Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia

I made an oral agreement with my father about two years ago. In our arrangement he was to clear all of my debt with my creditors and in exchange I would sign my car over to him. Long story short, He did not pay any of the bills and refuses to give me my car back. I am pursuing the matter in court and I have requested my father either return the vehicle or the vehicle's worth which has appreciated since it is a classic car. I have a trial date set for January 30th, what should I do to prepare in order to make certain the judge rules in my favor?

Hire an attorney to prosecute your claim in what appears to be

Warrant & Detinue (if the matter is in regular general district court rather than

small claims court).

Nevertheless, if the case is scheduled to be heard in small claims, I would

still recommend that you arrange to consult with a lawyer who handles

civil litigation matters as to how best to prepare and present your case in

small claims court.
