Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Tennessee
Personal property dismissal
I live in the st of VA,aug of 03, took a warrant for harassment against a former ex.Judge left the ''charge'' pending ,condition he stay away for six months. He told judge when questioned personal items he still had, worth $4200.Judge recommended ,attorney and he and I go in front of the clerks office, make a list of items to be returned. we did and he admitted in courtroom & to my attorney the things on the list.Judge did not put this on paperwork? We set a time and place for retrieval. I havent received all items. He now lives in TN ,filed a civil warrant. I thought case was cut and dry he admitted to having the items to judge and attorney in VA we had the list she wrote.He had attorney and they conducted a trial I was kind of in the dark? He lied,had his family saying I never owned any of these although he returned part of the list. I find out since the case was dismissed I could have appealed but time period has went by. I really would settle forthe one item that was my first mothers day present a diamond pendant. I had returned all his items prior and only wanted mine.Do I have other options now to get my items. Thank you very much for any help it is appreciated. I cant afford an attorney at this time. Any suggestions

Unless your case was dismissed with prejudice, you could refile the case for whatever part of the claim you still wish to pursue.
