In Virginia, an expungement will seal court records of an arrest for criminal charges and remove these records from the public. Just because a case is dismissed, does not mean the record of its occurrence is expunged.  That requires a separate court proceeding in the Circuit Court. 

 

  New Virginia laws, some  effective 2021 and some in a few years, expand the right to the sealing of records to include not only dismissed cases, but some convictions. 

 

  Our firm will discuss potential expungement with you for free, and, if your arrest or conviction  qualifies for sealing or expungement, handle the matter for a flat fee.
