Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

arrested on felony which should of been civil case

we have a easement across our neibors property. we hired a company to build a bridge across the creek at the entrance of the easement at the road.She went to the court house and had us arrested on a felony for destroying her bridge. should of been a civil case ,and the judge did dismissed it after we finally got into court ,after almost a year of her not showing up in court. knowing we hired someone to built a bridge ,which is improving our easemen ,why did the prosecuting attorney let this go to criminal court. we had 3 court dates before we finally got in front of the judge.each court date before our lawyer would not let us go see the judge, he would say go home. finally the last time i told him we were going to see the judge when he called our name ,which we did and he dismissed the charges.there is something strange that hapened here ,now we find out a month ago our lawyer didn't get a final judgement against her in our counter suit and now shes giving us trouble again. i called the lawyer we had before and he told me he threw all our files away from our case before.where can we go to get someone to look into this case. she also filed same felony in another county at the same time. we did not received any $ for any of this
