For individuals seeking to clear their criminal records in Arizona, CleanRecord.com provides specialized services focused on record sealing and expungement. This legal process helps individuals remove their criminal history from public view, aiding in employment, housing, and other opportunities. The new Arizona laws, particularly ARS 13-911, offer a path to seal records for those who have been arrested but not convicted, or for those who have completed their sentences and waited the required time.
The process involves filing a petition with the court where the conviction or arrest occurred. Successful petitions result in court orders directing various agencies, including the Department of Public Safety, to seal the records. This ensures that, in most situations, individuals can legally state they have no criminal history, greatly enhancing their chances in job markets and other areas requiring background checks.
Arizona’s expungement law covers various offenses, but it excludes severe crimes such as those involving weapons or crimes against children. Typically, the waiting periods before one can file a petition are 10 years for serious felonies and 2-5 years for lesser offenses. For those not convicted, there is no waiting period, though recent arrests may still be subject to judicial discretion.
CleanRecord.com uses its extensive experience to navigate these legal processes, ensuring thorough and efficient service. They handle all aspects of the process, from filing petitions to responding to objections. The firm’s expertise provides clients with the best chance of success, helping them move forward without the burden of a criminal record.
