Virginia Rules Worth Knowing

Two points that change outcomes

JULY 1, 2026

Record sealing changed

Virginia's record-sealing rules changed on that date. Eligibility turns on the offense, the disposition, and elapsed time, and some offenses remain ineligible. Guidance published before that date may describe rules that no longer apply.

FR-44, NOT SR-22

A DUI conviction triggers FR-44

Virginia requires an FR-44 certificate of financial responsibility after a DUI or DWI conviction, at liability limits above the state minimum. SR-22 applies to other qualifying offenses. Out-of-state drivers convicted in Virginia are not exempt.

First Steps

What to do first

Virginia appeal and filing windows are short and are not extended for hardship. Act before the first court date.

  1. 01Write down the charge, the court, the case number, and the date and time on the summons or subpoena.
  2. 02Do not discuss the facts with anyone other than an attorney, and do not post about the matter.
  3. 03Preserve records — photographs, messages, medical records, repair estimates, and correspondence.
  4. 04Note every deadline. Virginia appeal and filing windows are short and are not extended for hardship.
  5. 05If you are not a United States citizen, raise your immigration status with counsel before any plea.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which courts hear Manassas and Prince William County cases?

The 31st Judicial Circuit and the 31st Judicial District of Virginia serve Prince William County, the City of Manassas, and the City of Manassas Park. Circuit Court handles felonies, divorce, and civil claims above the district threshold. General District Court handles misdemeanors, traffic charges, and smaller civil claims. Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court handles custody, support, protective orders, and charges involving juveniles. Federal matters are heard in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division.

Does the firm have a location in Manassas?

No. The firm serves Manassas, Manassas Park, and Prince William County from its Fairfax location at 4008 Williamsburg Court, Fairfax, VA 22032. Client meetings are scheduled by appointment at a firm location, by phone, or by video.

Is reckless driving a traffic ticket in Virginia?

No. Reckless driving is a Class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia, not a traffic infraction. A conviction is a criminal conviction that appears on a criminal record, carries a maximum of twelve months in jail and a fine, and can result in license suspension. Speed-based reckless driving is the most commonly charged form in Prince William County.

What is an FR-44 and when does Virginia require one?

An FR-44 is a certificate of financial responsibility Virginia requires after a DUI or DWI conviction. It is separate from an SR-22, which applies to other qualifying offenses. An FR-44 requires liability coverage above Virginia's standard minimum and must be maintained for the period the Department of Motor Vehicles sets. Out-of-state drivers convicted in Virginia are not exempt.

What grounds for divorce does Virginia recognize?

Virginia recognizes both no-fault and fault-based grounds. No-fault divorce requires a period of separation — one year, or six months where the parties have no minor children and have signed a separation agreement. Fault grounds include adultery, cruelty, desertion or abandonment, and conviction of a felony with confinement. Grounds affect timing and can affect spousal support and equitable distribution.

Can a Virginia criminal record be sealed?

Virginia's record-sealing rules changed effective July 1, 2026. Eligibility turns on the specific offense, the disposition, and the time elapsed, and some offenses remain ineligible. Guidance published before that date may describe rules that no longer apply. Confirm current eligibility with an attorney before relying on any summary, including this one.

Can a criminal charge affect immigration status?

Yes. A plea or conviction can carry immigration consequences separate from the criminal sentence, including removal exposure, inadmissibility, and effects on naturalization or adjustment of status. Charges that appear minor in criminal court can carry serious immigration effects. Anyone who is not a United States citizen should raise immigration status with defense counsel before entering any plea.
