What Can a Green Valley Restoration of Civil and Gun Rights Lawyer Help You Recover?
If you’ve been convicted of a felony in Arizona, certain rights may be taken away—but many can be restored through the legal process. These may include:
- Your right to vote in local and federal elections
- Eligibility to serve on a jury
- The ability to run for public office
- The right to legally own or possess a firearm
In some situations—particularly first-time, non-violent convictions—some civil rights may be restored automatically once your sentence is complete. But for others, including firearm rights or repeat convictions, a court petition is required.
How a Lawyer Can Help Get Your Rights Back
Restoring your rights involves more than just paperwork. Arizona law imposes strict eligibility rules, filing requirements, and waiting periods. A mistake can lead to unnecessary delays or denial.
Here’s how we can support you:
- Evaluate your record to confirm eligibility
- Prepare and file your petition with the appropriate court
- Represent you at hearings, if needed
- Communicate with the court and monitor all deadlines
- Advocate for your restoration with a clear, fact-based legal strategy
We handle the legal side—so you can focus on moving forward.
Restoring Gun Rights in Arizona After a Felony
Restoring your Second Amendment rights after a felony in Arizona depends on the type of conviction and how much time has passed. Here’s what you should know:
- For non-serious felonies, you can petition to restore your firearm rights two years after your absolute discharge (after completing probation, parole, or prison time).
- For serious offenses under A.R.S. §13-706, the waiting period increases to ten years.
If your conviction is classified as a dangerous offense—often involving weapons or domestic violence under A.R.S. §13-704—restoration is not allowed under Arizona law. - Even if your civil rights were restored automatically, gun rights require a separate petition.
- A set-aside does not automatically restore gun rights.
- Federal law may still prohibit firearm possession, even if Arizona approves restoration.
- We’ll help you understand how both laws apply in your case.
