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.
