Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

Re: fines

Wow! Congratulations on being clean and sober. That is a lot of fines. Okay, you have a couple of options. The first is bankruptcy. You cannot bankrupt out of court fines but you can clear the interest, collections and added fees. You'll need to talk to a bankruptcy lawyer about this.

The other, depending on the court, is to ask the judge for relief. Some courts will do this and others will not. Most courts impose a one year look back limit after which they will not pull a case out of collections. However, if you have the proof of your treatment and how well you are doing you may be able to get a judge to make an exception in your case.

Let me know if you need further assistance doing this.

At your service,
