Pardon Attorney In Virginia
Pardon Attorney in Fairfax, Richmond, Virginia
Our attorneys have assisted many clients in obtaining a pardon or commutation of sentence in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Obtaining a pardon is not a legal process but a political campaign. The Governer of Viginia, through the Secretary of the Commonwealth, has the ability to grant pardons. The Secretary of the Commonwealth reviews a petition submitted on behalf of the conviceted person and could grant a Simple, Conditional, or an Absolute Pardon.
Simple Pardons
When a Simple Pardon is granted the crime is forgiven and comes with a statement on your record that states that you have been pardoned. This kind of pardon can be useful if a person is struggling with gaining employment or housing after a conviction has occured
Conditional Pardons
When Conditional Pardons are granted a sentence has been reduced and a note on your record has been made that a person has been pardoned. In exchange for the reduction in sentence the pardoned person is prohibited from doing certain things such as abstiaining from alcohol.
Absolute Pardons
When an absolute pardon is granted, the record of a crime will be totally expunged. This means that there will be no record connected to you of the crime occuring.
