Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Felons becoming attorneys

I recently started a job as a paralegal, but was convicted of 2 felonies in 2000 for forgery. I also have an attempted forgery on my adult record. Also, my juvenile record has a residential burg, taking motor vehicle without permission, theft in the third degree, and I think one or two small misdemeanors. I am very interested in becoming an attorney, and I realize the dedication it will take, so before I start on this massive journey, I was just wondering if felons can even become attorneys.
