My question involves expungements or pardons for the state of:
My question involves criminal records for the state of: Arizona

My question is, does the sentencing judge have the ability to drop an aggravated DUI (class 4 felony) to a misdemeanor sfter successful completion of probation.

I would like to return to work (nursing) and the ASBON will not allow any one convicted of a felony to apply for re-instatement unless they have the sentence set-aside then they must wait 5 yrs after the "absolute discharge".

This 5-yr condition seems to violate the spirit of the "set-aside"

Thanks!!

The purpose of "setting-aside" is to provide relief from civil disabilities and then a state agency (same state) says we won't allow you in????

I meant to say, can/will the judge set-aside these charges, whats the general success rate of trying to do this, I would like to go back to school but do not want to waste my time and money if I will remain unemployable.I have ruled out nursing long term , so the schooling would be for something else...Thanks a bunch!
