Hey ****! In Virginia, you may be eligible to expunge your record if you were acquitted. Here's what you can consider:
- File a petition for expungement in the circuit court where the charge was filed.
- Prove that the arrest was due to mistaken identity or no offense was committed.
- Consulting a lawyer can help you navigate this process effectively.
Regarding suing the person who assaulted you, you might consider a civil lawsuit for damages. Would you like to explore connecting with local attorneys for more assistance on these matters?
