  • Process of expunging reckless driving from permanent record?

    Jamilah’s Answer

    Virginia only allows for expungement of criminal charges that were dismissed, nolle prossed (withdrawn), or if a person was found not guilty. There is also an exception to allow an expungement if another person committed a crime in your name. Other than that, any conviction will remain on your record no matter how old or minor.

    You will need to go through the court in order to do this instead of through your probation officer.

  • Do they need a witness/physical evidence to prosecute?

    Jamilah’s Answer

    A confession of any type helps no criminal defendant but is oftentimes excellent evidence for the police to obtain a conviction, especially when they are lacking in other forms of evidence. Do not make any more statements to law enforcement and consult with qualified local trial counsel now.

  • I live in Virginia and was charged with possession of a firearm by a violent felon and possession of ammo?

    Jamilah’s Answer

    You need to consult with and hire local counsel. There are many defenses to this charge but an attorney who can look at the individual facts of your case in private is in the best position to help you. If you cannot hire an attorney be sure to apply with the court clerk for court-appointed counsel. Good luck.

  • What does it mean to have a. 'F' grade after felony probation violation?

    Jamilah’s Answer

    A lot of this will depend on the underlying charge and why he was on probation in the first place. You need to sit down with a lawyer in confidence and go over his Major Violation Report or Probation Violation Capias. An attorney who practices in Staunton courts is in the best place to help you. Good luck.

    Jamilah’s Answer

    Yes, he can charge you later. If you talk to law enforcement, you should not do so without a lawyer present. Remember that officers are allowed to lie to you and you will need the protection of an attorney.

    Jamilah’s Answer

    You cannot seek an expungement for a North Carolina charge in Virginia. You would be best served to seek the counsel of local counsel in North Carolina who has experience with expungement matters. Good luck.
