Legal Question in Construction Law in Virginia

Yes, any credible Answer & Grounds of Defense (A&GD;) must necessarily include specific facts to have any chance of reasonably persuading the trier of fact in the case as to the defendant's position in the matter. Merely citing a couple of statutes which the plaintiff is supposed to have allegedly violated

is unlikely to be adjudged as such a credible A&GD;and consequently unlikely

to favorably advance the defendant's claims in the matter (my opinion).

As you obviously lack the knowledge to competently proceed with drafting this pleading, I would urge you to arrange for a consultation with an attorney who

has experience in litigating Virginia cases and who should be able to competently instruct you as to how best to prepare and present your matter in the General District Court where it is scheduled to be adjudicated.
