FAQ
In 2021, Arizona passed a new law allowing individuals who have had their convictions set aside to receive a “Certificate of Second Chance” from the court. This new form of relief is governed by Arizona Rev. Stat.
13-907 states that when a judge grants an application to have a conviction set aside, the offender is released from all penalties that came with the conviction.
For good cause shown, and upon terms the court deems just, the court may set aside a judgment entered upon a failure to appear. A motion to set aside a default judgment shall be made in writing within 30 days after entry of the default judgment.
Setting aside a judgment releases the citizen from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the conviction. Setting aside judgment does not seal or expunge ones record. The record is still accessible to the public. However, the record will have a notation stating that the judgment has been set aside.
If you have a criminal conviction on your record and are granted a motion to set aside, the court will set aside the judgement of guilt, dismiss the complaint, information or indictment and order that you be released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the conviction.
