Virginia’s Misdemeanor Classifications

Misdemeanor crimes are categorized in classes, from most to least serious. As you can see below, misdemeanors can often result in serious fines and even significant jail time for those convicted.

Virginia classifies misdemeanors in the following classes:

Class 1 Misdemeanors 

These are considered the most serious crimes classified as misdemeanors. Class 1 misdemeanors include carrying a gun without the required permit, DUI, and domestic violence. They are punishable by jail terms of up to 12 months, fines of up to $2,500, or both.

Do Misdemeanors Stay on My Criminal Record?

If you are convicted of a misdemeanor in Virginia, that conviction will go on your criminal record permanently. This means that it will be visible to anyone performing a background check, including potential employers. Although misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, a conviction will still appear on your public criminal record and likely have serious, detrimental effects on your reputation and ability to gain employment.

Unfortunately, Virginia also has strict laws about expungement; in most cases, you will not be able to get your misdemeanor conviction expunged from your record. Expungements are only available if your charges were dismissed, if you were acquitted at trial, or if it is found later that someone else committed the crime under your name.
