Common Questions
No. Sealing limits public access to an eligible record so it generally won't appear on most background checks, but the record still exists. Expungement is a separate, older Virginia process. We help with both.
Not necessarily. Some records seal automatically over time, but many require a petition you must file in court. We identify which path applies to you.
