Under Virginia law, an expungement petition generally will be considered if a person was charged with a criminal offense and he or she was either (i) acquitted or (ii) the case was dismissed or nolle prosequied. The proceeding takes place in Circuit Court, and the Commonwealth Attorney acts as a defendant in the case.
Generally, the judge will grant bail unless there is probable cause to believe that you are a flight risk and/or a danger to the public. In making this determination, the judge will consider your current charge, criminal history, community ties (e.g., family in the area, whether you are employed/attend school, etc.), and other factors.
