I have done a lot of research online, and I see more and more that DUI's now stay on your record permanently.

Is this true? Also and most important as well, I am requesting more clarification...does this also apply to deferred prosecution for DUIs? I live in the state of WA.

Even in States that have expungement laws, it is not possible to expunge all offenses. Some States exclude DUI's from eligibility for expungement. Our website focuses on Oregon's expungement law, but we have links to attorneys in some other States, including Washington. You should consult an attorney who practices in the State where your arrest occurred to be certain whether your matter qualifies for expungement. www.expunge.org

Generally speaking, in Washington, a DUI (deferred prosecution or not) will remain on your COURT record forever. However, if you successfully complete a deferred prosecution, your DUI case will be dismissed. But the court will keep a record of it and it will count as a prior offense if you get another. If you are not already represented, you should immediately seek skilled DUI counsel. Call my office for your FREE CONSULTATION at 425-424-9401.
