Virginia Expungement is a process to clear your record of a charge or arrest. It can be beneficial for background checks, credit checks, and employment opportunities. However, not all charges and crimes can be expunged. If you were found guilty of a crime or were punished, you cannot expunge that crime, rather you must get it pardoned by the governor and that is a much more difficult process. So what can be expunged? If you were found not guilty, the charges were dismissed, or the charges were not prosecuted, then you have a chance to get those charges expunged. Also, if you were charged with a more serious crime than you were found guilty for, you can also try to expunge that crime. If you think you have an expunged record in Virginia please find a civil law attorney who can help you if you live near Fairfax, Loudoun, and Arlington and Prince William counties.
