Common questions about Criminal Defense in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

Can a criminal record be sealed in Arizona?

Yes, under ARS § 13-911 (effective January 2023), many Arizona criminal records can be sealed after a waiting period and full completion of the sentence. Class 1 misdemeanors and Class 4 felonies require a 5-year wait; Class 2 or 3 felonies require 10 years; certain violent and sexual offenses are not eligible. Sealed records are treated as if they never existed for most purposes, though law enforcement retains access.

Do I have to talk to police if I'm arrested in Arizona?

No. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article 2 § 10 of the Arizona Constitution protect your right to remain silent. Once you have invoked the right (clearly state 'I am invoking my right to remain silent and want a lawyer'), questioning must stop until counsel is present. You must still provide identifying information when lawfully arrested, but you are not required to discuss the alleged offense.

What rights do I lose with a felony conviction in Arizona?

A felony conviction results in loss of voting rights (until completion of the sentence; restored automatically for first-time felons under ARS § 13-907), the right to possess firearms (ARS § 13-3101), the right to serve on a jury, and certain professional licenses. Some rights are restored automatically; others require a petition to the court under ARS § 13-908.
