Apache Junction Justice Court Expungements and Set Asides

An expungement of your criminal record clears away all traces of a conviction. In 2023, a new set of Arizona DUI expungement laws will go into effect in the state. In the meantime, you may be able to file a petition for a set aside.

As provided for in Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-907, a granted set aside means that the Apache Junction Justice Court will set aside the judgment of guilt in your case, dismiss the complaint, and order you released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from the conviction, excluding some specific department of transportation and game and fish commission penalties.

If granted, you can say your case is dismissed, because it acts to dismiss the charging instrument.

The Apache Junction Justice Court looks to several factors in determining whether to grant a set aside, such as:

  • Compliance with the terms of the sentence imposed
  • Subsequent or prior offenses committed
  • The time elapsed since the offense
  • Your age
  • Nature of the offense
  • Victim input and status of restitution
  • And any other factor it finds relevant

Importantly, there are some offenses that can never be set aside.
