Can all Arizona criminal convictions be set aside?
Most criminal convictions can be set aside. For example, most traffic offenses, including Arizona DUI convictions and Arizona reckless driving convictions, can be set aside. However, Arizona law specifically prohibits setting aside convictions for the following offenses: A crime involving the use of a dangerous instrument (i.e. car) or exhibition of a deadly weapon (i.e. gun, knife); A crime involving or causing a serious physical injury; Crimes where there has been a finding that there was a sexual motivation or a requirement of sex offender registration; Crimes involving driving on a suspended or canceled drivers license; A crime where the victim was a minor and also under the age of fifteen; A violation of any local ordinance relating to standing, stopping, or operation of a vehicle.
