AZ Expungement Lawyer Reviews
"Unfortunately I was involved in an accident a few years back that was my fault. My attorney Arja was a true lifesaver for me. She handled everything for me and was able to get my license reinstated and the charge doesn't show up on my driving record. I highly recommend her for anyone in need of expungement services."
Mrs. Shah was able to seal my record, which has given me a fresh start and the ability to move on from my past mistakes. The process was handled with professionalism and Arja was always available to answer my questions. I'm eternally grateful!
"Arja was a lifesaver for me. I had a record that was holding me back from getting the job I wanted because I had to "check the box" on applications. Arja was able to successfully get it set aside. The process was smooth and stress-free, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Arja for anyone in need of expungement services."
"I was arrested and charged with DUI a few years ago and I have my CDL and do not want it to show anywhere on my MVD record. Arja helped make that possible! Without her help to remove the charge off my record and seal my record, I would always live with the guilt of it being there."
"Arja was incredible with my case. She was patient with me as it was my first time dealing with anything law related and I had a million questions. She always had my back. Now that the one mistake I made is in the past, I can finally move on without the stigma of a bad record. I totally recommend Arja Shah to anyone in the valley who needs her help."
