Vacating Criminal Convictions in Washington
Living with an old conviction? Your case might not be over! Many people successfully have their criminal convictions vacated, opening doors to better employment, housing, and licensing opportunities. A criminal defense attorney who knows Washington’s vacatur process can assess whether your record qualifies and move the petition forward.
Many people successfully have their criminal convictions vacated, opening doors to:
- Better employment opportunities
- Improved credit and housing options
- Business licensing eligibility
- Professional certifications
- Educational opportunities
You’ve done the hard work of moving forward — now let us help you take the final step. Prior theft convictions are among the most common records we help vacate, and our theft crime attorney background means we already know how those charges were built and where the path to relief lies.
Reducing Legal Financial Obligations (LFOs)
Struggling with monthly court fines? You might qualify for significant reductions. Drug convictions in particular tend to carry heavy LFOs that compound over time, and our drug possession lawyer experience means we know exactly where those obligations can be challenged or reduced.
Through Washington’s Legal Financial Obligation reduction process, you could:
- Reduce monthly payment amounts
- Eliminate interest and fees
- Qualify for full refunds in some cases
- Get payment plans that fit your budget
Money is always tight, but it could be better. Many people don’t realize they qualify for LFO reductions until they apply. DUI convictions are one of the most frequent sources of ongoing financial obligations we see, and our DUI attorney practice handles both the original charge and the post-conviction financial fallout.
Firearm Rights Restoration
Want to go hunting with family? Concerned about personal safety? It’s your Second Amendment right—get it back.
If a criminal conviction has taken away your right to possess firearms, we can help you:
- Navigate Washington’s rights restoration process
- File the necessary court petitions
- Present your case for restoration
- Handle all legal paperwork and procedures
You may be eligible for firearm rights restoration even with felony convictions.
