Arizona law (ARS 13-907) offers setting aside judgment designed to help deserving people get a felony or misdemeanor conviction off of their record. Once your judgment is set aside, you can answer with confidence to any inquiry, including, without limitation, an inquiry relating to an application for employment, that you have not been convicted of a crime. If the crime you were convicted of was a felony, we can also apply to have your civil rights restored. Additionally, in most felony cases in state or federal court, we can apply to have your gun rights restored for an additional charge of $75. (en Español)
Eligibility for setting aside judgment in Arizona requires that you have fulfilled the conditions of your probation or sentence and been discharged by the court. Additionally, if you have been convicted of two or more felonies and sentenced to prison, you must wait two full years before applying for the judgment to be set aside, to restore your civil rights, and restore you gun rights.
Additionally, you may not set aside your judgment if you were convicted of any of the following offenses:

How long does it take to set aside my judgment of guilt? Typically, six to eight weeks.
Will I be able to answer "no" to questions about whether I have been convicted? While the statute seems to make clear that you can answer "no" in all instances, an Arizona court did say that in felony cases, you must disclose that there was a case against you, but it was dismissed. So until the court or legislature clarifies the matter, you can simply answer "no" in misdemeanor cases. In Felony cases you will need to answer "I have no criminal convictions, but I had a case that was dismissed and there is no finding of guilt."
