There are two varieties of evading arrest. One is a misdemeanor. The other is a felony. If you are accused of evading in a motor vehicle, which is what you've been charged with, you will be facing the felony. And, running a stop sign, by itself, is certainly not enough to convict for that offense. So, hire a good lawyer who's willing to fight for you.... Read More

I'm sorry to hear about your situation.  Depending on your priors, you could potentially have this current charge thrown out or have it reduced to an infraction or misdemeanor.  Because there is so much information missing, it is hard to predict what can occur. But since you are no longer on parole or probation, you aren't being charged for violating your terms.  If you would like to discuss your case in more detail, I would be more than happy to offer a free consultation....

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.  ... Read More

There is no set limit on the number of times that the state can reschedule a pre trial conference.  Some Judges will get annoyed and put a stop to it while others won't.  Ultimately, Rule 600 is probably the best prevention against too many continuances.  As long as you object to the continuances the state only has 6 months from the date of filing the complaint until the date that an incarcerated defendant must be released without having to post bail (there are exceptions such as Murder cases) and 365 days to commence trial or the charges can be dismissed....

You're asking a good question, but unfortunately, the wrong question (at least initially). The real question here is whether that video is good enough evidence against you to get an arrest warrant issued. If the investigator thinks it's you, then the answer, unfortunately, is probably yes. Whether the video by itself is good enough to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt it's you is a different question, entirely. Your first step is to cease speaking with police. Next, hire a defense attorney. Your perception was correct: the police will twist everything you say to make it seem like you're guilty. Don't give them the opportunity to keep trying to do that. ...

Many felonies can be sealed but there are prerequisites.  You can not have been adjudicated guilty of any criminal offense and cannot have ever had a previous arrest sealed or expunged.  There are still some charges that can not be sealed, so you should call a criminal defense attorney to see if you are eligible to get your arrest sealed....
