What kind of felony can be expunged in Arizona?
Arizona uses the term "setting aside" for record clearing or expungement. Arizona Revised Statute (ARS 13-907) allows a defendant to petition the court to have a conviction set aside after the terms of the sentence are met. If the court grants the petition, the "person be released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the conviction other than those imposed by the Department of Transportation…" The conviction can be used in any subsequent criminal prosecution. Arizona Revised Statute allows those convicted of a felony to have their civil rights restored. Civil rights are restored automatically after completing a sentence for a first felony. Additionally, in most felony cases, it is possible can apply to have your gun rights restored.

It all depends on the law of the state in which the conviction occurred. The court that convicted you will apply the law of its state.

It can be called such things as expungement, record sealing, vacating a conviction, and setting aside a judgment. Most counties have a public defender's office who will file a petition for record clearance (expungement, vacating, setting-aside, sealing, or whatever it is called in your state) for free-- though most public defenders have a low-income requirement. They may also have packets on how to do it yourself. If you have financial means, you can have an attorney handle it for you. There are law firms that specialize in record clearing. If your conviction was in federal court, you cannot have your conviction expunged.

How do you erase you felony records as an adult?
The answer to this will vary depending on what state your conviction record is in. Please be specific when asking questions. Many states allow a felony to be removed from a person's record. Each state has their own procedure and eligibility requirements for expungement of convictions. Accordingly, I would need to know what state your conviction was to answer your question. In general, the process involves petitioning the court where you were convicted and demonstrating that you meet the legal requirements or standards necessary to have your record cleared. If your conviction was in federal court, you cannot have your conviction expunged. However, some states, such as Arizona, will allow you to petition to have all of your civil rights and gun rights restored after a federal conviction. Most counties have a public defender's or legal aid office that will file a petition for record clearance (expungement, vacating, setting-aside, sealing, or whatever it is called in your state) for free-- though most public defenders have a low-income requirement. They may also have packets on how to do it yourself. If you have financial means, I would highly recommend having an attorney handle it for you. However, there are many others. If you are paying someone, just make sure they are licensed attorneys who have experience clearing records. Many attorneys will give a money back guarantee. Also, if you have convictions in multiple states, make sure your attorney understands the record clearing laws in both states because proceeding in the wrong order could cost you your eligibility in one of the states. In other terms you have a zero out of none chance because it will stay on your record for your whole life it also depends what you did and if you won the case then you are good and you don't have a felony record also keep in mind that you have to have one of the best lawyers. *linda*
