Phoenix Expungement Attorney
Expungement Lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona
Expungement is the removal of court and police records from public inspection.
Arizona’s equivalent to Expungement is referred to as “setting
aside.” Arizona’s
setting aside judgment law was designed to help people previously convicted of crimes become more
productive and put their pasts behind them. Once your judgment is set
aside, you might be able to answer on an application for employment without
having to admit that you have been convicted of a crime. If you have been
convicted of a felony in Phoenix you could also have your civil rights
restored under Arizona law. You can also apply to have your gun rights
restored in most felony cases in state and federal court.
