Eligibility: You must first determine if you are eligible for an expungement. This may depend on the nature of the crime, the length of time since the conviction, and whether you have any prior convictions.
Filing a petition: Once you have determined that you are eligible, you must file a petition for expungement. This petition will typically include information about your criminal record and the reasons why you are seeking an expungement.
Notice to the prosecution: After you file the petition, the prosecution will be notified and given an opportunity to object to the expungement.
Hearing: Depending on the jurisdiction, a hearing may be held in which the prosecution, the victim, and any other interested parties can provide testimony and evidence.
Decision: After the hearing, the judge will decide whether or not to grant the expungement.
Implementation: If the expungement is granted, the court will issue an order directing relevant agencies, such as the police, to remove your criminal record from public view.
An expungement is a legal process that involves petitioning the court to remove a criminal record from public view. It means that certain agencies such as law enforcement, some employers, and some licensing agencies can still access your records, but it will not be visible to the public.
Eligibility for expungement in Arizona depends on the nature of the crime, the length of time since the conviction, and whether you have any prior convictions. Some examples of crimes that may be eligible for expungement include non-violent felonies, misdemeanors, and certain drug offenses.
The expungement process can take several months in Arizona depending on the jurisdiction and the court’s schedule. It is important to note that the process can be complex and time-consuming, and it is recommended to hire a law firm with expertise in expungements to ensure that the process is handled efficiently and effectively.
An expungement does not erase the record of your conviction, it only seals it from public view. Therefore, depending on the jurisdiction, an expungement may not restore certain rights, such as the right to vote or the right to own a firearm.
