Can a misdemeanor be removed from my record?

In Virginia, records relating to convictions cannot be removed from a person's criminal record. However, in some circumstances records relating to arrests which did not result in conviction can be removed - or expunged. Whether records relating to arrests for offenses which were subsequently dismissed can be expunged in Virginia depends on the facts and circumstances of the case. Specifically, whether the Virginia arrest was for a misdemeanor or a felony, what exactly happened in the Virginia court, whether the person has a criminal history, and whether the continued presence of the arrest record could cause unfair problems for the person. In short, if the person does not have a criminal record and the Virginia arrest was for a misdemeanor, the government has to prove why the expungement should not be granted. If the person has a criminal record and/or the Virginia arrest was for a felony, the person has to prove why the expungement should be granted. If you have a Virginia arrest for a charge which was later dismissed on your criminal record and you would like to have the Virginia arrest removed / expunged from your record, call The Wilson Law Firm at 703-361-6100 and we'll be happy to discuss the situation with you in more detail.
