Notice!

Virginia just made history! For the first time ever, Virginia’s new Clean Slate Law allows certain criminal convictions to be sealed from public view. Once sealed, convictions won’t appear on most background checks—giving you a real chance at better jobs, housing, and a fresh start. Virginia’s Clean Slate Law takes effect July 1, 2026. Don’t miss your opportunity to leave the past behind!
