What Is Expungement, And How Is It Defined Under Washington Criminal Law?

Expungement is a statutory-based process where you have a conviction and you’re looking to remove it from your criminal history. You must meet statutory requirements; it’s not discretionary.

If you meet the requirements, the court will order that your record be expunged. If you do not meet the requirements of the statute, there are no grounds for expungement whatsoever.

What Critical Financial Documents Are Needed To Win A Spousal Maintenance Case?

The ability could be earned income, a substantial stock portfolio, restricted stock units (RSUs) or substantial money in bank accounts. You also need to show the trajectory of their earning capabilities.

Will I Lose My Driver’s License Immediately After A DUI Arrest In Washington State?

You will not lose your license immediately, but there is a high likelihood your license will be suspended. When you are charged with a DUI, it triggers a notice to the Department of Licensing (DOL). The DOL will notify you as to the duration your license will be suspended.

After you receive this notice, you need to respond within 15 days and pay a $375 fee to request a hearing. We do not recommend participating in DOL hearings because they are only looking for information on if you were driving, were you in King county or Washington state, and were you under the influence. In our experience, 95% of hearings result in you being found to have violated one or more of the factors the DOL considers.
