Mukilteo, WA: CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGE DETAILS

The criminal conviction will normally constantly remain on the individual's state criminal record till a legal motion (demand) to vacate conviction is brought under RCW 9.96.060 before the same court after a particular time period. For most criminal misdemeanor & gross misdemeanor convictions, the time duration is normally 3 to 5 years after court probation ends and after all monetary responsibilities owed to the court have been fully satisfied. And there should not be any brand-new criminal convictions/ charges/ arrests because the conviction sought to be vacated.
