What this typically includes
Reviewing your record and confirming eligibility, preparing and filing the expungement or sealing petition, and representing you at any hearing. Court filing fees and obtaining records (background check, fingerprints) are billed separately.
Virginia has a Clean Slate law that automatically clears certain eligible records over time without an application — so some records here may clear for free, though many still require a petition (and a lawyer) to expunge.
Expungement attorneys in Virginia usually charge a flat fee per petition. Virginia sets which offenses are eligible, the waiting period, and whether any records clear automatically, and these laws are expanding quickly, so confirm the current rules locally.
