Legal Question in Traffic Law in Virginia
My daughter failed to appear in court on a traffic violation.She was driving on a suspended licence. This took place in the state of Virginia. The problem is that she has sence moved to Malaysia to live with us and was unaware that there was a warrent out for her arrest (due to not appearing in court). We have payed all fines and are in the process of trying to find some one that will respond to her requests for legal help.We also cotacted the county court whos responce was simply "get a attorny".She is trying to make this right - but at a loss as to how to proceed.Is there any way she can take care of this from over seas or does she have to return to Virginia?
1 Answer from Attorneys
You should attempt to retain local counsel for your daughter in the locality of
the court which issued the capias (warrant) for her and who is experienced with and knowledgeable regarding Virginia traffic court matters.
If necessary, the local Virginia bar association for that locality should be able to provide some names and contact information for attorneys in that
area who handle these kinds of cases.
