FAQ

In California, a misdemeanor conviction will typically remain on your criminal record permanently unless you take legal action to get it expunged or dismissed. Even misdemeanor offenses that may seem relatively minor can continue to show up on background checks indefinitely.

In certain situations, misdemeanor offenses can be placed on “advisement,” meaning they may be dismissed without a conviction. This is outlined in Virginia Code Section 19.2-298.02.

The authorized punishments for conviction of a misdemeanor are: (a) For Class 1 misdemeanors, confinement in jail for not more than twelve months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both.

Misdemeanor classes Class 1 misdemeanor: Confinement in jail for not more than 12 months and/or a possible fine of not more than $2,500. Class 2 misdemeanor: Confinement in jail for not more than six months and/or a possible fine of not more than $1,000. Class 3 misdemeanor: A fine of not more than $500.

Most first-time misdemeanors do not result in jail time. If a first-time misdemeanor offense results in a conviction, it could lead to consequences such as entry into a diversion program, fines, probation, jail time, and/or diminished job prospects.

Your record will automatically be expunged as long as you have never been convicted of a crime in Virginia and you have not been arrested or charged with a crime in Virginia in the last three years. If you do not meet these criteria, you may petition the court for an expungement of your misdemeanor arrest record.

Virginia code section 19.2-298.02 allows misdemeanor charges that would otherwise be a conviction to be taken under advisement to be dismissed. Ordinarily, the defendant is required to complete community service or some type of program as ordered by the judge to be dismissed.

To request a copy of a court record stored at Archives, you must contact the Clerk's Office in the General District Court. The Clerk's office will request the case file from Archives and have it delivered to the courthouse. Delivery can take 2-3 business days. The Clerk's office will then provide the copy as requested.

Virginia law does not currently allow for expungement of convictions or deferred dispositions; whereas, a sizeable number of states authorize such actions: • 41 states allow misdemeanor convictions to be expunged or sealed; and, • 36 states allow felony convictions to be expunged or sealed.
