Washington Vacate Conviction
The state of Washington allows the court to vacate certain non-violent convictions and to seal the record. Once vacated (expunged), the person’s criminal record will not include that case. State law gives you the right to state to anyone, including prospective employers, that you were NOT convicted of that offense, after a vacate motion has been granted. Call RecordGone.com at 877-573-7273.
Also consider expungement and criminal law attorneys.
Make sure you work with a licensed attorney… do not be fooled by “legal teams” that simply provide forms, do not provide money back guarantees or include the filing fee in the price.
