Criminal Defense Laws in Arizona.

Class 1: life/death. Class 2: 3–12.5 years (mitigated to aggravated). Class 3: 2–8.75 years. Class 4: 1–3.75 years. Class 5: 0.5–2.5 years. Class 6: 4 months–2 years. "Crimes of violence" and repeat offenders face significantly enhanced ranges.

Class 1: up to 6 months jail, $2,500 fine. Class 2: up to 4 months jail, $750 fine. Class 3: up to 30 days jail, $500 fine. Prior same-class misdemeanor convictions within 2 years enhance to the next higher class.

Standard DUI (BAC 0.08+): Class 1 misdemeanor. Extreme DUI (BAC 0.15+): Class 1 misdemeanor with enhanced penalties. Aggravated DUI (3rd offense within 7 years, suspended license, or minor in vehicle): Class 4 felony.

Arizona does not offer traditional expungement. A person may apply to have a judgment of guilt set aside after completing all sentence conditions. The conviction still appears on the record but is marked as "set aside." Does not apply to certain sex offenses, crimes against children, or DUI with suspended license.

Class 4/5/6 felonies: eligible after 2 years post-completion. Class 2/3 felonies: eligible after 5 years. Provides additional relief beyond basic set-aside, including restoration of firearm rights (with exceptions).
