Arizona Felony Charges Lawyer
Have you been convicted of a felony and lost some of your civil rights, such as the right to carry a weapon? If you have finished your sentence, most of your rights will automatically be restored. To get back the right to possess or own a firearm or other weapon, however, you need to file a request with the judge. If you fail to do so and are found in possession of a deadly weapon, whether it be a gun or even a bow and arrow, you could be charged with a class 4 felony. An experienced attorney can help you protect and restore your rights.
At the Law Office of Rachelle S. Ferraro, I have focused my practice exclusively on criminal matters for more than 12 years. I take a straightforward approach with all my clients, giving you honest answers and a realistic assessment of your chances of getting the results you want. Board-certified as a criminal law specialist by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization, I have been a criminal defense attorney my entire career, and I am committed to fully protecting your constitutional rights. When you hire me to help you restore your civil rights, you will work directly with me throughout the process.
I offer a free initial consultation. To set up a meeting with an experienced Phoenix restoration of rights lawyer, contact my office or call me at 602-795-0770 for an appointment.
Phoenix Restoration of Rights Lawyer
A felony conviction will result in the loss of certain civil rights, including:
- The right to bear arms
- The right to be on a jury
- The right to vote
- The right to hold certain jobs
If your sentence is complete, I can help you file a motion to set aside the convictions and restore your civil rights. The amount of time after which you have completed your sentence varies if you were sentenced to probation or if you served prison. If your request is granted, your charge will be set aside. This is not an expungement and won't permanently erase the conviction from your record. The charge will still show on a background check, but this will clean up your record.
Some convictions cannot be set aside, such as any offense that resulted in the infliction of serious injury or involved the use of a deadly weapon. Charges involving sexual motivation, certain traffic offenses and any charge where the victim is under the age of 15 cannot be set aside.
A set-aside can also be very beneficial if you are seeking immigration rights. If you have been advised to request the set-aside of a conviction for immigration purposes, I can help.
