Assault 4 Domestic Violence criminal charges are very complex. They involve family situations because the accused has to live outside of the home while the case is pending. The defendant also has to be very careful not to violate the No Contact Order that is put into place at the time of arrest or at Arraignment. If he or she calls the victim or answers a text message, you can be charged with another very serious crime called violation of a no contact order. Additionally, just the charging of a crime can impact someone's professional license.

This comes up a lot with Bainbridge Island Assault cases and can be a big challenge so we try to resolve these cases quickly.

There are significant differences between sealing a criminal record, expunging non-conviction data, and vacating a criminal conviction. They are governed by different rules. Sealing a court record is at the discretion of a judge. Expunging non conviction history is at the discretion of the Washington State Patrol. Some criminal charges, like a DUI, cannot be vacated. It is important to talk to an experienced attorney who handles these types of issues if you need assistance. Many people want to make sure they can pass a criminal background check but don't realize it can take many steps as well as years of waiting to accomplish this task. It is not something most non-lawyers understand how to do.
