A felony conviction doesn’t just end with time served—it can stick with you, affecting your everyday life long after your sentence is over. In Arizona, that might mean losing your right to vote, sit on a jury, run for public office, or legally own a firearm. These restrictions aren’t just legal—they’re personal. The good news? You may be eligible to get those rights back. With the help of a Cottonwood restoration of civil and gun rights lawyer at Lerner and Rowe Law Group, you can take steps toward restoring your freedom—and your future.

What Rights Can Be Restored After a Felony?
Arizona law allows for the restoration of several civil rights that may have been lost after a felony conviction. Depending on your case, you might be able to restore:
- Your right to vote
- The ability to serve on a jury
- Eligibility to hold public office
- The right to own or possess a firearm
In some first-time, non-violent felony cases, civil rights may be automatically restored once your sentence is complete. But in many situations—especially if you want to restore gun rights—you’ll need to go through a formal court process.
Restoring your civil rights is about more than checking a box. It’s about rejoining your community on your own terms.
Gun Rights Restoration in Arizona: Key Considerations
Getting your gun rights back is not automatic. Arizona has strict rules based on the nature of your offense:
- For many felonies, you can petition the court two years after completing your sentence.
- For more serious convictions (under A.R.S. §13‑706), there’s a 10-year waiting period.
- If your crime involved a dangerous offense (as defined in A.R.S. §13‑704), you may not qualify at all.
- Setting aside a conviction is not the same as restoring gun rights.
- Federal law may still block gun ownership, even if your Arizona rights are restored.
Navigating these overlapping laws takes careful planning—and the right legal team.
