Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: Expunge VA Concealment Charge

You should contact an attorney experienced with handling expungements in the Superior Court. Your attorney will prepare an expungement petition which under state law must contain substantial background information, including:

a. Date of Birth and Social Security #

b. Date of Arrest

c. Statute Arrested For and Statute Convicted

d. Original Indictment, Summons, or Complaint Number

e. Petitioner's Date of Conviction or Date of Disposition

f. Court's Disposition of the Matter and Punishment Adopted, if Any

In addition, the Expungement Petition must have an affidavit that states that there are no charges pending and that the petitioner never previously received a prior expungement. The Expungement Petition is filed in the county where the offense took place, not where the defendant lives. Once filed, the Superior Court will set a hearing within 35-60 days.

Va. Code Sec. 19.2-392.2(F) describes how a person who has only one misdemeanor conviction may seek to have the record of it expunged.
