A felony conviction changes your life entirely. Suddenly, you may lose the right to vote, serve on a jury, hold public office, or possess a firearm. But that loss doesn’t have to be permanent. In Arizona, you may have options to restore your rights—and your freedom to fully participate in society. A Phoenix restoration of civil and gun rights lawyer at Lerner and Rowe Law Group can walk you through every step of that process.
If you’re ready to move forward with your life, call us at (602) 667-7777 for a free, confidential consultation. We’re here when you’re ready.
What Rights Can Be Restored in Arizona?
Depending on the details of your conviction, you may be eligible to restore several key civil rights, including:
- The right to vote
- The right to hold public office
- The right to serve on a jury
- The right to own or possess firearms
For first-time, non-violent offenses, some rights may be restored automatically after completing your sentence or probation. If it’s a second conviction or if you’re seeking to restore gun rights, you’ll need to file a formal petition with the court.
If you’re not sure what applies to you, don’t worry. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
How a Phoenix Restoration of Civil and Gun Rights Lawyer Can Help
Restoring your rights in Arizona isn’t as easy as filling out a form. You’ll need to navigate legal procedures, meet eligibility timelines, and present your case clearly and persuasively to a judge. That’s where we come in.

- Review your conviction history and confirm eligibility
- Prepare and file the required petition in the appropriate court

- Handle all paperwork and deadlines
- Advocate for your second chance with experience and clarity
We make sure everything is done right the first time so you can move forward.
Restoring Gun Rights in Arizona
The right to possess firearms is treated differently than other civil rights. Arizona law outlines specific waiting periods and eligibility rules.
Here’s what to know:
- You can petition to restore your gun rights two years after completing your sentence for a non-serious offense.
- For serious or violent felonies, the waiting period increases to ten years.
- Certain convictions may make you permanently ineligible.
We also assess federal law and how it may impact your case. If your offense involved domestic violence or a firearm-related charge, you may be under different restrictions.
Why Civil Rights Restoration Matters
Restoring your civil rights isn’t just about paperwork—it’s about reclaiming your voice and place in the community. Once restored, you may be able to:
- Register and vote again
- Apply for jobs that require full rights
- Run for local office
- Serve on a jury
- Regain your Second Amendment rights, if when eligible
A Phoenix civil rights restoration lawyer can help you get a clean break from the past and rebuild your future.
