Allentown, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE DETAILS

For many criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time period is normally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all financial commitments owed to the court have been fully satisfied. And there must not be any new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests since the conviction sought to be vacated.
