A convicted felon would not be able to practice law in Virginia or in any other state. An attorney would probably not choose to commit a felony to begin with.

Can a felon practice law in Virginia?

I was told by a member of the Va bar association that a felon does have the right to practice law in Va but you mus go before the board in order to be cleared to do so. You must prove that you are rehabilitated and a worthy person of practicing law. If they give you the nod, then yes. I do not know how difficult it it to get approval but it a shot.

Can a convicted felon practice law in the state of Georgia?

You can contact the Georgia State Bar Association for a definite answer to this question, but I do not believe that convicted felons are eligible for admittance to The Bar. - - - - - - - - Added: The fact is that, in Georgia, a convicted felon cannot ever vote again or obtain any kind of license, other than a driving license. Therefore, one cannot practice law, be an insurance agent, real estate broker, or anything that requires any state licensing. You are far better advised to move to Florida, where your civil rights can and will be reinstated once you have completed all your paper (parole, supervised release, etc.). As to practice of law in Florida, it is possible to be admitted to the bar, but it is VERY difficult to obtain an approval. I am given to understand that a convicted felon can practice in California, at least with respect to certain areas of the law, if not all. Some sort of limited admission to the bar.
