Unfortunately, you do not have any appeal avenues regarding the criminal matter available because of the passage of time beyond the deadlines.

If you want to seek possible civil rights claims against the police officers, you need to speak to an attorney that is an expert in those matters to... Read more »

First, I am not a Virginia lawyer. That being said, there is just no way to know what the "success rate" is on appeal. Every case is different. But generally, the chance of winning on appeal is 15/20% if that. I can estimate the chances of winning a given case if I had more background.

Generally, no. The appeal decision could be delayed by many reasons, some not having anything to do with the case.

A Virginia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month. It sounds like you might mean the other side got a default judgment against you based on non-appearance. You could consider reaching out to a Virginia attorney to review the file to determine if any options are... Read more »

First, I am not a Virginia lawyer. However, I would need some more context to answer your question. The difference between an appeal and a complaint filed with the trial court should be obvious. An appeal is after the parties have litigated an issue before the trial court, received a final judgment... Read more »

You can file your own Habeas Corpus motion without counsel if you need to. Depending on where you received your sentence, I would look for a lawyer who works in that area in order to assist you with what you may need to have done to potentially help you with the habeas petition and anything else...

A Virginia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, one doesn't usually appeal a law. They could appeal a court decision involving the law, or government action/outcome involving the law. If you want to appeal a government action under that... Read more »

First, I am not a VA attorney. That said, I do not think you have a final judgment, yet. I assume that you were found "guilty" of civil contempt, and I assume that was for not paying child support. Unless a finding of civil contempt is separately appealable (by VA statute or rule) that is... Read more »

You could repost in Florida. Your question remains open for two weeks, but was posted under Virginia. You might have better luck simply contacting Florida attorneys - this is only a Q & A Board. See the link above (Find-a-Lawyer), or you could run your own independent searches. Good luck... Read more »

I regret that I do not handle personal injury matters or car accident cases. Sorry.

There's an old (very old) saying most popularly attributed to Abraham Lincoln - see https://quoteinvestigator.com/2019/07/30/lawyer/

In the past I have served on a state board, and represented others before state boards. The process is technical and full of traps - you need a lawyer.... Read more »

You could argue the position because you know it's only an exercise. You could also look at things from the perspective of the 1800s toward navigation on the nation's waterways. Good luck

Pro Se Appellants are help to the same rules of the Court as a licensed attorney.

Va. Code § 16.1-296. Jurisdiction of appeals; procedure.

A. From any final order or judgment of the juvenile court affecting the rights or interests of any person coming within its jurisdiction, an appeal may be taken to the circuit court within 10 days from the entry of a final judgment,... Read more »

You need to make sure your objections were presented to the judge so the judge has an opportunity to correct what you may object to. Note that orders become final 21 days after entry.

You must notice your appeal with 30 days of entry of the final order.

I don't even know what you're trying to ask. If you were charged with driving without a license you can request a court appointed lawyer at your hearing or hire someone. Usually it helps to get properly licensed. Good luck.

You had 10 days to appeal and 60 days to reopen you case. You are obviously outside those 2 limitations. You could speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney about bringing a habeas application but I am not certain how successful that would be. I think you are stuck with your plea.
