If you plead guilty, such as as part of a plea bargain, or you were found guilty, then these charges can never be expunged and will stay on your record forever.  Expungements are only available in Virginia for people who are actually innocent, such as those where the charges were dropped or otherwise dismissed.  The best you could hope for is to have your rights restored and/or to seek clemency or a pardon from the governor.  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.
