Not necessarily. In Arizona, some civil rights (like voting and jury service) may be automatically restored after completing your sentence. However, firearm rights require a separate court petition under A.R.S. § 13-910.

Additionally, federal firearms restrictions may apply independently of state law. An attorney experienced in both state and federal firearms law can evaluate your full situation.

Arizona 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. An eligibility review can determine your options.

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.

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.
