Re: arrest record

The cost effective thing to do is contact the Washington State Patrol who provides the information that people are receiving. See if you can clear up with them why there is erroneous information appearing on your record (felony). If you fail you could hire a lawyer to handle the matter for you. Also, you can pursue the matter with the individual courts. The courts also have the option of vacating or sealing records. If you'd like further assistance contact me directly.
