Will I be able to get my charges expunged for job purposes?

Assuming you pled guilty or were otherwise found guilty of the charge, you cannot have it expunged.  Expungements in Virginia are only for cases of "actual innocence" such as where the charges were dropped or you were acquitted after a trial.  While pardons are granted in rare instances, that will not remove it from your record. 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.
