DUI Set Aside – Pioneer Justice Court

Under laws that became effective in 2023, Arizona allows for expungement of some marijuana-related criminal convictions. Arizona law now also provides a procedure to seal your criminal record in some cases. If neither of these options are available to you, then your next best option in Pioneer Justice Court is to petition for a set aside.

If you are successful, then a set aside—as provided for in Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-905—means that the Pioneer Justice Court will set aside the judgment of guilt in your case, dismiss the complaint, and order your release from all penalties and disabilities resulting from your conviction, with some exceptions.

If granted, you can essentially say that your case was dismissed as the charging instrument gets dismissed.

The Pioneer Justice Court looks at several factors in deciding set asides:

  • The nature of the offense
  • Compliance with the sentence
  • Subsequent or prior convictions
  • Input from the victim and restitution balance if any
  • Time since sentence completed
  • Age
  • Any other factor the Court finds relevant.

Some offenses can never be set aside. These include dangerous offenses, offenses that require you to register as a sex offender or for which there was a sexual motivation, and felonies involving a victim under 15.
