A felony conviction can leave lasting consequences—even after your sentence is complete. In Arizona, it can mean losing rights you may have once taken for granted: voting, sitting on a jury, running for public office, or legally owning a firearm. But those losses don’t have to be permanent. If you’ve completed your sentence and met all court-ordered obligations, you may be eligible to restore your rights under Arizona law. At Lerner and Rowe Law Group, a knowledgeable Queen Creek restoration of civil and gun rights lawyer is ready to help you navigate the legal process and fight for a second chance.

What Civil Rights Can Be Restored?
Depending on your criminal record and the details of your case, you may be able to restore:
- Your right to vote
- Your right to serve on a jury
- Your right to run for public office
- Your right to own or possess a firearm
For many first-time, non-violent felony convictions, some rights may be automatically restored once you’ve completed your sentence, completed probation, and paid any required restitution. But firearm rights are a different story—they’re never restored automatically.
To restore your gun rights, you must file a formal petition with the court and, in some cases, appear before a judge. That’s where having the right lawyer by your side makes all the difference.
Who Qualifies for Rights Restoration?
If your conviction was for a first-time felony and you’ve completed all sentencing terms, your civil rights (aside from gun rights) may already be eligible for automatic restoration. If you’ve had more than one felony conviction, you’ll need to petition the court for restoration.
Firearm rights always require a formal court petition—no matter how old your conviction is or whether it was your first. Additionally, if your charge involved violence or a weapon, the process becomes more complicated and might take longer or be prohibited altogether under Arizona law.
Our attorneys understand the fine print of ARS 13-905 and ARS 13-910. We’ve helped people throughout Queen Creek confidently navigate the process of restoring their rights.
