Legal Question in Administrative Law in Virginia
A friend has a court order for fare evasion in Virginia. I understand that it is considered misdemeanor criminal offense. She jump over the barrier knowingly. How can she avoid having this criminal offense going as a permanent record? Does she needs a lawer to pleat for her? She has no other records. Thank you for your help.

Yes, your friend should have an attorney representing her on this seemingly minor
offense in order to have any chance for a disposition of this charge that may allow
her to escape without a permanent record of this misdemeanor offense (and even
with an attorney it many not happen).
