Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

capias-voilation of court order

I have a capias against me in Arlington County, VA because I was not notified to show up for a court date, Aug.2003.

Also there is a false charge brought agoinst me by a federal judge I used to date stating that I was in violation of a court order, dated Feb. 2003.

Is there a statue of limitations when this would all go away.

Also I need a new attorney to represent me for an Aug, 30, 2004 court appearance in Arlington County, VA I fired to old firm because they messed up 2 to 3 times.

The warrant for your arrest(capias)for failure to appear could continue in the WALES (wide area law enforcement system )or other law enforcement databases for an indefinite period.

Over the years I have represented many defendants in both the Arlington Co. General District as well as Circuit Court charged with felonies or misdemeanors and with a certain number of these involving FTA's(failures to appear).
