I have a 6 year old felony conviction on my record. How do I get it sealed or pardoned?

Unfortunately, there is no way to expunge or seal a felony conviction, but you can seek a pardon from the governor.  However, this does not remove the charge from your record, it would just be something you could show potential employers.  But pardons are extremely rare.  Another thing you can do is seek a restoration of your rights, such as the right to vote, sit on a jury, or serve as a notary.  But a restoration of rights will not help with your job hunting. 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.
