At Clean Slate Virginia, we handle expungements in Henrico County with efficiency and experience. If you are searching for a Henrico County expungement lawyer, you’ve come to the right place. Expungement petitions in Henrico are overseen by Judge Wallerstein, and the process is routinely handled in close coordination with the Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. Because of this cooperation, most expungement orders are completed smoothly and without unnecessary delay. Clean Slate Virginia has handled numerous expungements in the Henrico Circuit Court and has the experience to know the process for successful expungements in Henrico.

While Virginia’s Clean Slate Law or record sealing law is not effective until July 1, 2026, Clean Slate Virginia has already engaged in discussions with the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, Clerk’s Office and the judges to prepare for the new law. Clean Slate Virgina’s experience with expungements in Henrico County uniquely prepares the firm for the new record sealing law in Henrico County.

Experience from Inside the Henrico System

As a former prosecutor in the Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, I know the expungement process inside and out. I have strong professional relationships with the attorneys in that office and understand how they approach these cases. This background allows me to navigate petitions efficiently, anticipate questions, and ensure that my clients’ petitions are presented properly.

Familiar with the Court’s Process

I am very familiar with how hearings are set through the Judge’s chambers and when they are required. In many cases, expungement orders can be entered without extensive hearings, saving clients unnecessary appearances and costs. When hearings are necessary, I know what Judge Wallerstein expects and how to prepare the strongest possible case for an expungement.

How Expungement Laws in Virginia Can Benefit You

Under Virginia Code § 19.2-392.2, certain criminal charges may be expunged if the defendant was found not guilty (acquitted), the charge was nolle prosequi (dropped by the prosecutor) or was otherwise dismissed. However, charges that resulted in a conviction cannot be expunged under current Virginia law.

When a charge is expunged, it is completely removed from both your criminal record and the court’s records. This means your criminal history will no longer show that you were ever arrested or charged, and the case will also be deleted from the Virginia Case Information System, making it inaccessible to the public.

Clean Slate Virginia has already begun working with the Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office to develop procedures for handling petitions to seal under Virginia’s upcoming Clean Slate law.
