Relief is court-authorized and not automatic. A judge must approve your petition, which means the strength of your filing matters.
Filing errors, missed eligibility requirements, or weak petitions can delay or prevent relief. An Arizona attorney familiar with local courts and judges can evaluate your full history and recommend the most effective path forward.

Clearing a criminal record can unlock real opportunities.
Get hired without your past holding you back.
Clearing your record removes one of the largest barriers to getting hired. Employers run background checks. A clear record lets you compete on your merits instead of your past.

Criminal record clearing isn't just a legal process. It is closure. Stop worrying every time someone asks about your background. Focus on building the life you want for yourself and your family.

Complete intake formArizona does not offer traditional expungement for most felonies. However, you may be eligible for a set-aside, which vacates the conviction and shows the case as dismissed, or record sealing, which removes the record from most public background checks.
The best option depends on your specific conviction, when it occurred, and whether all sentencing terms have been completed. Our free eligibility quiz is a good first step, and a Court Records Review gives you a written report of your options.
A set-aside under A.R.S. § 13-905 allows the court to vacate your conviction and dismiss the case. The record still exists but shows the conviction was set aside, which can significantly improve your standing with employers, landlords, and licensing boards.
Set-asides are available for most misdemeanor and felony convictions in Arizona, though certain offenses involving dangerous crimes or sexual offenses may have limitations.
Yes. Arizona's record sealing law (A.R.S. § 13-911) allows eligible individuals to petition the court to seal their criminal record from public view. Once sealed, the record does not appear on most standard background checks.
Eligibility and waiting periods depend on the offense class. Your attorney will determine whether sealing, set-aside, or both may be appropriate for your situation.
Under Proposition 207 (the Smart and Safe Arizona Act), individuals convicted of certain marijuana-related offenses that are no longer illegal may petition for expungement. This is one of the few true expungement options available in Arizona.
Qualifying offenses generally include possession, consumption, and cultivation within the limits now permitted by law. An attorney can confirm whether your specific charge qualifies.
Timelines vary depending on the type of relief, the court's schedule, and the complexity of your case. Set-asides and record sealing petitions in Arizona typically take between two and six months from filing to court decision.
Once retained, your attorney will outline expected timelines based on the specific court handling your case.
We offer flat-fee pricing for all Arizona record clearing and rights restoration services. Once you receive a quote, that price does not increase regardless of how long the process takes. Because our process is built for record clearing, we can keep that flat fee low.
Pricing depends on the number and type of convictions and the specific relief being requested. A free consultation will give you a clear picture of costs before you commit to anything.
In most Arizona record clearing cases, your attorney handles all filings and court appearances on your behalf. Many petitions are decided on the written filings alone, without requiring a hearing.
If a hearing is scheduled, your attorney will prepare you and represent you in court. You will never be left to navigate the process alone.
