What Rights Can Be Restored?
After a felony conviction in Arizona, individuals lose several civil rights, including:
- The right to vote
- The right to serve on a jury
- The right to run for and hold public office
- The right to own or possess a firearm
- Eligibility for certain professional licenses
Some of these rights may be automatically given back to first-time offenders, but others, especially gun rights, need a formal request to the court. Depending on your criminal record and the specifics of your sentence, the rules and deadlines are different.
A Guadalupe restoration of civil and gun rights lawyer can review your record and help determine which rights you may be eligible to restore.
Who Is Eligible for Rights Restoration?
Under Arizona law, eligible individuals are allowed to restore their rights—but the process isn’t automatic. That’s where a Guadalupe restoration of civil and gun rights lawyer comes in. Eligibility depends on several factors:
- People who commit a felony for the first time may automatically get back their civil rights, except for their right to own a gun, after they finish their sentence
- If you have multiple felonies, you must apply to restore your civil rights
- You always have to file a separate petition to get your gun rights back, even if this is your first conviction
- Certain offenses may disqualify you or lengthen the waiting period for gun rights restoration
