When a misdemeanor case is dismissed, it typically means that the charges against the individual are dropped, and they are not found guilty. However, the dismissal does not automatically remove the misdemeanor from their criminal record. Depending on the jurisdiction, individuals may need to take additional steps, such as filing for expungement, to have the record cleared or sealed. It's important to consult local laws or a legal professional for specific guidance on this process.

How long does any class misdemeanor remain on record even if convicted in Virginia?

In Virginia, a class misdemeanor conviction remains on your criminal record indefinitely unless you take steps to have it expunged. Generally, expungement is not available for misdemeanor convictions unless there are specific circumstances, such as the case being dismissed or resulting in a not guilty verdict.
