A Spokane Valley Gun Rights Attorney Helping You Protect Your Legal Rights
Leading our comprehensive criminal defense practice is Spokane restoration of rights attorney Dean Chuang. With an extensive understanding of the state and federal laws surrounding gun rights and expungement in Washington, our lawyer can offer you competent legal advice and assistance with:
- Restoration of Gun Rights. If you are convicted of an adult or juvenile felony conviction in Washington, you will lose your right to possess a firearm. A conviction for a number of misdemeanor domestic violence charges will also result in this same loss of rights. RCW 9.41.040/9.41.047 allow for gun rights to be returned by the Washington state superior courts if the following requirements are met:
-
- There are no criminal charges pending against you in any court
- Your conviction was for a non-violent offense as described in RCW 9.94A.030, and was not a sex crime
- You were not the subject of a mental health hold
- Since you completed the requirements of your sentence, more than 5 years have passed since your last criminal charge
- Clearing Your Criminal Record. Washington law allows some felony and misdemeanor charges to be expunged — or erased — from your criminal record. Once a charge is expunged, you do not need to disclose that you were ever convicted of the crime. Some of the requirements for this action include:
- You have completed your sentence and have obtained a Certificate of Discharge from court
- There are no criminal charges pending against you in any court
- Your conviction was for a non-violent offense as described in RCW 9.94A.030 or a sex offense
- Since you were issued a discharge, you have spent a specific number of years criminal charge free; 10 years for a Class B felony, 5 years for a Class C felony, 5 years for a Domestic Violence Misdemeanor charge and 3 years for a gross misdemeanor
- The offense did not involve driving under the influence or a related offense
