i was charged wih a felony for embezzelment back in 2008

If you were not convicted and did not plead guilty there is a good possibility the charge could be expunged, however it is not a sure thing, as it is with misdemeanors.  You would have to petition the court and make a case for why the expungement should be granted. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.
