The box doesn’t have to stay checked.
Clean Slate of Washington does the work of clearing your record: court records, paperwork, and follow-up. Licensed partner attorneys handle the legal filings.
*Once a conviction is vacated, Washington law generally lets you say you were not convicted of that crime, including on job and housing applications. Some exceptions apply, and eligibility depends on your case.

We handle four kinds of Washington records. You don’t need to know which one you have. Check what sounds right and we’ll sort out the details during intake.
Most of the form is ours to fill out.
Clearing a record usually means tracking down court files, reading eligibility rules, and filing motions. That’s the part we take on.

Questions people ask first.
Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, ask Dottie, our AI assistant.
Is Clean Slate a law firm?
No. We gather your court records, handle the paperwork, and keep your case moving. A licensed partner attorney reviews your case, decides what can be cleared, and files for you. Nothing on this site is legal advice.
How much does it cost?
We’re finalizing pricing now. You’ll see the cost for your case before any work begins.
How long does it take?
It depends on the court and the kind of record. After the attorney reviews your case, we’ll give you an estimate.
Will my record disappear completely?
A vacated conviction comes off most public background checks, and in most cases you can say you weren’t convicted of it. Some agencies, like law enforcement, can still see it.
What if I still owe fines or fees?
Tell us anyway. Whether it affects your case depends on the record, and we’ll check. Blake cases can even mean money back.
My conviction was in another state.
We can only help with Washington records right now.
