Take our free no-obligation eligibility test: it's the easiest way to quickly and accurately evaluate your unique case.

The state of Washington allows the court to vacate certain non-violent misdemeanor convictions. Once vacated (expunged), the case is no longer deemed a conviction. State law gives you the right to exclaim to anyone, including prospective employers, that you were NOT convicted of that offense, after a vacate motion has been granted.

With more than 80 percent of employers conducting background checks, having your record vacated is a great investment.

Once a conviction is vacated (expunged), the fact that you have been convicted of the offense will not be included in your criminal history for purposes of determining a sentence in any subsequent conviction. For all purposes, including responding to questions on employment or housing applications, a person whose conviction has been vacated may state that he or she has never been convicted of that crime.

Not all offenses are eligible and you must meet a waiting period that starts from the time you complete your probation and pay all fines and restitution. Take the free online eligibility test to see if you are eligible. The waiting periods are:

  • Class B Felony: 10 Years (Felonies before 7/1/1984 are not eligible)
  • Class C Felony: 5 Years (Felonies before 7/1/1984 are not eligible)
  • Domestic Violence: 5 Years (Must be the only conviction involving Domestic Violence)
  • Misdemeanor: 3 Years
  • Gross Misdemeanor: 3 Years
  • Diversion/Deferred Judgment: 2 Years
  • Sex offenses and DUI offenses are not eligible

The typical case in Washington takes about 3 to 4 months. The courts operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so the sooner you start, the sooner your record is cleared.

Our flat-fee includes all costs. We will conduct the research, file the necessary motions, respond to written or oral opposition from the District attorney, and send one of our attorneys to court to argue the case in front of the judge.

In most cases, you will not have to physically appear in court. You can let us handle all the work, while you track the progress of your case online.

We have handled hundreds of cases in Washington. Our low-price and money back guarantee are unbeatable. Trust us to make sure you get a great deal and the maximum amount of relief.

Our exclusive Expedited Criminal Database Update service allows us to have the leading background check companies reflect changes to your criminal record in less than 14 days, instead of months and even years like our competitors.
