Expungement is not automatic under VA law and requires arguments before a court in most cases. For this reason, attorney representation is strongly encouraged. Please call me at 703.926.3900 to discuss your case further.

it will not happen in the Commonwealth. (See Va. Code Sec. 19.2-392.2 et seq.)
