUIs and reckless driving, however, CAN be set aside)

Restoration of Civil Rights

 

If it is your first felony conviction in state or federal court, your civil rights are automatically restored (this does not include gun rights).  If you have been convicted of more than one felony in state or federal court, we can apply to have your civil rights restored.  This will restore your right to vote, right to hold public office, and right to serve as a juror.

 

Restoration of Second Amendment Rights

 

If our offense was not considered a "dangerous" or "serious" offense, Second Amendment (firearm) rights can be restored after two years from the date of discharge from probation. If you were convicted of a serious offense or what would be a "serious offense" under 13-604, you can have your Second Amendment rights restored 10 years after you have been discharged from probation or released from prison. If your offense was considered a "dangerous offense" under section 13-604 (This usually means a felony conviction involving the intentional or knowing infliction of serious physical injury or the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument), Second Amendment rights cannot be restored.

 

There is an additional $75 charge to apply for a restoration of Second Amendment Rights.

Answers to Common Questions

 

How long does it take to set aside my judgment of guilt?  Typically, six to eight weeks.


Will I be able to answer "no" to questions about whether I have been convicted? While the statute seems to make clear that you can answer "no" in all instances, an Arizona court did say that in felony cases, you must disclose that there was a case against you, but it was dismissed. So until the court or legislature clarifies the matter, you can simply answer "no" in misdemeanor cases. In Felony cases you will need to answer "I have no criminal convictions, but I had a case that was dismissed and there is no finding of guilt."

 

What will show-up if someone does a background check on me? The court records and records at the Arizona Department of Safety records will show that the judgement has been set aside and the case is closed.

 

Will I need to go to court? No, we go for you.

Am I eligible for my judgment of guilt to be set aside? 
If you have fulfilled the conditions of your probation or sentence and been discharged by the court, you can likely apply to have your conviction set aside.

Does it matter if I pled guilty or no contest? No, it does not matter. We can set aside your conviction regardless of what you pled.

What happens after my conviction is set aside? You will receive a court order setting aside your conviction and dismissing your case. Criminal record databases will be updated to reflect that your conviction was set aside and your case is closed.

How do I restore my Second Amendment Rights? Second Amendment rights can be restored if you were not convicted of a dangerous offense under section 13-604 for state cases or what would be a dangerous offense under section 13-604 in federal cases.  If you were convicted of a serious offense or what would be a serious offense under 13-604, you can have your Second Amendment rights restored 10 years after you have been discharged from probation or released from prison.  For all other felonies, you may not file for restoration of your Second Amendment rights after two years of your discharge from probation or release from prison.  For a detailed explanation on restoration of Second Amendment rights, click here.

 

How do I restore my right to vote?  When you apply to set aside your judgment, we can also file to restore your civil rights.  If granted, this will restore your voting rights.

Can I make payments or pay with a credit card? Yes, we can create a payment plan and we can accept credit cards.

What doesn’t setting aside my record do? Your record will reflect that the conviction has been set aside and the charges have been dismissed.  It does not go off of your record for sentencing purposes for any future crime.

This is Arizona's equivalent to record sealing and expungement is setting aside a finding of guilt or conviction. Like California's expungement law, it can give you the right to tell employers that you have not been convicted.
