Finding employment during these tough economic times can be difficult at best, and having a criminal record can make it all the more challenging. If you have a felony or misdemeanor conviction in Arizona, you may be able to seek an order from the court setting aside the judgment of guilt and dismissing the charges, relieving you of some of the liabilities and disadvantages of a conviction. You may also have lost certain civil rights subsequent to your conviction, such as gun ownership rights or voting rights, and you may be able to pursue restoration of civil rights and/or gun rights.
