Timberlane, WA: RAP SHEET EXPUNGE INFO

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