Arizona Set-Aside & Record Sealing Attorney

A set aside under ARS §13-905 and a set-aside / sealing combination under ARS §13-911 (effective January 1, 2023) can restore your rights, remove the conviction from public view, and let you truthfully answer "no" to most conviction questions.

Call 623-335-4014 to see if your conviction qualifies — many do.

ARS §13-905 (set-aside) sets aside the conviction, dismisses the charge, and releases the petitioner from all penalties and disabilities. ARS §13-911 (record sealing) goes further — it seals all records of arrest, charge, and conviction from public view. Together they form the most complete Arizona post-conviction remedy short of expungement.

Eligibility depends on the offense class, the time since completion of sentence, and the type of conviction. Most non-violent, non-sexual convictions qualify after waiting periods of 2 to 10 years. Dangerous offenses, sex offenses requiring registration, and serious driving offenses are excluded.
