Prescott Valley Restoration of Civil and Gun Rights Lawyer

What Civil Rights Can Be Restored in Arizona?

If you’ve been convicted of a felony in Arizona, you may be able to restore:

  • Your right to vote
  • The ability to serve on a jury
  • Eligibility to run for public office
  • The right to own or possess a firearm

Some rights may be restored automatically after a first-time, non-violent offense. But if you’ve had multiple convictions—or want to restore your gun rights—you’ll need to file a petition and go through the legal process.

Restoring Gun Rights in Arizona After a Felony

Getting your firearm rights back in Arizona depends on several factors—including the type of conviction and how much time has passed. Here’s what you need to know:

  • For non-serious felonies, you can petition for firearm rights restoration two years after your absolute discharge (completion of sentence, probation, or parole).
  • For serious offenses listed in A.R.S. §13-706, the waiting period is ten years.
  • If your conviction is considered a dangerous offense under A.R.S. §13-704—such as a crime involving a weapon or domestic violence—you are not eligible to restore gun rights in Arizona.
  • Even if your civil rights were restored automatically, firearm rights require a separate petition.
  • A set-aside doesn’t automatically restore your gun rights either.
  • And finally, federal law may still prevent you from legally owning a firearm even after state-level restoration. We’ll help you understand both sets of rules.

FAQs About Civil and Gun Rights Restoration in Prescott Valley

How long does the restoration process take?
It depends on the case. Some petitions are approved within a few months, while others take longer, especially if hearings are involved.
Can I apply if I’ve had multiple felony convictions?

Yes, although the process can be more complex. We’ll evaluate your full record and explain what you’re eligible for and when.

Does a set-aside automatically restore my rights?

No. A set-aside may improve your record but doesn’t restore civil or firearm rights. Those require separate legal action.

Do I really need a lawyer for this?
You can file on your own—but having an attorney significantly improves your chances. We ensure everything is done right and submitted correctly.
Will this also restore my federal firearm rights?

Not necessarily. Arizona can only restore rights under state law. If federal restrictions apply, we’ll explain what that means for you.
