The challenge
Theft under ARS § 13-1802 charged as a Class 6 Felony sticks on a record until removed by court order. A Class 6 Felony Theft surfaces on every background check and triggers the full set of civil disabilities tied to a felony, including firearm restrictions and limits on professional licensing.
The client completed every term of the sentence and built a clean record afterward. The active conviction was the last barrier between the client and a clean future. ARS § 13-905 was the path through it, and the application included a firearm rights restoration request under § 13-905(D) in the same filing.
What we did
Future First filed the Application to Set Aside under ARS § 13-905 in Maricopa County Superior Court. The application covered the Class 6 Felony Theft conviction. The package documented full sentence completion, absolute discharge, the statutory factors the court weighs under § 13-905(A), and the firearm rights restoration request under § 13-905(D).
The application moved through extended court review. Future First kept the application active and tracked it through every status check. The application held up at every step and the court entered the order on the merits.
The judge signed the order. Set aside granted on the Class 6 Felony Theft count. Firearm rights restored in the same order under § 13-905(D). The conviction is vacated, the judgment of guilt is dismissed, and the civil disabilities lift in full.

If you have a felony Theft on your record
ARS § 13-905 reaches felony Theft convictions under § 13-1802 once the sentence is complete. The Class 6 Felony Theft tier is one of the most common felony charges in Arizona and the set aside path is well-traveled. Courts grant set aside on these cases on the merits where the statutory factors line up.
Firearm rights restoration runs in the same order under § 13-905(D). For first-offense felony Theft the firearm rights restoration is available alongside the set aside. The application packages both requests so the court can rule on them together.
Sealing under ARS § 13-911 is the next stage. The sealing wait for a Class 6 Felony Theft is three years from judge-ordered non-financial completion. Once the wait is satisfied, the sealing order closes public access to the file.
