Restoration Of Rights
A criminal conviction can result in the denial of significant rights including the right to vote and gun rights. In addition, a criminal record can result in the loss of a job or a job prospect, the denial of a security clearance, or the inability to obtain credit or rent a home or apartment. Fortunately, in many circumstances a criminal conviction can be vacated, and the record sealed.* This process, known as vacation, is sometimes referred to as expungement. It can best be done with the help of an experienced attorney. If you are seeking restoration of rights in Tacoma, Lakewood, Fife or surrounding areas, please contact us.
* The following is a non-exclusive list of crimes which may not be vacated: any federal criminal conviction (including Special or General Court Martial convictions); any Class A Felony, any violent offense or serious violent offense, any offense found to have been committed with sexual motivation.
