In Washington State, expungement of a criminal record or criminal conviction is accomplished by Vacating the Criminal Conviction. Contact me today and I can help you along the process.

In Washington State, to expunge records by vacating the conviction does not destroy the file. However, it is possible to destroy, or expunge, an arrest record if the eligibility requirements are met. When an arrest record is expunged, the booking photos and fingerprints are destroyed and removed from the police record. It is possible to have a new beginning.

What Criminal Records can be Vacated?

Generally, you cannot expunge a record in Washington for Class A felonies (the most serious), sex crimes and violent crimes. Additionally, among misdemeanors, the state does not permit a DUI conviction to be expunged. Most other criminal records can be vacated once certain requirements are met.
