Re: Espungement

In the Commonwealth, expungement of felony record convictions is not possible unless you can prove that you were wrongfully convicted and have received a pardon from the governor.

However, first time offenders with a misdemeanor

conviction may possibly have their records expunged if they meet the criteria set out in Va. Code Sec. 19.2-392.2(F).

It is possible to seal the arrest record of some, but not all charges. I can certainly help you with this matter if you contact me with further information.
