You might be able to do some of User's suggestions (see post #3) yourself. Talking to an attorney, first consultation, is generally no charge. If you do nothing, that is likely what you will get.
==oops== turns out this website doesn't allow HTML formatting; I hope you can figure it out. ===
I always let people know before the money-clock starts ticking, so don't worry about that.
To file a motion, put it in the form of a legal pleading, which in a Virginia court has this format:
VIRGINIA:
<p align=center>In the Circuit (or General District or Juvenile and Domestic Relations) Court for the County (or City) of Blahblah</p>
<hr>
PlaintiffsName (in this case, "Commonwealth"), Plaintiff
v. Case Number ________________________
DefendantsName Civil (or in this case, Criminal) Division
<hr>
<p align=center>
Motion
</p>
<hr>
COMES NOW <u>(your name)</u>, and moves this Court for certain relief as is stated herein:
1. fact statements go here in numbered paragraphs; identify yourself, what you want, and why you should get what you want, in as many numbered paragraphs as it takes.
2. Legalese is not required, it is sufficient if you can clearly tell who you are, what you want, and why you should get what you want.
3. After all your numbered paragraphs:
WHEREFORE, <u>(your name)</u> prays this Court for entry of an order granting (whatever you want the court to do and ordering whomever is necessary to do it).
<p align=center> Respectfully submitted, <br>_____________________________________<br
<u>(your name again)</u>, <i>pro-se</i></p>
=== Then, at the bottom of all that, sign it and put your address and telephone number under your signature
Then add a paragraph called, "Certificate of Service", and write down the names of everyone you gave a copy to as notice or their attorneys; in a criminal case, that would be the Commonwealth's Attorney; be sure to write how you gave it to them, by mail, fax, or hand-delivered, and the address (or fax number) where you sent (or delivered) it to.
Sign under that paragraph certifying that you actually did send the copies. Opposing parties are always entitled to copies.
File it a week before you want to have the motion heard in court; go to the clerk's office and ask how to get it on the court's docket for a hearing.
