Expungements in Richmond, VA

Are you wondering how you can get your criminal record expunged in Virginia? The lawyers at Jurach, Tacey & Quitiquit, PLC regularly answer questions relating to expungements. The most common inquiries relate to eligibility and the process.

Am I Eligible for an Expungement? 

The expungement process is controlled by VA Code §19.2-392.2.  There are a number of factors relating to determining if an individual is eligible for an expungement.  The key to expungement is determining eligibility and the standard that will apply to a particular petitioner’s case.  Our lawyers can go through the requirements with you to determine if you are eligible for an expungement.

The Expungement Process 

The expungement process is highly technical.  If any of the conditions are not met, you may risk having your petition denied.  The first step we suggest is sitting down with one of our experienced attorneys to discuss the road ahead.  While the process is generally the same, each court handles expungements slightly differently. Our lawyers handle expungements all over Virginia.  The following is a list of what is typically needed:

• A copy of the warrant or indictment
• A motion to the appropriate Court
• Fingerprints from law enforcement

Depending on the circumstances a hearing may be required.  If a hearing is required there are several factors that the petitioner must show to have the charge expunged.  This is why we always suggest having the initial consultation.  We can help determine which standard must be proven to have the expungement granted.
