The challenge
Three Class 6 Felony counts on a single case read as a property-crime block on a criminal history search. Criminal Trespass, Theft, and Possession of Burglary Tools cluster together and prompt employers and landlords to stop reading the rest of the application. The class level pushes the response higher and the count stack adds visual weight to the entry.
Sealing under ARS § 13-911 was the cleanup tool. The statutory wait for a Class 6 Felony is five years from judge-ordered non-financial completion. The client had cleared the wait across all three counts, completed every monetary obligation, and lived clean during the wait. The application was ready to file.
What we did
Future First filed the Application to Seal Records under ARS § 13-911 in Maricopa County Superior Court. The application covered all three Class 6 Felony counts. The package documented the wait period from judge-ordered non-financial completion, full monetary compliance, the absence of new criminal matters during the wait, and the factors the court weighs under § 13-911.
Multi-count felony sealing applications run on the same criminal motion cycle as single-count applications. The court reviews the application as a whole and enters one order covering the entire case file. The 294-day grant cycle reflects how Maricopa County Superior Court processes a multi-count felony sealing application when the documentation lines up cleanly. The application held up at every step.
The judge signed the order. Sealing Record Granted on all three felony counts. The case file is sealed from public view. Background checks that consume the sealed-records database no longer return the case. The applicant can lawfully deny the convictions in most non-law-enforcement contexts.

If you have multiple felony counts on one case
ARS § 13-911 seals the case file rather than individual counts. The application covers every count on the case and the order seals the entire file. The wait period runs from judge-ordered non-financial completion on the case, not from completion on each count separately.
Multi-count property felony cases are common in Arizona. The trespass, theft, and burglary tools block runs together in many case files. The sealing application addresses the block as a single unit. Clean applications built on documented compliance clear the review on the merits.
Sealing under § 13-911 closes public access to the file. The applicant can lawfully deny every count on the case in most non-law-enforcement contexts. Background-check vendors that consume the sealed-records database no longer return the case.
